| Abstract | The 450k Chip Analysis Methylation Pipeline (ChAMP) is a novel Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip data processing algorithm that allows the analysis of copy number alterations (CNAs). With this pipeline we evaluated the prevalence of CNAs in peripheral blood leukocyte samples from healthy Argentinean Andean women with varying exposure to inorganic arsenic in drinking water. Arsenic exposure was assessed based on the sum concentrations of metabolites of inorganic arsenic in urine (U-As), which ranged from 10–663 μg L−1 with a median of 185 μg L−1. We used linear regression analysis to elucidate the association between U-As and the prevalence of CNAs. We found that increasing arsenic exposure was positively associated with the frequency of CNAs (p = 0.002), possibly in a dose–response relationship. Adjustment of the regression model for age and BMI of the subjects did not significantly change the effect estimate, although both covariates were significant predictors. Our results suggest that exposure to arsenic increases genomic instability in the form of CNAs. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
