Smallest critical region for microcephaly in a patient with mosaic ring

... Microcephaly is relatively common among developmentally delayed children. Four single etiologic genes have been identified. Microcephaly is also associated with at least 7 loci (Kinsman and Johnston, 2011) and is commonly observed in ring chromosome 13, or r(13) (Brandt et al., 1992; Bedoyan et al., ...

Introduction Because Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited genetic disease

... Genes are located on small thread-like structures called chromosomes. Usually we have 46 chromosomes in most cells. One set of 23 chromosomes we inherit from our mother and one set of 23 chromosomes we inherit from our father. So we have two sets of 23 chromosomes, or 23 pairs. Sometimes, there is a ...

X-inactivation



X-inactivation (also called lyonization) is a process by which one of the two copies of the X chromosome present in female mammals is inactivated. The inactive X chromosome is silenced by its being packaged in such a way that it has a transcriptionally inactive structure called heterochromatin. As nearly all female mammals have two X chromosomes, X-inactivation prevents them from having twice as many X chromosome gene products as males, who only possess a single copy of the X chromosome (see dosage compensation). The choice of which X chromosome will be inactivated is random in placental mammals such as humans, but once an X chromosome is inactivated it will remain inactive throughout the lifetime of the cell and its descendants in the organism. Unlike the random X-inactivation in placental mammals, inactivation in marsupials applies exclusively to the paternally derived X chromosome.
