Mitochondrial DNA Haplogroups and Variants Predispose to Chagas Disease Cardiomyopathy
Cardiomyopathies are major causes of heart failure. Chagas disease (CD) is caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, and it is endemic in Central and South America.

Copy Number Variants in Epileptic Encephalopathy
An international group of investigators at University of Washington, Seattle, USA, and various centers in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Israel evaluated 315 patients with epileptic encephalopathies for rare copy number variants (CNVs) using a whole-

Contribution of common and rare variants to bipolar disorder susceptibility in extended pedigrees from population isolates. [PDF]
Current evidence from case/control studies indicates that genetic risk for psychiatric disorders derives primarily from numerous common variants, each with a small phenotypic impact. The literature describing apparent segregation of bipolar disorder (BP)

Copy number variants in locally raised Chinese chicken genomes determined using array comparative genomic hybridization [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Copy number variants contribute to genetic variation in birds. Analyses of copy number variants in chicken breeds had focused primarily on those from commercial varieties with nothing known about the occurrence and diversity of copy number ...

A Review of Copy Number Variants in Inherited Neuropathies [PDF]
The rapid development in the last 10-15 years of microarray technologies, such as oligonucleotide array Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH) and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP) genotyping array, has improved the identification of fine chromosomal structural variants, ranging in length from kilobases (kb) to megabases (Mb), as an important ...

Association testing of copy number variants in schizophrenia and autism spectrum disorders
Background Autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia have been associated with an overlapping set of copy number variant loci, but the nature and degree of overlap in copy number variants (deletions compared to duplications) between these two disorders

Copy Number Variants in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a devastating disease mainly afflicting elderly people, characterized by decreased cognition, loss of memory, and eventually death. Although risk and deterministic genes are known, major genetics research programs are underway to gain further insights into the inheritance of AD.

A hierarchical Bayesian model for inference of copy number variants and their association to gene expression [PDF]
A number of statistical models have been successfully developed for the analysis of high-throughput data from a single source, but few methods are available for integrating data from different sources.
