BIRC5 Genomic Copy Number Variation in Early-Onset Breast Cancer
Background: Baculoviral inhibitor of apoptosis repeat-containing 5 (BIRC5) gene is an inhibitor of apoptosis that expresses in human embryonic tissues but it is absent in most healthy adult tissues. The copy number of BIRC5 has been indicated to be highly increased in tumor tissues; however, its association with the age of onset in breast cancer is not well understood. Methods: Forty tumor tiss...
متن کاملGenomic Copy Number Variations in the Genomes of Leukocytes Predict Prostate Cancer Clinical Outcomes
Accurate prediction of prostate cancer clinical courses remains elusive. In this study, we performed whole genome copy number analysis on leukocytes of 273 prostate cancer patients using Affymetrix SNP6.0 chip. Copy number variations (CNV) were found across all chromosomes of the human genome. An average of 152 CNV fragments per genome was identified in the leukocytes from prostate cancer patie...
متن کاملIdentification of lethal microRNAs specific for head and neck cancer.
PURPOSE The prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCC) remains disappointing and the development of novel anti-cancer agents is urgently awaited. We identified by a functional genetic screen microRNAs that are selectively lethal for head and neck cancer cells but not for normal cells. We further investigated the genes targeted by these microRNAs. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN A retrovi...
متن کاملGermline copy number variations in BRCA1-associated ovarian cancer patients.
We investigated characteristics of germline copy number variations (CNV) in BRCA1-associated ovarian cancer patients by comparing them to CNVs present in sporadic ovarian cancer patients. Germline CNVs in 51 BRCA1-associated, 33 sporadic ovarian cancer patients, and 47 healthy women were analyzed by both signal intensity and genotyping data using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0. ...
