- 23 November 2006
A first-generation CNV map of the human genome is constructed through the study of 270 individuals from four populations with ancestry in Europe, Africa or Asia, underscoring the importance of CNV in genetic diversity and evolution and the utility of this resource for genetic disease studies.

Se sequencing and deep analysis of messenger RNA and microRNA from lymphoblastoid cell lines of 462 individuals from the 1000 Genomes Project—the first uniformly processed high-throughput RNA-sequencing data from multiple human populations with high-quality genome sequences discover extremely widespread genetic variation affecting the regulation of most genes.
Identification and analysis of functional elements in 1% of the human genome by the ENCODE pilot project

- BiologyNature
- 14 June 2007
Functional data from multiple, diverse experiments performed on a targeted 1% of the human genome as part of the pilot phase of the ENCODE Project are reported, providing convincing evidence that the genome is pervasively transcribed, such that the majority of its bases can be found in primary transcripts.
Whole-genome sequencing identifies recurrent mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
The patterns of somatic mutation, supported by functional and clinical analyses, strongly indicate that the recurrent NOTCH1, MYD88 and XPO1 mutations are oncogenic changes that contribute to the clinical evolution of the disease.
SNPassoc: an R package to perform whole genome association studies

- 10 February 2007
SNPassoc, an R package to carry out most common analyses in whole genome association studies, including descriptive statistics and exploratory analysis of missing values, calculation of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, analysis of association based on generalized linear models, and analysis of multiple SNPs.
Exome sequencing identifies recurrent mutations of the splicing factor SF3B1 gene in chronic lymphocytic leukemia
- V. Quesada, L. Conde, C. López-OtÃn
- BiologyNature Genetics
- 2012
This work provides the first comprehensive catalog of somatic mutations in CLL with relevant clinical correlates and defines a large set of new genes that may drive the development of this common form of leukemia.

Non-coding recurrent mutations in chronic lymphocytic leukaemia
An integrated portrait of the CLL genomic landscape is provided, new recurrent driver mutations of the disease are identified, and clinical interventions that may improve the management of this neoplasia are suggested.
Connexin26 mutations associated with the most common form of non-syndromic neurosensory autosomal recessive deafness (DFNB1) in Mediterraneans.

- BiologyHuman Molecular Genetics
- 1 September 1997
The identification of GJB2 as the DFNB1 gene should provide a better understanding of the biology of normal and abnormal hearing, help form the basis for diagnosis and may facilitate development of strategies for treatment of this common genetic disorder.
High carrier frequency of the 35delG deafness mutation in European populations
- P. Gasparini, R. Rabionet, X. Estivill
- MedicineEuropean Journal of Human Genetics
- 2000
The 35delG carrier frequency of 1 in 51 in the overall European population clearly indicates that this genetic alteration is a major mutation for autosomal recessive deafness in Caucasoids, which should facilitate diagnosis of congenital deafness and allow early treatment of the affected subjects.
