Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) analysis is an effective tool for the detection of novel intragenic PLA2G6 mutations: Implications for molecular diagnosis [PDF]
Phospholipase associated neurodegeneration (PLAN) comprises a heterogeneous group of autosomal recessive neurological disorders caused by mutations in the PLA2G6 gene. Direct gene sequencing detects 85% mutations in infantile neuroaxonal dystrophy.

Genomic characteristics of miscarriage copy number variants [PDF]
Studies of copy number variants (CNVs) in miscarriages are rare in comparison to post-natal cases with developmental abnormalities. The overall characteristics of miscarriage CNVs (size, gene content and function) are therefore largely unexplored. Our goal was to assess and compare the characteristics of CNVs identified in 101 euploid miscarriages from

Deep coverage whole genome sequences and plasma lipoprotein(a) in individuals of European and African ancestries. [PDF]
Lipoprotein(a), Lp(a), is a modified low-density lipoprotein particle that contains apolipoprotein(a), encoded by LPA, and is a highly heritable, causal risk factor for cardiovascular diseases that varies in concentrations across ancestries. Here, we use

Copy number variants in patients with short stature [PDF]
Height is a highly heritable and classic polygenic trait. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed that at least 180 genetic variants influence adult height. However, these variants explain only about 10% of the phenotypic variation in height.

ClassifyCNV: a tool for clinical annotation of copy-number variants
Copy-number variants (CNVs) are an important part of human genetic variation. They can be benign or can play a role in human disease by creating dosage imbalances and disrupting genes and regulatory elements.

Stochastic Gene Expression in Single Gene Oscillator Variants [PDF]
It is infeasible to understand all dynamics in cell, but we can aim to understand the impact of design choices under our control. Here we consider a single gene oscillator as a case study to understand the influence of DNA copy number and repressor ...

Using GWAS Data to Identify Copy Number Variants Contributing to Common Complex Diseases
Copy number variants (CNVs) account for more polymorphic base pairs in the human genome than do single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). CNVs encompass genes as well as noncoding DNA, making these polymorphisms good candidates for functional variation ...

Product line architecture recovery with outlier filtering in software families: the Apo-Games case study [PDF]
Software product line (SPL) approach has been widely adopted to achieve systematic reuse in families of software products. Despite its benefits, developing an SPL from scratch requires high up-front investment.
