Project description:Sardinian alcohol-preferring (sP) and Sardinina alcohol-non preferring (sNP) rats have been selectively bred for opposite alcohol preference and consumption. The project proposed to identify salivary markers distinguishing the two rat lines possibly correlated to alcohol preference, by a proteomic approach.
Project description:A subset of ovarian cancer are characterized by 19q12 amplification. To perform funtional studies of this amplicon the profile has been determined by SNP analysis.
Project description:Reports on common mutations in neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are rare and clonality of NET metastases has not been investigated in this tumor entity yet. We selected a NET and a the corresponding lymph node and liver metastases as well as the derivative cell lines to screen for somatic mutations in the primary NET and to track the fate of genetic changes (by Affymetrix SNP 6.0 micorarray and targeted resequencing by 454 GS FLX) and during metastasis and in vitro progression. using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 Arrays.
Project description:Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from cryopreserved diagnostic bone marrow samples.
Project description:Pediatric patients with de novo acute myeloid leukemia. To define genomic architecture, we performed genome-wide copy number abberation analysis in 460 paired diagnostic-remission bone marrow aspirates. Illumina SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from cryopreserved diagnostic and remission bone marrow samples.
Project description:A subset of ovarian cancer are characterized by 19q12 amplification. To perform funtional studies of this amplicon the profile has been determined by SNP analysis. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on genomic DNA extracted from ovarian cancer cell lines OVCAR-3 and FU-OV-1
Project description:Objectives: Despite recent advancements in diagnostic tools, the genomic landscape of hereditary hearing loss remains largely uncharacterized. One strategy to understand genome-wide aberrations includes the analysis of copy number variation that can be mapped using SNP-microarray technology. A growing collection of literature has begun to uncover the importance of copy number variation in hereditary hearing loss. This pilot study underpins a larger effort that involves the stage-wise analysis of hearing loss patients, many of whom have advanced to high-throughput sequencing analysis. Data description: Our data originate from Infinium HumanOmni1-Quad v1.0 SNP-microarrays (Illumina) that provide useful markers for genome-wide association studies and copy number variation analysis. This dataset comprises a cohort of 108 individuals (99 with hearing loss, 9 normal hearing family members) for the purpose of understanding the genetic contribution of copy number variations to hereditary hearing loss.
Project description:The identification of surrogate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers that can predict responses to preoperative chemoradiotherapy (CRT) in rectal cancer patients. Genome-wide association studies in clinical populations are theoretically capable of identifying markers that are capable of tumor regression after CRT. We used Affymetrix’s SNP Array 6.0 to detail genetic polymorphism of patient’s group showing differential responsiveness to preoperative CRT and profiled SNP biomarkers.
Project description:The identification of surrogate single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers that can predict responses to chemotherapy could enable the efficient selection of patients for various regimens. Genome-wide association studies in clinical populations are theoretically capable of identifying markers that are capable of influencing drug responses. We used Affymetrix’s SNP Array 6.0 to detail genetic polymorphism of patient’s group showing differential responsiveness to various regimens and profiled SNP biomarkers for various regimens.
