Project description:The aim of this study is to discover loss of specific miRNA loci in Wilms' tumors using array CGH. Custom arrays were designed based on the Agilent 2x105K Human Whole Genome Genomic microarray with Agilent’s eArray program (https://earray.chem.agilent.com/earray/), with additional probes that cover all miRNA regions (200 bps before, within and after each miRNA from miRBase v13, with each probe in triplicates to enhance the reliability). All custom-designed probes were designed in UCSC hg18. Probes from Agilent’s database were lifted-over from hg19 to hg18 (LiftOver tool: http://genome.ucsc.edu). The Agilent 2x105K custom-design whole genome microarray was used to analyze genomic alterations in Wilms' tumor samples compared to normal human genomic DNA (Promega p/n G1523).

Project description:Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most frequent leukemia in Western countries. The main genetic alterations associated to this disease are loss of 13q14, loss of 11q23, trisomy 12 and, less frequently, 17p13 losses, and are routinely studied using fluorescence in situ hybridization. These genomic aberrations have been demonstrated to be important independent predictors of disease progression in CLL and their detection currently has a direct implication in the treatment strategy of the patients. It has been widely demonstrated that array-based karyotyping clearly detects DNA gains and losses and allows the identification of CLL abnormalities not included in the standard FISH panel. We have here established and tested an oligonucleotide-based array platform for the diagnosis of CLL that interrogates the most relevant chromosomal regions related with the disease and may help in the differential diagnosis between CLL and other small B-cell leukemias and may be used as a powerful prognosis tool to stratify the CLL patients. Copy number analysis using Custom Agilent 60K was performed on 47 chronic lymphocytic Leukemia patients with sex-matched control DNAs

Project description:To investigate the cytogenetic and large-scale chromosomal changes in involuted or non-involuted microGISTs using post-whole genome amplification (WGA) FFPE DNA materials Sixteen patients, total 19 FFPE tumor samples (block storage time 4 months to 9 years), including 16 microGISTs and 3 GISTs larger than 1 cm from the same patients harboring microGISTs. All FFPE tumor samples underwent DNA extraction and WGA (modified degenerate oligonucleotide PCR (DOP) method, provided by Sigma). For each tumor sample, a post-WGA DNA extract from the normal tissue in the same block (or block from the same patient with a block storage time differences less than 2 years) was obtained for tumor sample DNA co-hybridization. Tumor and normal areas of interest were marked and collected from 5- to 10-micron unstained or hematoxylin-stained sections by manual or laser (PixCell IITM, Arcturus Bioscience, CA, USA) microdissection. DNAs were then extracted. WGA was performed using GenomePlex® Tissue Whole Genome Amplification WGA5 kit (Sigma, Saint Louis, MO, USA; http://www.sigmaaldrich.com/) in parallel in accordance with the manufacturer's protocols. At least four independent experiments were concurrently performed per template amplification. Four separate WGA reaction products were pooled for each sample.

Project description:Cyclin D1-negative mantle cell lymphomas (MCL) are not well characterized, in part due to the difficulties in their recognition. SOX11 has been recently identified as a reliable biomarker of MCL, also expressed in the cyclin D1-negative variant. We investigated 40 lymphomas with MCL morphology and immunophenotype, negative for cyclin D1 expression/t(11;14)(q13;q32) but SOX11-positive. These tumors presented clinically with generalized lymphadenopathy, advanced stage, and had a poor outcome (5-year overall survival 48%). Chromosomal rearrangements of the CCND2 locus were detected in 55% of the cases, with an IG gene as partner in 18/22 cases, in particular with light chains (10 IGK@, 5 IGL@). No mutations in the phosphorylation motifs of CCND1, CCND2 and CCND3 were detected. The global genomic profile and the high complexity of the 32 cyclin D1-negative SOX11-positive MCL analyzed by copy number arrays were similar to the conventional cyclin D1/SOX11-positive MCL. 17p deletions and high Ki67 expression conferred a significantly worse outcome to the patients. This comprehensive characterization of a large series of cyclin D1-negative MCL indicates that these tumors are clinically and biologically similar to the conventional cyclin D1-positive MCL and provides a basis for the proper identification and clinical management of these patients. Copy number analysis of Agilent 1*1M arrays was performed for 27 MCL, with sex-matched control DNAs and without duplicates or dye-swapt.

Project description:Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a complex disorder thought to result from an interaction between environmental and genetic predisposing factors which have not yet been characterised, although it is known to be associated with the HLA region on 6p21.32. Recently, a picture of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI), consequent to stenosing venous malformation of the main extra-cranial outflow routes (VM), has been described in patients affected with MS, introducing an additional phenotype with possible pathogenic significance. Methods: In order to explore the presence of copy number variations (CNVs) within the HLA locus, a custom CGH array was designed to cover 7 Mb of the HLA locus region (6,899,999bp; chr6:29,900,001-36,800,000). Genomic DNA of the 15 patients with CCSVI/VM and MS was hybridised in duplicate. Results: In total, 322 CNVs, of which 225 were extragenic and 97 intragenic, were identified in 15 patients. 234 known polymorphic CNVs were detected, the majority of these being situated in non-coding or extragenic regions. The overall number of CNVs (both extra- and intragenic) showed a robust and significant correlation with the number of stenosing VMs (Spearman: r=0.6590, p=0.0104; linear regression analysis r=0.6577, p=0.0106). The region we analysed contains 211 known genes. By using pathway analysis focused on angiogenesis and venous development, MS, and immunity, we tentatively highlight several genes as possible susceptibility factor candidates involved in this peculiar phenotype. Conclusions: The CNVs contained in the HLA locus region in patients with the novel phenotype of CCSVI/VM and MS were mapped in detail, demonstrating a significant correlation between the number of known CNVs found in the HLA region and the number of CCSVI-VMs identified in patients. Pathway analysis revealed common routes of interaction of several of the genes involved in angiogenesis and immunity contained within this region. Despite the small sample size in this pilot study, it does suggest that the number of multiple polymorphic CNVs in the HLA locus deserves further study, owing to their possible involvement in susceptibility to this novel MS/VM plus phenotype, and perhaps even other types of the disease. 8 female and 7 male MS patients

Project description:To determine the involvement of Copy Number Variants (CNVs) in the origin of male infertility, patients with idiopathic severe oligozoospermia, Sertoli-cell-only syndrome and controls with normozoospermia were analysed by array CGH using the 244A/400K array sets (Agilent Technologies). Comparison of 89 infertile male patients with severe oligozoospermia (≤5 x Mill./ml sperm concentration and ≤10 Mill. total sperm count) and 37 with azoospermia due to complete, bilateral Sertoli-cell-only syndrome (SCOS) with 100 healthy controls with normal semen parameters (≥20 Mill./ml sperm concentration, ≥40 Mill. total sperm count, ≥2 ml semen volume, ≥50% of a+b or ≥25% a motility, high percentage of normal forms (≥10%)). Patients with recurring, patient-specific and mostly private, sex-chromosomal CNVs (29 with OAT and 17 with SCOS) are reported as possibly causing spermatogenic failure.

Project description:Molecular characterization of collagen-VI related myopathies currently relies on standard sequencing, which yields a detection rate approximating 75-79% in Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) and 60-65% in Bethlem myopathy (BM) patients as PCR-based techniques tend to miss gross genomic rearrangements as well as copy number variations (CNVs) in both the coding sequence and intronic regions. We have designed a custom oligonucleotide CGH array in order to investigate the presence of CNVs in the coding and non-coding regions of COL6A1, A2, A3, A5 and A6 genes and a group of genes functionally related to collagen VI. A cohort of 12 patients with UCMD/BM negative at sequencing analysis and 2 subjects carrying a single COL6 mutation whose clinical phenotype was not explicable by inheritance were selected and the occurrence of allelic and genetic heterogeneity explored. A deletion within intron 1A of the COL6A2 gene, occurring in compound heterozygosity with a small deletion in exon 28, previously detected by routine sequencing, was identified in a BM patient. RNA studies showed monoallelic transcription of the COL6A2 gene, thus elucidating the functional effect of the intronic deletion. No pathogenic mutations were identified in the remaining analyzed patients, either within COL6A genes, or in genes functionally related to collagen VI. Our custom CGH array may represent a useful complementary diagnostic tool, especially in recessive forms of the disease, when only one mutant allele is detected by standard sequencing. The intronic deletion we identified represents the first example of a pure intronic mutation in COL6A genes. Comparative Genomic Hybridization experiment. Experimental Replicates: twice
