Mosaic loss of chromosome Y in leukocytes matters

Zusammenfassung: | [...] mixing the samples collected from blood and buccal mucosa would tend to dilute an association caused by LOY in leukocytes, resulting in loss of statistical power and false-negative results. Inclusion of all experiments from the EADI1 cohort would have resulted in a high level of false-positive LOY calls (Supplementary Fig. 2 in ref. 3). [...]it is likely that samples with poor genotyping quality, leading to false LOY calls, were included in the dataset published by Zhou et al.10, possibly influencing results from their statistical analyses. [...]the work described in Zhou et al.10 has substantial weaknesses that may explain the partly deviating results between that paper and Forsberg et al.1. [...]a continuous estimate of LOY mosaicism should be used as the response variable in primary statistical analyses. |
