  • They found that a person's copy number relative to the population average matters more than absolute gene dosage. (the-scientist.com)
  • The contribution of CCL3L1 gene dosage could be teased apart from that of the noncopy-dependent variant of CCR5, already known to confer some resistance to HIV infection and HIV progression. (the-scientist.com)
  • Genes responsible for hereditary hearing loss are highly heterogeneous. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Genomic profiling in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma and a pathway towards therapy individualization: A scoping review. (cdc.gov)
  • Both the GU abnormalities and the development of a Wilms tumor in patients with WAGR syndrome are related to the loss of WT1 gene function. (medscape.com)
  • The massive efforts to systematically find and catalog single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) bear witness to the conviction that small genomic changes may provide clues to the origins of such things as heart problems, obesity, and pharmacologic responses. (the-scientist.com)
  • CGH = comparative genomic hybridization to determine copy number differences. (columbia.edu)
  • In essence, relative ratios of copy number between two DNA samples are obtained by comparing the two fluorescent signal intensities for each probe under the assumption that intensities reflect the amount of corresponding genomic DNA in the respective sample. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Studies of multi-gene panels by Myriad, Ambry, InVitae, and others suggest the panels increase the diagnostic yield by about 10 percent over more targeted tests, but these tests also have higher rates of VUS and find markers not included in clinical guidelines. (genomeweb.com)
