Genes in a Refined Smith-Magenis Syndrome Critical Deletion Interval on Chromosome 17P11.2 and the Syntenic Region of the Mouse
Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on September 25, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Article Genes in a Refined Smith-Magenis Syndrome Critical Deletion Interval on Chromosome 17p11.2 and the Syntenic Region of the Mouse Weimin Bi,1,6 Jiong Yan,1,6 Paweł Stankiewicz,1 Sung-Sup Park,1,7 Katherina Walz,1 Cornelius F.

Most patients have the same ∼4 Mb interstitial genomic deletion within chromosome 17p11.2. To investigate the molecular bases of the SMS phenotype, we constructed BAC/PAC contigs covering the SMS common deletion interval and its syntenic region on mouse chromosome 11. Comparative genome analysis reveals the absence of all three ∼200-kb SMS-REP low-copy repeats in the mouse and indicates that the evolution of SMS-REPs was accompanied by transposition of adjacent genes. Physical and genetic map comparisons in humans reveal reduced recombination in both sexes. Moreover, by examining the deleted regions in SMS patients with unusual-sized deletions, we refined the minimal Smith-Magenis critical region (SMCR) to an ∼1.1-Mb genomic interval that is syntenic to an ∼1.0-Mb region in the mouse. -
Comparison of Orthologs Across Multiple Species by Various Strategies
COMPARISON OF ORTHOLOGS ACROSS MULTIPLE SPECIES BY VARIOUS STRATEGIES BY HUI LIU DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Biophysics and Computational Biology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Eric Jakobsson, Chair, Director of Research Professor Gene E. Robinson Associate Professor Saurabh Sinha Assistant Professor Jian Ma Abstract Thanks to the improvement of genome sequencing technology, abundant multi-species genomic data now became available and comparative genomics continues to be a fast prospering filed of biological research. Through the comparison of genomes of different organisms, we can understand what, at the molecular level, distinguishes different life forms from each other. It shed light on revealing the evolution of biology. And it also helps to refine the annotations and functions of individual genomes. For example, through comparisons across mammalian genomes, we can give an estimate of the conserved set of genes across mammals and correspondingly, find the species-specific sets of genes or functions. However, comparative genomics can be feasible only if a meaningful classification of genes exists. A natural way to do so is to delineate sets of orthologous genes. However, debates exist about the appropriate way to define orthologs. It is originally defined as genes in different species which derive from speciation events. But such definition is not sufficient to derive orthologous genes due to the complexity of evolutionary events such as gene duplication and gene loss. While it is possible to correctly figure out all the evolutionary events with the true phylogenetic tree, the true phylogenetic tree itself is impractical to be inferred. -
Genomic Organization of the Approximately 1.5 Mb Smith
European Journal of Human Genetics (2001) 9, 892 ± 902 ã 2001 Nature Publishing Group All rights reserved 1018-4813/01 $15.00 www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Genomic organisation of the ~1.5 Mb Smith-Magenis syndrome critical interval: Transcription map, genomic contig, and candidate gene analysis Rebecca E Lucas1, Christopher N Vlangos1, Parimal Das4, Pragna I Patel4 and Sarah H Elsea*,1,2,3 1Genetics Graduate Program, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, MI 48824, USA; 2Department of Zoology, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, MI 48824, USA; 3Department of Pediatrics and Human Development, Michigan State University, East Lansing, Michigan, MI 48824, USA; 4Department of Neurology, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas, TX 77030, USA Smith-Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation syndrome associated with an interstitial deletion of chromosome 17 involving band p11.2. SMS is hypothesised to be a contiguous gene syndrome in which the phenotype arises from the haploinsufficiency of multiple, functionally-unrelated genes in close physical proximity, although the true molecular basis of SMS is not yet known. In this study, we have generated the first overlapping and contiguous transcription map of the SMS critical interval, linking the proximal 17p11.2 region near the SMS-REPM and the distal region near D17S740 in a minimum tiling path of 16 BACs and two PACs. Additional clones provide greater coverage throughout the critical region. Not including the repetitive sequences that flank the critical interval, the map is comprised of 13 known genes, 14 ESTs, and six genomic markers, and is a synthesis of Southern hybridisation and polymerase chain reaction data from gene and marker localisation to BACs and PACs and database sequence analysis from the human genome project high-throughput draft sequence. -

The diversity and rate of this process, however, has not been extensively explored among the great ape lineages. We analyzed 97 deeply sequenced great ape and human genomes and estimate that 16% (469 Mbp) of the hominid genome has been affected by recent copy number changes. -

Cisplatin Treatment of Testicular Cancer Patients Introduces Long-Term Changes in the Epigenome Cecilie Bucher-Johannessen1, Christian M
Bucher-Johannessen et al. Clinical Epigenetics (2019) 11:179 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13148-019-0764-4 RESEARCH Open Access Cisplatin treatment of testicular cancer patients introduces long-term changes in the epigenome Cecilie Bucher-Johannessen1, Christian M. Page2,3, Trine B. Haugen4 , Marcin W. Wojewodzic1, Sophie D. Fosså1,5,6, Tom Grotmol1, Hege S. Haugnes7,8† and Trine B. Rounge1,9*† Abstract Background: Cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CBCT) is part of standard treatment of several cancers. In testicular cancer (TC) survivors, an increased risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) is observed. In this epigenome- wide association study, we investigated if CBCT relates to epigenetic changes (DNA methylation) and if epigenetic changes render individuals susceptible for developing MetS later in life. We analyzed methylation profiles, using the MethylationEPIC BeadChip, in samples collected ~ 16 years after treatment from 279 Norwegian TC survivors with known MetS status. Among the CBCT treated (n = 176) and non-treated (n = 103), 61 and 34 developed MetS, respectively. We used two linear regression models to identify if (i) CBCT results in epigenetic changes and (ii) epigenetic changes play a role in development of MetS. Then we investigated if these changes in (i) and (ii) links to genes, functional networks, and pathways related to MetS symptoms. Results: We identified 35 sites that were differentially methylated when comparing CBCT treated and untreated TC survivors. The PTK6–RAS–MAPk pathway was significantly enriched with these sites and infers a gene network of 13 genes with CACNA1D (involved in insulin release) as a network hub. We found nominal MetS-associations and a functional gene network with ABCG1 and NCF2 as network hubs. -

In addition, we observed strong heritability for several of these skeletal phenotypes in the HS rat model, suggesting that it represents a unique genetic resource for dissecting the complex genetics underlying bone fragility. The purpose of this study was to identify and localize genes associated with bone mineral density in HS rats. We measured bone phenotypes from 1524 adult male and female HS rats between 17 to 20 weeks of age. Phenotypes included DXA measurements for bone mineral content and areal bone mineral density for femur and lumbar spine (L3-5), and volumetric BMD measurements by CT for the midshaft and distal femur, femur neck and 5th lumbar vertebra. -

Gutachter Prof. Dr. Martin Vingron 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Peter N. Robinson 3. Gutachter: Christopher J. Mungall, Ph.D. Tag der Disputation: 16.05.2013 Preface This thesis presents research work on novel computational approaches to investigate and characterise the association between genes and pheno- typic abnormalities. It demonstrates methods for organisation, integra- tion, and mining of phenotype data in the field of genetics, with special application to human genetics. Here I will describe the parts of this the- sis that have been published in peer-reviewed journals. Often in modern science different people from different institutions contribute to research projects. The same is true for this thesis, and thus I will itemise who was responsible for specific sub-projects. In chapter 2, a new method for associating genes to phenotypes by means of protein-protein-interaction networks is described. I present a strategy to organise disease data and show how this can be used to link diseases to the corresponding genes. I show that global network distance measure in interaction networks of proteins is well suited for investigat- ing genotype-phenotype associations. This work has been published in 2008 in the American Journal of Human Genetics. My contribution here was to plan the project, implement the software, and finally test and evaluate the method on human genetics data; the implementation part was done in close collaboration with Sebastian Bauer. -
