A 200-kb region of human chromosome 22q11.2 confers antipsychotic-responsive behavioral abnormalities in mice.
Human chromosome 22q11.2 has been implicated in various behavioral abnormalities, including schizophrenia and other neuropsychiatric/behavioral disorders. However, the specific genes within 22q11.2 that contribute to these disorders are still poorly understood. Here, we show that an approximately 200-kb segment of human 22q11.2 causes specific behavioral abnormalities in mice. Mice that overexp...
متن کاملGlobal patterns of human DNA sequence variation in a 10-kb region on chromosome 1.
Human DNA variation is currently a subject of intense research because of its importance for studying human origins, evolution, and demographic history and for association studies of complex diseases. A approximately 10-kb region on chromosome 1, which contains only four small exons (each <155 bp), was sequenced for 61 humans (20 Africans, 20 Asians, and 21 Europeans) and for 1 chimpanzee, 1 go...
متن کاملChromosome abnormalities in human embryos.
The presence of numerical chromosome abnormalities in human embryos was studied using fluorescence in-situ hybridization with four or more chromosome-specific probes. When most cells of an embryo are analysed, this technique allows differentiation to be made between aneuploidy, mosaicism, haploidy and polyploidy. Abnormal types of fertilization, such as unipronucleated, tripronucleated zygotes ...
متن کاملChromosome abnormalities in mice with Hertwig's anemia.
Mice with the recessive hereditary disease, Hertwig's anemia (an/an), exhibit a persistent mild macrocytic anemia and reduced fertility. We examined mitotic figures from bone marrow and kidney cells of adult mice and from liver cells of fetal mice that were genetically normal or had Hertwig's anemia. Uniformly normal mitotic figures were observed in the nonanemic mice (+/+ or +/an). In contrast...
متن کاملBehavioral Abnormalities Observed in Zfhx2-Deficient Mice
Zfhx2 (also known as zfh-5) encodes a transcription factor containing three homeobox domains and 18 Zn-finger motifs. We have reported that Zfhx2 mRNA is expressed mainly in differentiating neurons in the mouse brain and its expression level is negatively regulated by the antisense transcripts of Zfhx2. Although the expression profile of Zfhx2 suggests that ZFHX2 might have a role in a particul...
