DNA mapping in growth and developmental disorders.
DNA mapping techniques are being increasingly applied to familial and acquired disorders affecting growth and development. To understand the potential applications of these techniques, one must first have a good understanding of the components and basic structure of DNA, the genetic code, the basic structure of genes and the roles that various components of gene structure play in regulating gen...
متن کاملGrowth Models of Developmental Language Disorders
The prior quote is from a recent issue of Science with a special section on the topic of developmental timing. The temporal events that guide development are key parts of the puzzle of contemporary molecular genetics. Genes are known to turn on at certain times in development; microRNAs show temporaland tissuespecific patterns of gene expression (cf. Carrington & Ambros, 2003); and genes activa...
متن کاملExpandable DNA Repeat and Human Hereditary Disorders
Background & Aims: Nearly 30 hereditary disorders in humans result from an increase in the number of copies of simple repeats in genomic DNA, including fragile X syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, Huntington’s disease, and Friedreich’s ataxia. One the most frequently occurring types of mutation is trinucleotide repeat expansion. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating the cause...
متن کاملModularity and Developmental Disorders
In this chapter, we consider the origin of uneven cognitive profiles in individuals with developmental disorders, including accounts from cognitive, brain, and genetic levels of description. We begin by introducing the main types of developmental disorder. We then discuss what is meant by the idea of modularity and the key issues surrounding it, outlining how modularity has been applied to expl...
متن کاملNeuroimaging in developmental disorders.
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review considers the role of neuroimaging in developmental disorders by highlighting recent studies in two distinct, but overlapping, developmental disorders: autism and fragile X syndrome. RECENT FINDINGS After a decade of conflicting results in neuroimaging studies of autism, recent studies have provided some convergent data. One well-replicated finding is that autist...
