ABSTRACT During the previous two decades it has become apparent that genomic rearrangements are often the type of mutation that underlies neurological disease. This is so not only for neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability (ID) and different recognizable patterns of human malformation (e.g. Potocki-Lupski syndrome), but also for late-onset adult neurological disorders such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. Moreover, genomic rearrangement can often underlie complex traits and sporadic diseases such as Parkinson, Alzheimer disease and other neurodegenerative processes. Contrary to prior interpretations, experimental evaluation of disease associated genomic rearrangements has often documented that they can be much more complex than anticipated. Complexities can occur at individual loci and give specific patterns for complex genomic rearrangements (CGR) as observed on genome-wide array CGH; such as duplication - normal - duplication (DUP-NML-DUP), or a triplication embedded within duplications (DUP-TRP-DUP). Furthermore, complexities can occur on a genomic level leading to complex chromosomal rearrangements (CCR) and the phenomena of chromothripsis observed both in cancer and neurodevelopmental disorders, as well as an unusual experimentally observed pattern of multiple de novo copy number variants (CNVs) spread apparently randomly throughout the genome. The elucidation of mechanisms that can generate such complexities is an emerging field. We propose to further characterize CGR that have been found in association with neurological disease. Specifically, we will investigate: 1) CGRs that consists of: i) a DUP-NML-DUP pattern and ii) a pattern of a triplicated segment in inverse orientation embedded within a duplicated segment of the genome (DUP-TRP/INV-DUP); these are newly observed types of CGR with one proposed mechanism elucidated in our previous application; 2) The mechanism for recurrent triplications; 3) Elucidate the underlying molecular characteristics and breakpoint junctions of CGR that are accompanied by long genomic stretches of absence of heterozygosity (AOH), and resulting in both genomic (CGR) and genetic (AOH) alterations; 4) Alu-Alu rearrangements and their role in genomic instability and disease and 5) We will attempt to isolate a gene important to the phenomena of multiple de novo CNV seemingly randomly distributed throughout the genome. The experimental approaches to be utilized to accomplish each one of these specific aims are now within our reach. These studies predominately require genomic approaches that enable genomewide assays of variation such as array comparative genomic hybridization, genomewide SNP chips, whole exome sequencing (WES), whole genome sequencing (WGS), and other mapping and molecular approaches for the delineation of specific breakpoint junctions. It is anticipated these studies will characterize these novel types of rearrangements and lend further insight into basic molecular mutational mechanisms driving gene and genome evolution and that can cause the myriad of neurological diseases.

抽象的 在过去的二十年中，很明显基因组重排通常是 神经系统疾病的突变。这不仅适用于神经发育障碍 智力残疾（ID）和人类畸形的不同识别模式（例如Potocki-Lupski 综合征），也适用于晚期成人神经系统疾病，例如charcot-marie-tooth病。 此外，基因组重排通常是复杂的特征和零星疾病（例如帕金森）的基础 阿尔茨海默氏病和其他神经退行性过程。与先前的解释相反，实验 评估疾病相关的基因组重排的评估经常证明它们可以更多 比预期的要复杂。复杂性可以在单个基因座发生，并为复合物提供特定的模式 基因组重排（CGR），如在全基因组阵列CGH上观察到的；例如重复 - 正常 - 重复（DUP-NML-DUP）或重复（dup-trp-dup）中嵌入的一级固定。此外， 复杂性可能在基因组水平上发生，导致复杂的染色体重排（CCR）和 在癌症和神经发育障碍中观察到的铬心理现象，以及 显然 在整个基因组中随机。阐明可以产生这种复杂性的机制是一种 新兴领域。我们建议进一步表征与神经系统相关的CGR 疾病。具体而言，我们将研究：1）CGRS，其中包括：i）DUP-NML-DUP模式和II） 在基因组重复段中嵌入的反向取向中的三分之一段的模式 （dup-trp/inv-dup）;这些是新观察到的类型的CGR类型，该类型具有一种阐明的机制 我们以前的申请； 2）复发性一式三份的机制； 3）阐明基础分子 CGR的特征和断点连接，伴随着长长的基因组缺失。 杂合性（AOH），并导致基因组（CGR）和遗传（AOH）改变； 4）alu-alu 重排及其在基因组不稳定性和疾病中的作用，5）我们将尝试分离基因 对于在整个基因组中似乎随机分布的多个从头CNV的现象很重要。 现在，用于实现这些特定目标的每一种实验方法现在都在我们的内部 抵达。这些研究主要需要基因组方法，以使全基因组的变异能够变异 例如阵列比较基因组杂交，全基因组SNP芯片，整个外显子组测序（WES）， 整个基因组测序（WGS）以及用于描述的其他映射和分子方法 特定的断点连接。预计这些研究将表征这些新型类型的 重排和进一步了解驱动基因和基因组的基本分子突变机制 进化，这可能导致无数的神经系统疾病。
