Precise and reliable identification of CNV is still important to fully understand the effect of CNV on genetic diversity and background of complex diseases. SNP marker has been used frequently to detect CNVs, but the analysis of SNP chip data for identifying CNV has not been well established. We compared various normalization methods for CNV analysis and suggest optimal normalization procedure for reliable CNV call. Four normal Koreans and NA10851 HapMap male samples were genotyped using Affymetrix Genome-Wide Human SNP array 5.0. We evaluated the effect of median and quantile normalization to find the optimal normalization for CNV detection based on SNP array data. We also explored the effect of Robust Multichip Average (RMA) background correction for each normalization process. In total, the following 4 combinations of normalization were tried: 1) Median normalization without RMA background correction, 2) Quantile normalization without RMA background correction, 3) Median normalization with RMA background correction, and 4) Quantile normalization with RMA background correction. CNV was called using SW-ARRAY algorithm. We applied 4 different combinations of normalization and compared the effect using intensity ratio profile, box plot, and MA plot. When we applied median and quantile normalizations without RMA background correction, both methods showed similar normalization effect and the final CNV calls were also similar in terms of number and size. In both median and quantile normalizations, RMA backgroundcorrection resulted in widening the range of intensity ratio distribution, which may suggest that RMA background correction may help to detect more CNVs compared to no correction.

최근 유전체 단위 반복 변이(CNV)의 중요성이 부각되고 있다. CNV란 DNA가 복제될 때 일부가 만들어지지 않거나 혹은 많이 만들어져 그 양이 차이가 나게 되는 것으로, 인간의 질병이나 형질과 밀접한 관련을 가진다고 알려져 있다. 이에 따라 CNV와 관련된 연구가 활발히 진행되었으며, CNV를 찾기 위한 다양한 방법들이 나오게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 CNV를 찾아내는 대표적인 기법 중 하나인 SW-ARRAY에 대해서 알아보고, 여기에 페널티 값과 점수에 따른 가변 임계값을 적용하여 보정함으로써 기존 SW-ARRAY의 문제점을 해결하는 방법을 제안한다. 이를 실제 Array-CGH 데이터에 적용한 결과 긍정 오류 값이 줄어들어 기존의 방식에 비해 정확한 값을 얻게 되었다.

시퀀싱 기술의 발달로 최근에는 비교적 저렴한 비용으로 개인의 유전체 시퀀싱 데이터를 산출할 수 있게 되었다. 하지만 이를 기반으로 하는 기존의 분석 방법은 매우 고가의 컴퓨팅 환경을 요구하기 때문에 분석을 위한 비용이 매우 높은 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경의 병렬 CNV 검출알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 모양 기반의 CNV 검출 알고리즘인 CNV_shape을 MapReduce 기법으로 개발한 것으로 시퀀싱 데이터를 레퍼런스 서열에 매핑한 결과로부터 리드 커버리지 (read coverage)를 계산하여 커버리지가 감소하거나 증가하는 일정 길이 이상의 영역을 검출하는 방법이다. 클라우드 컴퓨팅 환경에 적용하고 노드의 밸런싱 유지를 위한 방법으로 파티셔닝 기법을 사용하였다. 또한 실 데이터를 이용한 실험을 통해 제안하는 방법의 효율적 데이터 처리를 보인다.

Objective : Structural genetic variation, including copy-number variation (CNV), constitutes a substantial fraction of total genetic variability, and the importance of structural variants in modulating susceptibility is increasingly being recognized. CNV can change biological function and contribute to pathophysiological conditions of human disease. Its relationship with common, complex human disease in particular is not fully understood. Here, we searched the human genome to identify copy number variants that predispose to moya-moya type cerebrovascular disease. Methods : We retrospectively analyzed patients who had unilateral or bilateral steno-occlusive lesions at the cerebral artery from March, 2007, to September, 2009. For the 20 subjects, including patients with moyamoya type pathologies and three normal healthy controls, we divided the subjects into 4 groups : typical moyamoya (n=6), unilateral moyamoya (n=9), progression unilateral to typical moyamoya (n=2) and non-moyamoya (n=3). Fragmented DNA was hybridized on Human610Quad v1.0 DNA analysis BeadChips (Illumina). Data analysis was performed with GenomeStudio v2009.1, Genotyping 1.1.9, cnvPartition_v2.3.4 software. Overall call rates were more than 99.8%. Results : In total, 1258 CNVs were identified across the whole genome. The average number of CNV was 45.55 per subject (CNV region was 45.4). The gain/loss of CNV was 52/249, having 4.7 fold higher frequencies in loss calls. The total CNV size was 904,657,868, and average size was 993,038. The largest portion of CNVs (613 calls) were 1M-10M in length. Interestingly, significant association between unilateral moyamoya disease (MMD) and progression of unilateral to typical moyamoya was observed. Conclusion : Significant association between unilateral MMD and progression of unilateral to typical moyamoya was observed. The finding was confirmed again with clustering analysis. These data demonstrate that certain CNV associate with moyamoya-type cerebrovascular disease.

Osteoporotic fractures (OFs) are critical hard outcomes of osteoporosis and are characterized by decreased bone strength induced by low bone density and microarchitectural deterioration in bone tissue. Most OFs cause acute pain, hospitalization, immobilization, and slow recovery in patients and are associated with increased mortality. A variety of genetic studies have suggested associations of genetic variants with the risk of OF. Genome-wide association studies have reported various single-nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variations (CNVs) in European and Asian populations. To identify CNV regions associated with OF risk, we conducted a genome-wide CNV study in a Korean population. We performed logistic regression analyses in 1,537 Korean subjects (299 OF cases and 1,238 healthy controls) and identified a total of 8 CNV regions significantly associated with OF (p < 0.05). Then, one CNV region located on chromosome 20q13.12 was selected for experimental validation. The selected CNV region was experimentally validated by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. The CNV region of chromosome 20q13.12 is positioned upstream of a family of long non-coding RNAs, LINC01260. Our findings could provide new information on the genetic factors associated with the risk of OF.

Glucuronidation은 NNAL [4-(methylnitrosamno)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol]의 주요 pathway이며, UGT2B의 family인 UGT2B17 (UGT, uridine diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase) 유전자는 발암원의 glucuronidation에 관여 한다. UGT2B17 결손은 NNAL의 감소 수준과 특정 암에 있어 위험도를 증가시킨다. UGT2B17 유전자의 copy 수는 사람에서 개인별로 0~2로 다양하다. 본 연구에서는 UGT2B17 결손이 폐암의 위험도와 연관성을 가지는 가를 알아보기 위해 한국인인 271명의 대조군과 176명의 폐암환자의 샘플로 PCR 방법으로 CNV를 조사하였다. 그 결과, 현재까지 보고된 백인과 흑인에 비해 한국인에서 결실 대립형질이 현저히 높게 나타났다. 백인에서 유전자 두 개 모두가 결실된 0 copy 수가 약 10%를 나타낸 것에 비해, 본 연구의 한국인에서는 0 copy 수가 약 74%를 나타내었다. 더욱이 양 쪽 결실이 여성그룹에서 전반적으로 남성그룹에 비해 높게 나타났다. 그러나 UGT2B17 유전자가 CNV와 폐암과의 연관성은 찾을 수 없었다. 이러한 결과는 UGT2B17 유전자의 결실이 폐암의 감수성과는 연관되어 있지 않으나, UGT2B17 CNV 다형성이 인종간의 진화적 분석의 유용한 마커로 사용이 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

본 논문에서는 저전력 소면적 전하재활용 프리디코더(area efficient charge recycling predecoder: AE-CRPD)를 제안하였다. AE-CRPD는 기존의 전하재활용 프리디코더(conventional charge recycling predecoder: CNV-CRPD)를 개선한 프리디코더이다. AE-CRPD는 전하재활용 동작을 위한 제어 회로의 면적과 전력소모를 크게 줄임으로써, 2-to-4 CNV-CRPD의 38%의 면적과 8%의 전력소모를 줄였다. 또한, 메모리에서 어드레스가 연속적으로 증가하는 특징을 이용하여, 빈번하게 변하는 LSBs(least significant bits)에는 AE-CRPD를 사용하고 가끔 변하는 MSBs(most significant bits)에는 기존의 프리디코더를 사용함으로써, 기존의 12 비트의 프리디코더의 전력소모를 23% 줄였다.

Copy number variations(CNVs) are known as one of the most important factors in susceptibility to genetic disorders because they affect expression levels of genes. In previous studies, pyrosequencing, mini-sequencing real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR), invader assays and other techniques have been used to detect CNVs. However, the higher the copy number in a genome, the more difficult it is to resolve the copies, so a more accurate method for measuring CNVs and assigning genotype is needed. PCR followed by a quantitative oligonucleotide ligation assay(qOLA) was developed for quantifying CNVs. The aim of this study was to compare the two methods for detecting and quantifying the CNVs of duplicated gene: the published pyrosequencing assay(pyro_CNV) and the newly developed qOLA_CNV. The accuracy and precision of the assay were evaluated for porcine KIT, which was selected as a model locus. Overall, the root mean squares(RMSs) of bias and standard deviation of qOLA_CNV were 2.09 and 0.45, respectively. These values are less than half of those of pyro CNV.

Objective: Chinese indigenous sheep breeds can be classified into the following three categories by their tail morphology: fat-tailed, fat-rumped and thin-tailed sheep. The typical sheep breeds corresponding to fat-tailed, fat-rumped, and thin-tailed sheep are large-tailed Han, Altay, and Tibetan sheep, respectively. Detection of copy number variation (CNV) and selection signatures provides information on the genetic mechanisms underlying the phenotypic differences of the different sheep types. Methods: In this study, PennCNV software and F-statistics (F_ST) were implemented to detect CNV and selection signatures, respectively, on the X chromosome in three Chinese indigenous sheep breeds using ovine high-density 600K single nucleotide polymorphism arrays. Results: In large-tailed Han, Altay, and Tibetan sheep, respectively, a total of six, four and 22 CNV regions (CNVRs) with lengths of 1.23, 0.93, and 7.02 Mb were identified on the X chromosome. In addition, 49, 34, and 55 candidate selection regions with respective lengths of 27.49, 16.47, and 25.42 Mb were identified in large-tailed Han, Altay, and Tibetan sheep, respectively. The bioinformatics analysis results indicated several genes in these regions were associated with fat, including dehydrogenase/reductase X-linked, calcium voltage-gated channel subunit alpha1 F, and patatin like phospholipase domain containing 4. In addition, three other genes were identified from this analysis: the family with sequence similarity 58 member A gene was associated with energy metabolism, the serine/arginine-rich protein specific kinase 3 gene was associated with skeletal muscle development, and the interleukin 2 receptor subunit gamma gene was associated with the immune system. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated CNVRs and selection regions on the X chromosome of Chinese indigenous sheep contained several genes associated with various heritable traits.
