In the past 20 years, association studies of schizophrenia have evolved from analyses in lesser than 100 subjects of one or two markers in candidate genes to systematic analyses of association at a genome-wide level in samples of thousands...

De novo mutation in schizophrenia.

Several studies in the last 5 years have shown that newly arising (de novo) mutations contribute to the genetics of schizophrenia (SZ). This will replenish genetic variants removed by natural selection and could, in part, explain why SZ prevalence...

Combined analysis with copy number variation identifies risk loci in lung cancer.

BACKGROUND: Lung cancer is the most important cause of cancer mortality worldwide, but the underlying mechanisms of this disease are not fully understood. Copy number variations (CNVs) are promising genetic variations to study because of their potential effects on...

Systematic prioritization and integrative analysis of copy number variations in schizophrenia reveal key schizophrenia susceptibility genes.

Schizophrenia bulletin

Luo X, Huang L, Han L, Luo Z, Hu F, Tieu R, Gan L.
PMID: 24664977
Schizophr Bull. 2014 Nov;40(6):1285-99. doi: 10.1093/schbul/sbu045. Epub 2014 Mar 24.

Schizophrenia is a common mental disorder with high heritability and strong genetic heterogeneity. Common disease-common variants hypothesis predicts that schizophrenia is attributable in part to common genetic variants. However, recent studies have clearly demonstrated that copy number variations (CNVs)...

Using MEMo to discover mutual exclusivity modules in cancer.

Current protocols in bioinformatics

Ciriello G, Cerami E, Aksoy BA, Sander C, Schultz N.
PMID: 23504936
Curr Protoc Bioinformatics. 2013 Mar;Unit 8.17. doi: 10.1002/0471250953.bi0817s41.

Although individual tumors show surprisingly diverse genomic alterations, these events tend to occur in a limited number of pathways, and alterations that affect the same pathway tend to not co-occur in the same patient. While pathway analysis has been...

Distribution of disease-associated copy number variants across distinct disorders of cognitive development.

Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry

Pescosolido MF, Gamsiz ED, Nagpal S, Morrow EM.
PMID: 23582872
J Am Acad Child Adolesc Psychiatry. 2013 Apr;52(4):414-430.e14. doi: 10.1016/j.jaac.2013.01.003.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to discover the extent to which distinct DSM disorders share large, highly recurrent copy number variants (CNVs) as susceptibility factors. We also sought to identify gene mechanisms common to groups of...

CNApp, a tool for the quantification of copy number alterations and integrative analysis revealing clinical implications.

eLife

Franch-Expósito S, Bassaganyas L, Vila-Casadesús M, Hernández-Illán E, Esteban-Fabró R, Díaz-Gay M, Lozano JJ, Castells A, Llovet JM, Castellví-Bel S, Camps J.
PMID: 31939734
Elife. 2020 Jan 15;9. doi: 10.7554/eLife.50267.

Somatic copy number alterations (CNAs) are a hallmark of cancer, but their role in tumorigenesis and clinical relevance remain largely unclear. Here, we developed CNApp, a web-based tool that allows a comprehensive exploration of CNAs by using purity-corrected segmented...

CNAPE: A Machine Learning Method for Copy Number Alteration Prediction from Gene Expression.

IEEE/ACM transactions on computational biology and bioinformatics

Mu Q, Wang J.

IEEE/ACM Trans Comput Biol Bioinform. 2021 Jan-Feb;18(1):306-311. doi: 10.1109/TCBB.2019.2944827. Epub 2021 Feb 03.

Detection of DNA copy number alteration in cancer cells is critical to understanding cancer initiation and progression. Widely used methods, such as DNA arrays and genomic DNA sequencing, are relatively expensive and require DNA samples at a microgram level,...

DNA copy number variation: Main characteristics, evolutionary significance, and pathological aspects.

Biomedical journal

Copy number variants (CNVs) were the subject of extensive research in the past years. They are common features of the human genome that play an important role in evolution, contribute to population diversity, development of certain diseases, and influence...

CNVs inform the biological network of Autism spectrum disorder.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a heterogeneous condition linked to an anomalous neurodevelopment. Although the underlying causes of ASD are not well described, literature data strongly suggests a genetic component, with a complex inheritance pattern. It has recently been...
