Diagnosis and treatment of velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) with variable genotypes and phenotypes are considered to be very complicated. Establishing an exact correlation between the phenotypes and genotypes of VCFS is still a challenging. In this paper, 88 Chinese VCFS patients were divided into five groups based on palatal anomalies and one or two of other four common phenotypes, and copy number variations (CNVs) were detected using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA), array comparative genomic hybridization (aCGH) and quantitative polymerase chain reaction. -

DNA Topoisomerases and Cancer Topoisomerases and TOP Genes in Humans Humans Vs
DNA Topoisomerases Review DNA Topoisomerases And Cancer Topoisomerases and TOP Genes in Humans Humans vs. Escherichia Coli Topoisomerase differences Comparisons Topoisomerase and genomes Top 1 Top1 and Top2 differences Relaxation of DNA Top1 DNA supercoiling DNA supercoiling In the context of chromatin, where the rotation of DNA is constrained, DNA supercoiling (over- and under-twisting and writhe) is readily generated. TOP1 and TOP1mt remove supercoiling by DNA untwisting, acting as “swivelases”, whereas TOP2a and TOP2b remove writhe, acting as “writhases” at DNA crossovers (see TOP2 section). Here are some basic facts concerning DNA supercoiling that are relevant to topoisomerase activity: • Positive supercoiling (Sc+) tightens the DNA helix whereas negative supercoiling (Sc-) facilitates the opening of the duplex and the generation of single-stranded segments. • Nucleosome formation and disassembly absorbs and releases Sc-, respectively. • Polymerases generate Sc+ ahead and Sc- behind their tracks. • Excess of Sc+ arrests DNA tracking enzymes (helicases and polymerases), suppresses transcription elongation and initiation, and destabilizes nucleosomes. • Sc- facilitates DNA melting during the initiation of replication and transcription, D-loop formation and homologous recombination and nucleosome formation. • Excess of Sc- favors the formation of alternative DNA structures (R-loops, guanine quadruplexes, right-handed DNA (Z-DNA), plectonemic structures), which then absorb Sc- upon their formation and attract regulatory proteins.

The genetic contribution to human T2D and related metabolic disorders is evident, and mostly follows polygenic inheritance. The TALLYHO/ JngJ (TH) mice are a polygenic model for T2D characterized by obesity, hyperinsulinemia, impaired glucose uptake and tolerance, hyperlipidemia, and hyperglycemia. -
Screening of Copy Number Variants in the 22Q11.2 Region of Congenital
Pires et al. BMC Genetics 2014, 15:115 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2156/15/115 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Screening of copy number variants in the 22q11.2 region of congenital heart disease patients from the São Miguel Island, Azores, revealed the second patient with a triplication Renato Pires1,2, Luís M Pires3†, Sara O Vaz4†, Paula Maciel4, Rui Anjos5, Raquel Moniz1, Claudia C Branco1,2,6, Rita Cabral1, Isabel M Carreira3 and Luisa Mota-Vieira1,2,6* Abstract Background: The rearrangements in the 22q11.2 chromosomal region, responsible for the 22q11.2 deletion and microduplication syndromes, are frequently associated with congenital heart disease (CHD). The present work aimed to identify the genetic basis of CHD in 87 patients from the São Miguel Island, Azores, through the detection of copy number variants (CNVs) in the 22q11.2 region. These structural variants were searched using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA). In patients with CNVs, we additionally performed fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) for the assessment of the exact number of 22q11.2 copies among each chromosome, and array comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH) for the determination of the exact length of CNVs. Results: We found that four patients (4.6%; A to D) carried CNVs. Patients A and D, both affected with a ventricular septal defect, carried a de novo 2.5 Mb deletion of the 22q11.2 region, which was probably originated by inter-chromosomal (inter-chromatid) non-allelic homologous recombination (NAHR) events in the regions containing low-copy repeats (LCRs). Patient C, with an atrial septal defect, carried a de novo 2.5 Mb duplication of 22q11.2 region, which could have been probably generated during gametogenesis by NAHR or by unequal crossing-over; additionally, this patient presented a benign 288 Kb duplication, which included the TOP3B gene inherited from her healthy mother. -

General Description This gene encodes a DNA topoisomerase, an enzyme that controls and alters the topologic states of DNA during transcription. This enzyme catalyzes the transient breaking and rejoining of a single strand of DNA which allows the strands to pass through one another, thus relaxing the supercoils and altering the topology of DNA. The enzyme interacts with DNA helicase SGS1 and plays a role in DNA recombination, cellular aging and maintenance of genome stability. Low expression of this gene may be related to higher survival rates in breast cancer patients. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 22. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. Additional alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their full-length nature is not known. Reagents And Materials Provided Antibody pair set content: 1.

RECQ5-Dependent Sumoylation of DNA Topoisomerase I Prevents Transcription-Associated Genome Instability
ARTICLE Received 20 Aug 2014 | Accepted 23 Feb 2015 | Published 8 Apr 2015 DOI: 10.1038/ncomms7720 RECQ5-dependent SUMOylation of DNA topoisomerase I prevents transcription-associated genome instability Min Li1, Subhash Pokharel1,*, Jiin-Tarng Wang1,*, Xiaohua Xu1,* & Yilun Liu1 DNA topoisomerase I (TOP1) has an important role in maintaining DNA topology by relaxing supercoiled DNA. Here we show that the K391 and K436 residues of TOP1 are SUMOylated by the PIAS1–SRSF1 E3 ligase complex in the chromatin fraction containing active RNA polymerase II (RNAPIIo). This modification is necessary for the binding of TOP1 to RNAPIIo and for the recruitment of RNA splicing factors to the actively transcribed chromatin, thereby reducing the formation of R-loops that lead to genome instability. RECQ5 helicase promotes TOP1 SUMOylation by facilitating the interaction between PIAS1, SRSF1 and TOP1. Unexpectedly, the topoisomerase activity is compromised by K391/K436 SUMOylation, and this provides the first in vivo evidence that TOP1 activity is negatively regulated at transcriptionally active chromatin to prevent TOP1-induced DNA damage. Therefore, our data provide mechanistic insight into how TOP1 SUMOylation contributes to genome maintenance during transcription. 1 Department of Radiation Biology, Beckman Research Institute, City of Hope, Duarte, California 91010-3000, USA. * These authors contributed equally to this work.

Gene Ontology Functional Annotations and Pleiotropy
Network based analysis of genetic disease associations Sarah Gilman Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2014 © 2013 Sarah Gilman All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Network based analysis of genetic disease associations Sarah Gilman Despite extensive efforts and many promising early findings, genome-wide association studies have explained only a small fraction of the genetic factors contributing to common human diseases. There are many theories about where this “missing heritability” might lie, but increasingly the prevailing view is that common variants, the target of GWAS, are not solely responsible for susceptibility to common diseases and a substantial portion of human disease risk will be found among rare variants. Relatively new, such variants have not been subject to purifying selection, and therefore may be particularly pertinent for neuropsychiatric disorders and other diseases with greatly reduced fecundity. Recently, several researchers have made great progress towards uncovering the genetics behind autism and schizophrenia. By sequencing families, they have found hundreds of de novo variants occurring only in affected individuals, both large structural copy number variants and single nucleotide variants. Despite studying large cohorts there has been little recurrence among the genes implicated suggesting that many hundreds of genes may underlie these complex phenotypes. The question
