Project description:EZH2 is shown to be involved in regulation of DNA damage repair which may contribute to development of breast tumor initiating cells. To identify genomic aberrations regulated by EZH2 expression, we performed genome wide copy number variation analysis in breast tumor initiating cells expressing EZH2 compared to the vector control. This finding suggests EZH2 contributes to oncogenic amplification in breast tumor initiating cells. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from primary breast tumor initiating cells infected with EZH2 or Vector control constructs Copy number variation analysis of Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays was performed and compared between EZH2 and Vector control infected groups
Project description:Copy number profiling of 36 ovarian tumors on Affymetrix 100K SNP arrays Thirty-six ovarian tumors were profiled for copy-number alterations with the Affymetrix 100K Mapping Array. Copy number profiling of 36 ovarian tumors on Affymetrix 500K SNP arrays Sixteen ovary tumors were profiled for copy-number alterations with the high-resolution Affymetrix 500K Mapping Array.

Project description:Affymetrix 10K SNP mapping arrays were used to profile 14 basal cell carcinomas (BCCs) with matched blood DNA samples. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and copy number abnormality (CNA) profiles were derived from each tumour-blood pair. Keywords: Genomic DNA on Affymetrix 10K SNP array
Project description:Mutations in the PTH1R gene were reported but these mutations are limited to a small subgroup of patients. The etiology of Ollier disease is unknown. We therefore undertook genome-wide copy number and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays on 37 tumors of 28 Ollier patients in combination with expression array using Illumina Beadarray v3.0 for 7 tumors of 6 patients. We used Affymetrix SNP 6.0 to find out LOH and copy number alterations in Ollier tumors.
Project description:sPNETs are highly malignant embryonal brain tumours of poor prognosis. The underlying biology is poorly understood. To address this we therefore performed high resolution genetic analysis. 36 CNS PNETs and 8 PBs were analysed using the Affymetrix 100K and 500K Mapping Set to identify copy number imbalance at both the chromosome and gene level. Keywords: Affymetrix 100K SNP array, Affymetrix 500K SNP arrays
Project description:Development of a clinically relevant animal models of RCC for preclinical investigations. For DNA copy number analysis, the Sty I (250K) SNP array of the 500K Human Mapping Array (Affymetrix) was used. Arrays were scanned by GeneChip Scanner 3000 7G. Probe-level signal intensities were normalized to a baseline array with median intensity using invariant set normalization and SNP-level signal intensities were obtained using a model-based (PM/MM) method. Keywords: SNP array data, renal cell carcinoma
Project description:In order to benchmark the reproducibility of Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 for detecting copy-number alterations, we performed replicate hybridizations of 3 tumor cell lines and 2 paired normal cell lines obtained from the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC). We calculated copy numbers at each SNP probeset by a custom copy-number pipeline (PMID: 18772890). For each cell line, copy number data from replicate arrays are supplied in the accompanying matrix files. For each SNP probeset, we calculated the median copy number across replicate arrays. We compared the copy-number alterations detected by Circular Binary Segmentation segmentation of these arrays with statistical analyses of short sequence reads obtained from the Illumina/Solexa 1G GenomeAnalyzer. Shotgun sequencing results can be found in the NCBI Short Read Archive, accession number SRP000246 Keywords: disease state analysis
