Figures & Tables

Figure 1.

Graphical illustration of CYP450 CNVs identified in current study. (A) Reference gen locus of CYP1B1 (up) and CYP1B1Dup allele (down). CYP1B1 located on chromosome 2 and represented by yellow boxes. (B) Reference gen locus on chromosome 19 of CYP2A6 (orange box) and pseudogene CYP2A7 (grey box) (up) and CYP2A6Del allele (down), downstream of exon 9 of CYP2A6 is denoted by the black boxes. Primers position and strategy used for CYP2A6 del allele detection are also shown. (C) Reference gene cluster on chromosome 10 including CYP2C9 (blue box), CYP2C8 (green box) (up), and CYP2C9 Del allele (down). (D) Reference gen locus of CYP2E1 (pink box) on chromosome 10 (up), CYP2E1Del allele (middle), and CYP2E1Dup allele with 2 copies of the gene (down). CNVs, copy number variations.

Copy number confirmation of CYP2A6Del. (A) Amplification of a part of CYP2A6 gene or hybrid CYP2A7/2A6 using primer pair 2AE7F/2A6R1 resulting in approximately 2 kb products. (B) Detection of CYP2A6Del allele, Wt: Wild-type allele, Del: Deletion allele. CYP2A6 genotype of tested samples were as follows: FVN48: Wt/Del, FVN74: Del/Del, FVN79: Wt/Wt.

Figure 3.

Copy number confirmation of CYP1B1, CYP2C9, and CYP2E1. Primers for real-time PCR located in exon 1 and exon 2 of CYP1B1, exons 4 and 7 of CYP2C9, exons 8 and 9 of CYP2E1 were used to confirm CNVs detected by MLPA in these genes. REF: reference samples, in which MLPA showing 2 copies of gene of interest. (A) Heterozygous duplications of CYP1B1 detected in both FVN 96 and MVN 21. (B) Heterozygous deletions of CYP2C9 were found in both MVN 21 and MVN 23. (C) Copy number confirmation of CYP2E1 showed that heterozygous deletion was detected in FVN 73 while heterozygous duplications were identified in FVN 46, FVN 98, Kinh 712 and DB98. CNVs, copy number variations; MLPA, multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification.
