    Heterogeneous Contribution of Microdeletions in the Development of Common Generalized and Focal epilepsies. SUPPLEMENTARY METHODS Epilepsy subtype extended description. Genetic Gereralized Epilepsy (GGE): Features unprovoked tonic and/or clonic seizures, originated inconsistently at some focal point within the brain that rapidly generalizes engaging bilateral distributed spikes and waves discharges on the electroencephalogram. This generalization can include cortical and sub cortical structures but not necessarily the entire cortex[1]. GGE is the most common group of epilepsies accounting for 20% of all cases[2]. It is characterized by an age-related onset and a strong familial aggregation and heritability which allows the assumption of a genetic cause. Although genetic associations have been identified, a broad spectrum of causes is acknowledged and remains largely unsolved [3]. Rolandic Epilepsy (RE): Commonly known also as Benign Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (BECTS), hallmarks early onset diagnosis (mean onset = 7 years old) with brief, focal hemifacial or oropharyngeal sensorimotor seizures alongside speech arrest and secondarily generalized tonic– clonic seizures, which mainly occur during sleep[4]. Rolandic epilepsy features a broad spectrum of less benign related syndromes called atypical Rolandic epilepsy (ARE), including benign partial epilepsy (ABPE), Landau–Kleffner syndrome(LKS) and epileptic encephalopathy with continuous spike-and-waves during sleep (CSWSS)[5]. Together they are the most common childhood epilepsy with a prevalence of 0.2–0.73/1000 (i.e. _1/2500)[6]. Adult Focal Epilepsy (AFE). Focal epilepsy is characterized by sporadic events of seizures originated within a specific brain region and restricted to one hemisphere. Although they can exhibit more than one network of wave discharges on the electroencephalogram, and different degrees of spreading, they feature a consistent site of origin.

    Efficient algorithms to discover alterations with complementary functional association in cancer Rebecca Sarto Basso1, Dorit S. Hochbaum1, Fabio Vandin2,3,4* 1 Department of Industrial Engineering and Operations Research, University of California at Berkeley, CA, USA. 2 Department of Information Engineering, University of Padova, Padova, Italy. 3 Department of Computer Science, Brown University, Providence, RI, USA. 4 Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Southern Denmark, Odense, Denmark. * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract Recent large cancer studies have measured somatic alterations in an unprecedented number of tumours. These large datasets allow the identification of cancer-related sets of genetic alterations by identifying relevant combinatorial patterns. Among such patterns, mutual exclusivity has been employed by several recent methods that have shown its effectivenes in characterizing gene sets associated to cancer. Mutual exclusivity arises because of the complementarity, at the functional level, of alterations in genes which are part of a group (e.g., a pathway) performing a given function. The availability of quantitative target profiles, from genetic perturbations or from clinical phenotypes, provides additional information that can be leveraged to improve the identification of cancer related gene sets by discovering groups with complementary functional associations with such targets. In this work we study the problem of finding groups of mutually exclusive alterations associated with a quantitative (functional) target. We propose a combinatorial formulation for the problem, and prove that the associated computation problem is computationally hard. We design two algorithms to solve the problem and implement them in our tool UNCOVER. We provide analytic evidence of the effectiveness of UNCOVER in finding high-quality solutions and show experimentally that UNCOVER finds sets of alterations significantly associated with functional targets in a variety of scenarios.

Background: This study aims to analyze the differential expression profiles of lncRNA in Keshan disease (KSD) and to explore the molecular mechanism of the disease occurrence and development. Methods: RNA-seq technology was used to construct the lncRNA/mRNA expression library of a KSD group (n=10) and a control group (n=10), and then Cuffdiff software was used to obtain the gene lncRNA/ mRNA FPKM value as the expression profile of lncRNA/mRNA. The fold changes between the two sets of samples were calculated to obtain differential lncRNA/mRNA expression profiles, and a bioinformatics analysis of differentially expressed genes was performed. Results: A total of 89,905 lncRNAs and 20,315 mRNAs were detected.

Abstract Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) is a complex hereditary disorder; larger pedigree analysis of POAG positive family history has led to the discovery of many candidate genes associated with disease pathogenesis. However, only 5-6% of POAG can explain these genetic factors.

  • Genetic Variants Affecting Equivalent Protein Family Positions Reflect
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Genetic variants afecting equivalent protein family positions refect human diversity Received: 13 January 2017 Francesco Raimondi1,2, Matthew J. Betts1,2, Qianhao Lu1,2, Asuka Inoue3,4, J. Silvio Gutkind5 & Accepted: 13 September 2017 Robert B. Russell 1,2 Published: xx xx xxxx Members of diverse protein families often perform overlapping or redundant functions meaning that diferent variations within them could refect diferences between individual organisms. We investigated likely functional positions within aligned protein families that contained a signifcant enrichment of nonsynonymous variants in genomes of healthy individuals. We identifed more than a thousand enriched positions across hundreds of family alignments with roles indicative of mammalian individuality, including sensory perception and the immune system. The most signifcant position is the Arginine from the Olfactory receptor “DRY” motif, which has more variants in healthy individuals than all other positions in the proteome. Odorant binding data suggests that these variants lead to receptor inactivity, and they are mostly mutually exclusive with other loss-of-function (stop/frameshift) variants. Some DRY Arginine variants correlate with smell preferences in sub-populations and all 2,504 humans studied contain a unique spectrum of active and inactive receptors. The many other variant enriched positions, across hundreds of other families might also provide insights into individual diferences. Genomes from healthy individuals1 illuminate both diseases2 and attributes of individuals or human popula- tions3,4. Perhaps the most common current use of these genomes is to provide background mutation rates to assess candidate disease mutations or to identify likely deleterious genetic alterations5,6. For example, ExAC6 is frequently used by human geneticists to determine variant frequency during searches for disease causing mutations.
