Abstract

cDNA microarray-based CGH (Microarray-CGH) is a useful technique for detecting genomic aberrations with a high resolution. However, the criteria for determining a genomic alteration have not been determined. We evaluated the genome-wide measurement of copy number of each gene in normal gastric and placenta tissues with both sex-matched, direct and sex-mismatched, indirect designs using 17K cDNA microarray. The results revealed the range of genomic copy number of normal tissues to be +/-0.3 of the log(2) ratio (gain >0.3, loss <-0.3) in the autosomal genes with direct and indirect designs. The copy number at a gene level from the X chromosomal genes using the direct and indirect sex-mismatched designs was +/-0.68 of the log(2) ratio (amplification >0.68, deletion <-0.68). In summary, the suggested method can be used as a guideline for analysis of genomic aberration using a Microarray-CGH in both direct and indirect designs.

Genomewide linkage scan for obsessive-compulsive disorder: evidence for susceptibility loci on chromosomes 3q, 7p, 1q, 15q, and 6q.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is the tenth most disabling medical condition worldwide. Twin and family studies implicate a genetic etiology for this disorder, although specific genes have yet to be identified. Here, we present the first large-scale model-free linkage analysis of both extended and nuclear families using both 'broad' (definite and probable diagnoses) and 'narrow' (definite only) definitions of OCD. We conducted a genome-scan analysis of 219 families collected as part of the OCD Collaborative Genetics Study. Suggestive linkage signals were revealed by multipoint analysis on chromosomes 3q27-28 (P=0.0003), 6q (P=0.003), 7p (P=0.001), 1q (P=0.003), and 15q (P=0.006). Using the 'broad' OCD definition, we observed the strongest evidence for linkage on chromosome 3q27-28. The maximum overall Kong and Cox LODall score (2.67) occurred at D3S1262 and D3S2398, and simulation based P-values for these two signals were 0.0003 and 0.0004, respectively, although for both signals, the simulation-based genome-wide significance levels were 0.055. Covariate-linkage analyses implicated a possible role of gene(s) on chromosome 1 in increasing the risk for an earlier onset form of OCD. We are currently pursuing fine mapping in the five regions giving suggestive signals, with a particular focus on 3q27-28. Given probable etiologic heterogeneity in OCD, mapping gene(s) involved in the disorder may be enhanced by replication studies, large-scale family-based linkage studies, and the application of novel statistical methods.

Comparison of linkage disequilibrium patterns between the HapMap CEPH samples and a family-based cohort of Northern European descent.

The International HapMap Consortium has determined the linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns of four major human populations. The aim of our investigation was to compare the LD patterns of the HapMap CEPH (Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain) samples with a family-based cohort of similar ancestry to determine its usefulness as a reference population for disease association studies. We examined four genomic regions on chromosomes 7q, 12p, and 14q totaling 14.3 Mb, initially identified in our linkage study of obesity and the metabolic syndrome. Near identical patterns of LD were detected in both populations. Furthermore, tagSNPs selected based on the HapMap CEPH cohort data capture over 98% of the variants at an r2 > 0.8 in the disease cohort. This confirms the usefulness of the CEPH cohort of the HapMap as a reference sample for further investigations into the genomic variation of populations of Northern European descent.

Sucrose concentration influences the rate of human oocytes with normal spindle and chromosome configurations after slow-cooling cryopreservation.

BACKGROUND: Recently described slow-cooling cryopreservation protocols involving elevated sucrose concentration have improved survival frequencies of human oocytes, potentially overcoming a major hurdle that has limited the adoption of oocyte storage. Because implantation rates of embryos from frozen oocytes remain generally low, it is still debated whether, irrespective of survival rates, this form of cryopreservation leads inevitably to the disruption or complete loss of the metaphase II (MII) spindle. METHODS: Human oocytes with an extruded polar body I (PBI) were cryopreserved using a slow-cooling method including 1.5 mol/l propane-1,2-diol (PrOH) and alternative sucrose concentrations (either 0.1 or 0.3 mol/l) in the freezing solution. Fresh control and frozen-thawed survived oocytes were analysed by confocal microscopy to evaluate MII spindle and chromosome organizations. RESULTS: Of the 104 oocytes included in the unfrozen group, 76 (73.1%) displayed normal bipolar spindles with equatorially aligned chromosomes. Spindle and chromatin organizations were significantly affected (50.8%) after cryopreservation involving lower sucrose concentration (61 oocytes), whereas these parameters were unchanged (69.7%) using the 0.3 mol/l sucrose protocol (152 oocytes). CONCLUSIONS: Partial disruption of the MII spindle and associated chromosomes accompanies inadequate cryopreservation during slow cooling. However, protocols adopting higher sucrose concentration in the freezing solution promote the retention of an intact chromosome segregation apparatus comparable in incidence to freshly collected oocytes.
