Abstract

Genetic variation in the human genome occurs on various levels; from the single nucleotide polymorphism to large, microscopically visible chromosome anomalies. It can be present in many forms, including variable number of tandem repeat (VNTRs; e.g., mini- and microsatellites), presence/absence of transposable elements (e.g., Alu elements), single nucleotide polymorphisms, and structural alterations (e.g., copy number variation, segmental duplication, inversion, translocation). Until recently SNPs were thought to be the main source of genetic and phenotypic human variation. However, the use of methods such as array comparative genomic hybridization (array CGH) and fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) have revealed the presence of copy number variations(CNVs) ranging from kilobases (kb) to megabases (Mb) in the human genome. There is great interest in the possibility that CNVs playa role in the etiology of common disease such as HIV-1/AIDS, diabetes, autoimmune disease, heart disease and cancer. The discovery of widespread copy number variation in human provides insights into genetic variability among populations and provides a foundation for studies of the contribution of CNVs to evolution and disease.

인간 게놈의 DNA서열의 차이는 개개인의 특이성을 의미하기 때문에 염기서열의 변화는 질병에 대한 감수성, 약물에 대한 반응 등 개인의 성향에 큰 영향을 미치게 된다. 인간 게놈에는 여러 가지 형태의 유전적 변이가 존재하지만 그 중 단일염기다형성이 인간의 유전적, 표현형의 다양성을 설명하는 주된 유전적 변이로 생각되었으나 최근 유전체 전체 분석법의 발전으로 1 kb 이상 크기의 CNV의 발견으로 개체간의 유전적 다양성에 대한 더 많은 이해가 가능하게 되었고, 진화와 유전 질환에 대한 CNV의 역할을 조사하는 연구의 기초를 제공하게 되었다. 현재 인간게놈의 CNV를 찾아내고 특성화 작업을 목표로 하는 The Copy Number Variation Project를 위해 The Wellcome Trust Institute (Hinxton, United Kingdom), Hospital for Sick Children (Toronto), University of Tokyo (Tokyo), Affymetrix (Santa Clara, CA), 그리고 Harvard Medical School/Brigham and Women's Hospital (Boston, MA) 등이 참여하는 international consortium이 구성되어 보다 심도 있는 연구가 진행되고, 또한 향후 진보된 DNA microarray-based technology와 서열화 기술의 개발로 인간 게놈 상의 모든 유전적 변이를 발견하게 되고 포괄적인 CNV 지도를 완성하고 인간 유전자 다양성 인간의 진화, 유전적 질환 개인 맞춤형 의학에 대한 새로운 이해와 연구가 가능하게 될 것으로 기대된다.
