Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers all over the world, which bring about more than 450,000 deaths each year. Although this malignancy has been extensively studied by a large number of researchers, its prognosis is still poor. Since thera...
It is very significant to explore the intrinsic differences in breast cancer subtypes. These intrinsic differences are closely related to clinical diagnosis and designation of treatment plans. With the accumulation of biological and medicine datasets...
Standard clinical interpretation of DNA copy number variants (CNVs) identified by cytogenomic microarray involves examining protein-coding genes within the region and comparison to other CNVs. Emerging basic research suggests that CNVs can also exert...
BACKGROUND: BRCA1-mutated cancers exhibit deficient homologous recombination (HR) DNA repair, resulting in extensive copy number alterations and genome instability. HR deficiency can also arise in tumors without a BRCA1 mutation. Compared with other ...

The identification of copy number variations (CNVs) helps the diagnosis of many diseases. One major hurdle in the path of CNVs discovery is that the boundaries of normal and aberrant regions cannot be distinguished from the raw data, since various ty...
BACKGROUND: With the developments of DNA sequencing technology, large amounts of sequencing data have been produced that provides unprecedented opportunities for advanced association studies between somatic mutations and cancer types/subtypes which f...
BACKGROUND: 1p/19q-codeleted anaplastic gliomas have variable clinical behavior. We have recently shown that the common 9p21.3 allelic loss is an independent prognostic factor in this tumor type. The aim of this study is to identify less frequent gen...
BACKGROUND: According to the 7th edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system, over 50% of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) have N1 disease at initial diagnosis. However, patients with N1 NPC are relatively unde...
Copy number variation (CNV) is a crucial biomarker for many complex traits and diseases. Although numerous CNV detection tools are available, no single method consistently achieves optimal performance across diverse sequencing samples, as each tool h...
