Project description:Tacrolimus (TAC) is an immunosuppressant widely used in kidney transplantation. TAC displays considerable inter-individual variability in pharmacokinetics (PK). Genetic and clinical factors play important roles in TAC PK. To define genetic factors associated with tacrolimus blood trough concentration, we performed a genome-wide association study of renal transplant samples from 251 Chinese renal transplant recipients. We identified 23 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to TAC PK variability. All 23 genome-wide significant SNPs (p<5E-8) were located on chromosome 7, including rs776746. These findings suggest that these SNPs may be associated with the unexlained TAC PK variability in renal transplant recipients and require further investigation.
Project description:Data includes all available Affymetrix SNP data from a cohort of Pediatric malignant glioma samples, isolated from Formalin-fixed Paraffin embedded tissue. No clinical data is available.
Project description:Ovarian development and maintenance are poorly understood, but diseases affecting them can offer insights into their underlying mechanisms. XX-female gonadal dysgenesis (XX-GD) is a rare, genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by underdeveloped, dysfunctional ovaries with subsequent lack of spontaneous pubertal development, primary amenorrhea, uterine hypoplasia, and hypergonadotropic hypogonadism. We used SNP arrays to perform homozygosity mapping in order to detect informative genomic regions which are homozygous and shared among affected individuals. This analysis identified genomic regions in which the mutated gene causing the XX-GD phenotype in the affected individuals may reside. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from peripheral blood samples.
Project description:Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from fresh frozen tissues. To obtain a profile of copy number alterations in RMS, we studied 65 samples in 60 RMS cases. Other data of 38 samples are deposited in GSE41263: GSM1528059 GSM1528057 GSM1528061 GSM1528058 GSM1528054 GSM1528060 GSM1012723 GSM1012722 GSM1012746 GSM1528055 GSM1528056 GSM1530028 GSM1012751 GSM1012724 GSM1012726 GSM1012747 GSM1012725 GSM1012716 GSM1012735 GSM1012713 GSM1012736 GSM1012737 GSM1012738 GSM1012730 GSM1012739 GSM1012740 GSM1012750 GSM1012717 GSM1012718 GSM1012719 GSM1012741 GSM1012732 GSM1012715 GSM1012720 GSM1012742 GSM1012721 GSM1012743 GSM1012744
Project description:Deep characterization of a large series of splenic diffuse red pulp lymphomas DNA from 5 tumor samples, corresponding to 4 cases, were analyzed with Affymetrix SNP 6.0 platform for copy number alteration study.
Project description:Genome-wide profiling of Copy Number Alterations (CNA) and Loss of Heterozygosity (LOH), gene expression and resequencing of pediatric AML. This study characterizes the CNA and LOH in a representative cross-section through subtypes of pediatric AML. Affymetrix SNP arrays were performed according to the manufacturer's directions on DNA extracted from cryopreserved diagnostic bone marrow or peripheral blood samples.
