An investigation into FOXE1 polyalanine tract length in premature ovarian failure.
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a common condition affecting 1% of women worldwide. There is strong evidence for genetic involvement in POF as many cases are familial, and mutations in several genes have been associated with POF. We investigated variation in FOXE1 polyalanine tract length, following the observation that polyalanine tract deletions are seen in the closely related FOXL2 in pat...
متن کاملFOXE1 polyalanine tract length screening by MLPA in idiopathic premature ovarian failure
BACKGROUND FOXE1 is one of the candidate genes for genetic predisposition to premature ovarian failure (POF) and it contains an alanine tract. Our purpose is to assess the influence of length of the alanine tract of FOXE1 on genetic susceptibility to POF. METHODS The group studied consisted of 110 Chinese patients with idiopathic POF and 110 women from normal controls. The polyalanine tract a...
متن کاملAn investigation into vocal tract length normalisation
This paper investigates several di erent methods for performing vocal tract length normalisation (VTLN) which are either completely linear or piece-wise linear. Furthermore the combination of VTLN with either standard unconstrained maximum likelihood linear regression (MLLR) or constrained MLLR is considered. Results on the Switchboard corpus show that there is little di erence in performance b...
متن کاملDoes the Polymorphism in the Length of the Polyalanine Tract of FOXE1 Gene Influence the Risk of Thyroid Dysgenesis Occurrence?
Background. Recent data have suggested that polymorphisms in the length of the polyalanine tract (polyA) of FOXE1 gene may act as a susceptibility factor for thyroid dysgenesis. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of polyA of FOXE1 gene on the risk of thyroid dysgenesis. Method. A case-control study was conducted in a sample of 90 Brazilian patients with thyroid dysg...
