Copy number variants and pharmacogenomics.
The earliest pharmacogenomic studies focused on highly penetrant sequence polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes. The recent discovery of the widespread occurrence of copy number variants/polymorphisms in the human genome holds promise for new pharmacogenomic discoveries, aside from the commonly used single nucleotide polymorphism approach. Here we review the discovery of copy number varian...
متن کاملmitochondrial copy number and d-loop variants in pompe patients
objective: pompe disease is a rare neuromuscular genetic disorder and is classified into two forms of early and late-onset. over the past two decades, mitochondrial abnormalities have been recognized as an important contributor to an array of neuromuscular diseases. we therefore aimed to compare mitochondrial copy number and mitochondrial displacement-loop sequence variation in infantile and ad...
متن کاملCopy number variants, diseases and gene expression.
Copy number variation (CNV) has recently gained considerable interest as a source of genetic variation likely to play a role in phenotypic diversity and evolution. Much effort has been put into the identification and mapping of regions that vary in copy number among seemingly normal individuals in humans and a number of model organisms, using bioinformatics or hybridization-based methods. These...
متن کاملCopy Number Variation of KIR Genes Influences HIV-1 Control
A genome-wide screen for large structural variants showed that a copy number variant (CNV) in the region encoding killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) associates with HIV-1 control as measured by plasma viral load at set point in individuals of European ancestry. This CNV encompasses the KIR3DL1-KIR3DS1 locus, encoding receptors that interact with specific HLA-Bw4 molecules to regula...
متن کاملCopy number variants in Ebstein anomaly
BACKGROUND Ebstein anomaly (EA) is a rare congenital defect characterized by apical displacement of the septal tricuspid leaflets and atrialization of the right ventricle. The etiology of EA is unclear; however, recurrence in families and the association of EA with genetic syndromes and copy number variants (CNVs) suggest a genetic component. OBJECTIVE We performed a population-based study to...
