Genomics and genetics of gonadotropin beta-subunit genes: Unique FSHB and duplicated LHB/CGB loci
The follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) play a critical role in human reproduction. Despite the common evolutionary ancestry and functional relatedness of the gonadotropin hormone beta (GtHB) genes, the single-copy FSHB (at 11p13) and the multi-copy LHB/CGB genes (at 19q13.32) exhibit locus-specific differences regarding their genomic co...
متن کاملارتباط چند شکلی های آللی اگزون یک و سه ژن FSHB با صفت چندقلوزایی در گوسفند بلوچی
This research was conducted to find association of genetic variation in exon 1 and 3 of the follicle stimulating hormone beta (FSHB) subunit gene and litter size in Baluchi sheep. DNA was extracted using modified salting out method and polymerase chain reaction was used to amplify a fragment of 220 bp of exon 1 and a fragment of 427 bp of exon 3 along with a part of intron 2. Two methods of PCR...
متن کاملHaplotype Structure of FSHB, the Beta-Subunit Gene for Fertility-Associated Follicle-Stimulating Hormone: Possible Influence of Balancing Selection
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is essential for human reproduction. The unique functions of this hormone are provided by the FSH receptor-binding beta-subunit encoded by the FSHB gene. Resequencing and genotyping of FSHB in three European, two Asian and one African population, as well as in the great apes (chimpanzee, gorilla, orangutan), revealed low diversity and significant excess of pol...
متن کاملReproductive Physiology in Young Men Is Cumulatively Affected by FSH-Action Modulating Genetic Variants: FSHR -29G/A and c.2039 A/G, FSHB -211G/T
Follicle-Stimulating Hormone Receptor (FSHR) -29G/A polymorphism (rs1394205) was reported to modulate gene expression and reproductive parameters in women, but data in men is limited. We aimed to bring evidence to the effect of FSHR -29G/A variants in men. In Baltic young male cohort (n = 982; Estonians, Latvians, Lithuanians; aged 20.2 ± 2.0 years), the FSHR -29 A-allele was significantly asso...
متن کاملCloning and Expression of FSHb Gene and the Effect of FSHβ on the mRNA Levels of FSHR in the Local Chicken*
Follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is a pituitary glycoprotein hormone that is encoded by separate alphaand betasubunit genes. It plays a key role in stimulating and regulating ovarian follicular development and egg production in chicken. FSH signal transduction is mediated by the FSH receptor (FSHR) that exclusively interacts with the beta-subunit of FSH, but characterization of prokaryotic ex...
