Project description:PKD2 Arg803* is the most common mutation in Taiwan ADPKD Cohort. Genotyping of 96 PKD2 Arg803* individuals was performed in Axiom Genome-Wide TWB 2.0 Array Plate to study the existence of founder mutation in Taiwan
Project description:Genome-Wide Screening of Genomic Alterations and Transcriptional Modulation in Non-Smoking Female Lung Cancer in Taiwan Sixty-one pairs of cancer and normal lung tissue specimens from non-smoking females were collected at National Taiwan University Hospital and Taichung Veterans General Hospital. The selection criteria of clinical specimens depend on pathology report, physical examination and cigarette-smoking history. Surgical lung tissue specimens were immediately snap-frozen in liquid N2 and stored at -80 °C. Surgical specimens would be further processed for RNA and DNA extraction. Only those samples passed quality controls were processed for gene expression profiling analysis and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) analysis respectively.
Project description:Genome-wide expression profiling of NSCLC patients were done using Phalanx Human OneArray chip. The surgically resected tumor tissue and corresponding normal tissue were collected from 21 patients diagnosed with primary NSCLC admitted to Taipei Veterans General Hospital, Taiwan.
