Determining the origin of synchronous multifocal bladder cancer by exome sequencing
(BioMed Central Ltd., 2015)Background: Synchronous multifocal tumours are commonly observed in urothelial carcinomas of the bladder. The origin of these physically independent tumours has been proposed to occur by either intraluminal migration ... -
Early postzygotic mutations contribute to de novo variation in a healthy monozygotic twin pair
(B M J Group, 2014)Background: Human de novo single-nucleotide variation (SNV) rate is estimated to range between 0.82-1.70×10-8 mutations per base per generation. However, contribution of early postzygotic mutations to the overall human de ... -
A global reference for human genetic variation
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)The 1000 Genomes Project set out to provide a comprehensive description of common human genetic variation by applying whole-genome sequencing to a diverse set of individuals from multiple populations. Here we report ... -
A high-coverage genome sequence from an archaic Denisovan individual
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (A A A S), 2012-10-12)We present a DNA library preparation method that has allowed us to reconstruct a high-coverage (30x) genome sequence of a Denisovan, an extinct relative of Neandertals. The quality of this genome allows a direct estimation ... -
An integrated map of structural variation in 2,504 human genomes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)Structural variants are implicated in numerous diseases and make up the majority of varying nucleotides among human genomes. Here we describe an integrated set of eight structural variant classes comprising both balanced ... -
Integromic analysis of genetic variation and gene expression identifies networks for cardiovascular disease phenotypes
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2015)BACKGROUND - : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) reflects a highly coordinated complex of traits. Although genome-wide association studies have reported numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to be associated with CVD, ... -
Mutations in RAD21 disrupt regulation of apob in patients with chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction
(W.B. Saunders, 2015)Background Aims Chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction (CIPO) is characterized by severe intestinal dysmotility that mimics a mechanical subocclusion with no evidence of gut obstruction. We searched for genetic variants ... -
Privacy-preserving genomic testing in the clinic: a model using HIV treatment
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Purpose:The implementation of genomic-based medicine is hindered by unresolved questions regarding data privacy and delivery of interpreted results to health-care practitioners. We used DNA-based prediction of HIV-related ... -
A resampling-based meta-analysis for detection of differential gene expression in breast cancer
(BioMed Central, 2008)Background: Accuracy in the diagnosis of breast cancer and classification of cancer subtypes has improved over the years with the development of well-established immunohistopathological criteria. More recently, diagnostic ... -
