متن کاملNormal polymorphism in the incomplete trinucleotide repeat of the arginine-rich protein gene.
The arginine-rich protein (ARP) gene was recently cloned and localized to human chromosome band 3p21. Recent reports have suggested that ARP is mutated in a high percentage of different human tumors. We amplified and sequenced the multiple arginine coding area of the ARP gene in primary head and neck, non-small cell lung, and renal cell cancers. We found a high frequency of genetic changes in t...
متن کاملA Common Trinucleotide Repeat Expansion within the Transcription Factor 4 (TCF4, E2-2) Gene Predicts Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy
Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) is a common, familial disease of the corneal endothelium and is the leading indication for corneal transplantation. Variation in the transcription factor 4 (TCF4) gene has been identified as a major contributor to the disease. We tested for an association between an intronic TGC trinucleotide repeat in TCF4 and FECD by determining repeat length in 66 a...
متن کاملTranscription Factor IID Recruitment and Sp1 Activation
Cyclin D1 is an oncogene that regulates progression through the G1 phase of the cell cycle. A temperaturesensitive missense mutation in the transcription factor TAF1/TAFII250 induces the mutant ts13 cells to arrest in late G1 by decreasing transcription of cell cycle regulators, including cyclin D1. Here we provide evidence that TAF1 serves two independent functions, one at the core promoter an...
متن کاملTrinucleotide repeat expansion and human disease.
Eleven human loci, responsible for nine diseases, exhibit an unprecedented form of mutation: the expansion of trinucleotide repeats. Normally polymorphic CGG/CCG or CAG/CTG repeats (means of approximately 20 triplets) are found enlarged to either 2-3 or 10-1000 times normal lengths. The smaller expansions are found within genes coding for polyglutamine and are associated with neurodegenerative ...
