TL;DR: It is shown that large-scale copy number polymorphisms (CNPs) (about 100 kilobases and greater) contribute substantially to genomic variation between normal humans.

Abstract: The extent to which large duplications and deletions contribute to human genetic variation and diversity is unknown. Here, we show that large-scale copy number polymorphisms (CNPs) (about 100 kilobases and greater) contribute substantially to genomic variation between normal humans. Representational oligonucleotide microarray analysis of 20 individuals revealed a total of 221 copy number differences representing 76 unique CNPs. On average, individuals differed by 11 CNPs, and the average length of a CNP interval was 465 kilobases. We observed copy number variation of 70 different genes within CNP intervals, including genes involved in neurological function, regulation of cell growth, regulation of metabolism, and several genes known to be associated with disease.

TL;DR: The results suggest that SNPs in the upstream region of LIM may confer the genetic risk for bipolar disorder.

Interrogation of genomes by molecular copy-number counting (MCC)
Angelika Daser,Angelika Daser,Madan Thangavelu,Richard Pannell,Alan Forster,Louise Sparrow,Grace Tin-Yun Chung,Grace Tin-Yun Chung,Paul H. Dear,Terence H. Rabbitts +9 more
TL;DR: Thangavelu et al. as discussed by the authors developed a simple method to precisely delineate such regions with known or cryptic genomic alterations, using PCR to interrogate miniscule amounts of genomic DNA and allowing progressive delineation of DNA content to within a few hundred base pairs of a genomic alteration.

Nucleic Acid-Sensing TLRs as Modifiers of Autoimmunity
Jonathan A. Deane,Silvia Bolland +1 more
TL;DR: This review focuses on the ways that TLR function might contribute to the etiology of lupus-like syndromes in the context of an autoimmune-prone environment and discusses several ways that innate immunity can play a role in the development of systemic autoimmunity.
Understanding aneuploidy in cancer through the lens of system inheritance, fuzzy inheritance and emergence of new genome systems
TL;DR: Based on the fact that cancer typically represents a complex adaptive system, where there is no linear relationship between lower-level agents and emergent properties, a new strategy based on the evolutionary mechanism of aneuploidy in cancer is called for rather than continuous analysis of various individual molecular mechanisms.

TL;DR: The relationship between FCGRT polymorphisms (VNTR and CNV) and PK parameters of patients treated with cetuximab was studied and no affects of VNTR genotype on elimination clearance were observed.

Cloning the differences between two complex genomes.
TL;DR: The analysis of the differences between two complex genomes holds promise for the discovery of infectious agents and probes useful for genetic studies, and may also be used for isolating probes linked to sites of genomic rearrangements.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that failure to recognize the molecular duplication can lead to misinterpretation of marker genotypes for affected individuals, identification of false recombinants, and incorrect localization of the disease locus.

TL;DR: The HNPP locus is assigned to chromosome 17p11.2 and the presence of a large interstitial deletion associated with this disorder is demonstrated in three unrelated pedigrees, suggesting that these genetic disorders may be the result of reciprocal products of unequal crossover.

Cohen Syndrome Is Caused by Mutations in a Novel Gene, COH1, Encoding a Transmembrane Protein with a Presumed Role in Vesicle-Mediated Sorting and Intracellular Protein Transport

TL;DR: Homology to the Saccharomyces cerevisiae VPS13 protein suggests a role for COH1 in vesicle-mediated sorting and transport of proteins within the cell, and refined the critical region on chromosome 8q22 by haplotype analysis, reports the characterization of a novel gene,COH1, that is mutated in patients with Cohen syndrome.

Extensive Normal Copy Number Variation of a β-Defensin Antimicrobial-Gene Cluster
TL;DR: It is shown that a cluster of at least three antimicrobial beta-defensin genes (DEFB4, DEFB103, and DEFB104) at 8p23.1 are polymorphic in copy number, with a repeat unit >/=240 kb long, which is likely to have important consequences for immune system function.
