Detecting Rare Variants in Candidate Genes for Mitochondrial Diseases using Resequencing Microarrays

Seminar: Statistics and Genomics Seminar | November 19 | 4-5 p.m. | 1011 Evans Hall

Speaker: Wenyi Wang, Postdoctoral Fellow, Stanford Genome Technology Center

Sponsor: Statistics, Department of

Oligonucleotide resequencing arrays provide cost-effective approaches to identify key biomarkers in human disorders. Mitochondrial diseases are one disease family with the underlying genetic variations not yet fully understood. As a proof-of-principle study, we sequenced 39 candidate genes in healthy individuals and patients with mitochondrial diseases using custom designed resequencing arrays.

The genetic variation in a body of sequence data can be summarized by the nucleotide variation within each sample, measured by the variant frequency, typically =5%) and rare (MAF
