A population study of chromosome 22q11 deletions in infancy

Chromosome 22q11 in a Xhosa schizophrenia population.

Chromosome 22q11 aberrations substantially increase the risk for developing schizophrenia. Although micro-deletions in this region have been extensively investigated in different populations across the world, little is known of their prevalence in African subjects with schizophrenia. We screened 110 African Xhosa-speaking participants with schizophrenia for the presence of micro-deletions. As f...

پیدایش مرحله ی جدیدی از نظام سرمایه داری بعد از جنگ جهانی دوم همزمان است با ظهور عصر اطلاعات و رسانه جمعی. در چنین جامعه ای سیر آزادانه ی نشانه ها در فضای بی اساس مجازی بر سرعت فرسایش واقعیت می افزاید. به اعتقاد بودریار، فقدان واقعیت به واسطه ی شبیه سازی آن و تولید حاد واقعیت (hyperreality) پنهان خواهد ماند. این پژوهش بر آن است که جامعه فرانوین توصیف شده در سه رمان بریان مور را با توجه به نظر...

Molecular Study of Partial Deletions of AZFc Region of the Y Chromosome in Infertile Men

Background & Aims: The most significant cause of infertility in men is the genetic deletion in the azoospermia factor (AZF) region that is caused by the process of intra- and inter-chromosomal homologous recombination in amplicons. Homologous recombination could also result in partial deletions in AZF region. The aim of this research was to determine the association between the partial AZFc del...

Towards earlier diagnosis of 22q11 deletions.

Over a 7 year period, 551 patients were investigated for the presence of a chromosome 22q11 deletion by fluorescence in situ hybridisation. Analysis of the presenting features of the 67 individuals with this chromosome deletion permitted us to devise guidelines to facilitate early diagnosis.
