Comparative linkage meta-analysis reveals regionally-distinct, disparate genetic architectures: application to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. by Brady Tang, Tricia Thornton-Wells, Kathleen D Askland

“…Since it is likely a majority of common variants of modest effect have been identified through the application of tagSNP-based microarray platforms (i.e., GWAS), alternative approaches robust to detection of low-frequency (1-5% MAF) and rare (<1%) variants are of great importance. …”

Genes that act downstream of sensory neurons to influence longevity, dauer formation, and pathogen responses in Caenorhabditis elegans. by Marta M Gaglia, Dae-Eun Jeong, Eun-A Ryu, Dongyeop Lee, Cynthia Kenyon, Seung-Jae Lee

“…However, the mechanisms underlying these effects are incompletely understood. Using whole-genome microarray analysis, we identified transcripts whose levels are altered by mutations in the intraflagellar transport protein daf-10, which result in impaired development and function of many sensory neurons in C. elegans. …”

Genomic imbalances detected through array CGH in fetuses with holoprosencephaly by Isabela Nelly Machado, Juliana Karina Heinrich, Ricardo Barini

“…CONCLUSION: This is the first report of molecular characterization through a whole genome microarray CGH of fetuses with HPE. Our results may contribute to verify the effectiveness and applicability of the molecular technique of array CGH for prenatal diagnosis purposes, and contributing to the knowledge of the submicroscopic genomic instability characterization of HPE fetuses.…”
