Project description:A WTCCC2 project genome-wide association study for bacteraemia susceptibility in 4924 individuals from Kenya, genotyped on the Affymetrix 6.0 array.
Project description:A WTCCC2 project genome-wide association study for pre-eclampsia (PA) in 4375 individuals from Colombia, genotyped on the Affymetrix 6.0 array.
Project description:Mutations in the PTH1R gene were reported but these mutations are limited to a small subgroup of patients. The etiology of Ollier disease is unknown. We therefore undertook genome-wide copy number and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 arrays on 37 tumors of 28 Ollier patients in combination with expression array using Illumina Beadarray v3.0 for 7 tumors of 6 patients. We used Affymetrix SNP 6.0 to find out LOH and copy number alterations in Ollier tumors.
Project description:Reports on common mutations in neuroendocrine tumors (NET) are rare and clonality of NET metastases has not been investigated in this tumor entity yet. We selected a NET and a the corresponding lymph node and liver metastases as well as the derivative cell lines to screen for somatic mutations in the primary NET and to track the fate of genetic changes (by Affymetrix SNP 6.0 micorarray and targeted resequencing by 454 GS FLX) and during metastasis and in vitro progression. using Affymetrix SNP 6.0 Arrays.
Project description:A WTCCC2 project genome-wide association study for reading and mathematics ability in 3665 12-year-old individuals from the UK, genotyped on the Affymetrix 6.0 array. Details of the WTCCC2 analysis can be found in Davis et al. [Nat. Commun. 2014 July;5:4204]
Project description:Comparison of Genotyping using pooled DNA samples (Allelotyping) and Individual Genotyping using the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 In this study, data from 100 DNA samples individually genotyped with the Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 were used to estimate the error of the pooling approach by comparing the results with those obtained using the same array type but DNA pools each composed of 50 of the same samples. Newly developed and established methods for signal intensity correction were applied. Furthermore, the relative allele intensity signals (RAS) obtained by allelotyping were compared to the corresponding values derived from individual genotyping. Similarly, differences in RAS values between pools were determined and compared.
