Molecular genetics of human chromosome 4.

چکیده
The recent discovery that the gene causing Huntington's disease (HD) resides on chromosome 4 has generated increased interest in this autosome. Chromosome 4 contains two of the more informative conventional genetic markers, GC and MNS, but most loci have been assigned to it by recombinant DNA techniques. There are currently more anonymous DNA fragments detecting restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) on chromosome 4 than on any other autosome. In addition, most of the cloned genes from this chromosome detect useful RFLPs. A genetic linkage map including both conventional and DNA markers should soon span the entire chromosome and will undoubtedly lead to the localisation of other inherited disorders.

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...
متن کاملRing Chromosome 18: A Case Report
Ring chromosomes are rare chromosomal disorders that usually appear to occur de novo. A ring chromosome forms when due to deletion both ends of chromosome fuse with each other. Depending on the amount of chromosomal deletion, the clinical manifestations may be different. So, ring 18 syndrome is characterized by severe mental growth retardation as well as microcephaly, brain and ocular malformat...
متن کاملA de novo Deletion of Chromosome 18p With Persistent Limb Tremor and Difficulty Speaking: A Case Report
The common causes of 18p deletion syndrome are spontaneous errors in the chromosomal structure in the early stages of human embryonic development. In this study, a 29-year-old girl was introduced with the features of deletion of chromosome 18. In addition, GTG banding karyotype revealed that this case had a deletion involving the short arm of chromosome 18. In comparison with the usual phenotyp...
متن کاملDirect Bisulfite Sequencing and Methylation Specific PCR to Detect Methylation of p15INK4b and F7 genes in Coronary Artery Disease Patients
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants contributing to the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) at the chromosome 9p21 locus. The chromosome 9p21 is an important susceptibility locus for several multifactorial diseases like ischemic stroke, aortic aneurysm, type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease (CAD). F7 gene because of its role in activating the ...
متن کاملP-122: The Effect of Beta Globin Intron on Human LH Hormone Expression in CHO Cells
Background Luteinizing hormone (LH) is a heterodimeric glycoprotein composed of alpha and beta subunits.This hormone is secreted from the pituitary gland. LH, in women triggers Menstrual cycle and ovulation. In men, LH stimulates production of testosterone, which plays a specialized role in sperm production. Up to day, LH hormone have produced in different ways such as codon optimization and al...
متن کاملDevelopment of a probe consist of three cosmids to enumerate the chromosome 13 on uncultured lymphocytes or amniocytes using interphase FISH
Abstract Background: To produce a reliable probe suitable for aneuploidy detection of chromosome 13 on uncultured lymphocytes and amniocytes by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), we used a contig of three overlapping cosmids mapped to 13q12.3. Methods: The cosmid DNA carrying the expected sequences of human chromosome 13 was isolated from host cells and labelled with biotin-11-dUTP. Th...
