Structural Variation of Alu Element and Human Disease
Transposable elements are one of major sources to cause genomic instability through various mechanisms including de novo insertion, insertion-mediated genomic deletion, and recombination-associated genomic deletion. Among them is Alu element which is the most abundant element, composing ~10% of the human genome. The element emerged in the primate genome 65 million years ago and has since propag...
متن کاملStructural variation of the human genome.
There is growing appreciation that the human genome contains significant numbers of structural rearrangements, such as insertions, deletions, inversions, and large tandem repeats. Recent studies have defined approximately 5% of the human genome as structurally variant in the normal population, involving more than 800 independent genes. We present a detailed review of the various structural rear...
متن کاملHuman Genome Structural Variation January 23 , 2006
Rationale. The last three years have brought considerable progress in understanding the nature and patterns of single nucleotide polymorphism within the human species. Of the estimated 10-15 million common SNPs, a large fraction have already been discovered and 3.8 million SNPs converted to genotyping assays, providing the community with a framework to investigate associations between common SN...
متن کاملStructural variation in the human genome.
Genomic structural variation is generally defined as deletions, insertions, duplications, inversions, translocations or copy number variation (CNV) in large DNA segments (>1 kb). The structural variation in an individual genome includes thousands of discrete regions, spans millions of base pairs, and encompasses numerous entire genes and their regulatory regions. This results in missing or chan...
متن کاملHuman Genetic Variation and Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disorder with multifactorial etiology. In the past decade, the genetic causes of monogenic forms of familial PD have been defined. However, the etiology and pathogenesis of the majority of sporadic PD cases that occur in outbred populations have yet to be clarified. The recent development of resources such as the International HapMap Proje...
