Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.

It occurs naturally via the excision of a copy of the repeating sequence from the chromosome and its extrachromosomal replication in a plasmid, or via the production of an RNA transcript of the entire repeating sequence of ribosomal RNA followed by the reverse transcription of the molecule to produce an additional copy of the original DNA sequence. Laboratory techniques have been introduced for inducing disproportional replication by unequal crossing over, uptake of DNA from lysed cells, or generation of extrachromosomal sequences from rolling circle replication.
Sequences of DNA in the genes that are located between the EXONS. They are transcribed along with the exons but are removed from the primary gene transcript by RNA SPLICING to leave mature RNA. Some introns code for separate genes.
Strains of mice in which certain GENES of their GENOMES have been disrupted, or "knocked-out". To produce knockouts, using RECOMBINANT DNA technology, the normal DNA sequence of the gene being studied is altered to prevent synthesis of a normal gene product. Cloned cells in which this DNA alteration is successful are then injected into mouse EMBRYOS to produce chimeric mice. The chimeric mice are then bred to yield a strain in which all the cells of the mouse contain the disrupted gene. Knockout mice are used as EXPERIMENTAL ANIMAL MODELS for diseases (DISEASE MODELS, ANIMAL) and to clarify the functions of the genes.

Sexual dimorphism in white campion: complex control of carpel number is revealed by y chromosome deletions. (1/6089)

Sexual dimorphism in the dioecious plant white campion (Silene latifolia = Melandrium album) is under the control of two main regions on the Y chromosome. One such region, encoding the gynoecium-suppressing function (GSF), is responsible for the arrest of carpel initiation in male flowers. To generate chromosomal deletions, we used pollen irradiation in male plants to produce hermaphroditic mutants (bsx mutants) in which carpel development was restored. The mutants resulted from alterations in at least two GSF chromosomal regions, one autosomal and one located on the distal half of the (p)-arm of the Y chromosome. The two mutations affected carpel development independently, each mutation showing incomplete penetrance and variegation, albeit at significantly different levels. During successive meiotic generations, a progressive increase in penetrance and a reduction in variegation levels were observed and quantified at the level of the Y-linked GSF (GSF-Y). Possible mechanisms are proposed to explain the behavior of the bsx mutations: epigenetic regulation or/and second-site mutation of modifier genes. In addition, studies on the inheritance of the hermaphroditic trait showed that, unlike wild-type Y chromosomes, deleted Y chromosomes can be transmitted through both the male and the female lines. Altogether, these findings bring experimental support, on the one hand, to the existence on the Y chromosome of genic meiotic drive function(s) and, on the other hand, to models that consider that dioecy evolved through multiple mutation events. As such, the GSF is actually a system containing more than one locus and whose primary component is located on the Y chromosome.  (+info)

Sexual dimorphism in white campion: deletion on the Y chromosome results in a floral asexual phenotype. (2/6089)

White campion is a dioecious plant with heteromorphic X and Y sex chromosomes. In male plants, a filamentous structure replaces the pistil, while in female plants the stamens degenerate early in flower development. Asexual (asx) mutants, cumulating the two developmental defects that characterize the sexual dimorphism in this species, were produced by gamma ray irradiation of pollen and screening in the M1 generation. The mutants harbor a novel type of mutation affecting an early function in sporogenous/parietal cell differentiation within the anther. The function is called stamen-promoting function (SPF). The mutants are shown to result from interstitial deletions on the Y chromosome. We present evidence that such deletions tentatively cover the central domain on the (p)-arm of the Y chromosome (Y2 region). By comparing stamen development in wild-type female and asx mutant flowers we show that they share the same block in anther development, which results in the production of vestigial anthers. The data suggest that the SPF, a key function(s) controlling the sporogenous/parietal specialization in premeiotic anthers, is genuinely missing in females (XX constitution). We argue that this is the earliest function in the male program that is Y-linked and is likely responsible for "male dimorphism" (sexual dimorphism in the third floral whorl) in white campion. More generally, the reported results improve our knowledge of the structural and functional organization of the Y chromosome and favor the view that sex determination in this species results primarily from a trigger signal on the Y chromosome (Y1 region) that suppresses female development. The default state is therefore the ancestral hermaphroditic state.  (+info)

Microdeletion 22q11 and oesophageal atresia. (3/6089)

Oesophageal atresia (OA) is a congenital defect associated with additional malformations in 30-70% of the cases. In particular, OA is a component of the VACTERL association. Since some major features of the VACTERL association, including conotruncal heart defect, radial aplasia, and anal atresia, have been found in patients with microdeletion 22q11.2 (del(22q11.2)), we have screened for del(22q11.2) by fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH) in 15 syndromic patients with OA. Del(22q11.2) was detected in one of them, presenting with OA, tetralogy of Fallot, anal atresia, neonatal hypocalcaemia, and subtle facial anomalies resembling those of velocardiofacial syndrome. The occurrence of del(22q11.2) in our series of patients with OA is low (1/15), but this chromosomal anomaly should be included among causative factors of malformation complexes with OA. In addition, clinical variability of del(22q11.2) syndrome is further corroborated with inclusion of OA in the list of the findings associated with the deletion.  (+info)

Low-copy repeats mediate the common 3-Mb deletion in patients with velo-cardio-facial syndrome. (4/6089)

Velo-cardio-facial syndrome (VCFS) is the most common microdeletion syndrome in humans. It occurs with an estimated frequency of 1 in 4, 000 live births. Most cases occur sporadically, indicating that the deletion is recurrent in the population. More than 90% of patients with VCFS and a 22q11 deletion have a similar 3-Mb hemizygous deletion, suggesting that sequences at the breakpoints confer susceptibility to rearrangements. To define the region containing the chromosome breakpoints, we constructed an 8-kb-resolution physical map. We identified a low-copy repeat in the vicinity of both breakpoints. A set of genetic markers were integrated into the physical map to determine whether the deletions occur within the repeat. Haplotype analysis with genetic markers that flank the repeats showed that most patients with VCFS had deletion breakpoints in the repeat. Within the repeat is a 200-kb duplication of sequences, including a tandem repeat of genes/pseudogenes, surrounding the breakpoints. The genes in the repeat are GGT, BCRL, V7-rel, POM121-like, and GGT-rel. Physical mapping and genomic fingerprint analysis showed that the repeats are virtually identical in the 200-kb region, suggesting that the deletion is mediated by homologous recombination. Examination of two three-generation families showed that meiotic intrachromosomal recombination mediated the deletion.  (+info)

Delineation of the critical deletion region for congenital heart defects, on chromosome 8p23.1. (5/6089)

Deletions in the distal region of chromosome 8p (del8p) are associated with congenital heart malformations. Other major manifestations include microcephaly, intrauterine growth retardation, mental retardation, and a characteristic hyperactive, impulsive behavior. We studied genotype-phenotype correlations in nine unrelated patients with a de novo del8p, by using the combination of classic cytogenetics, FISH, and the analysis of polymorphic DNA markers. With the exception of one large terminal deletion, all deletions were interstitial. In five patients, a commonly deleted region of approximately 6 Mb was present, with breakpoints clustering in the same regions. One patient without a heart defect or microcephaly but with mild mental retardation and characteristic behavior had a smaller deletion within this commonly deleted region. Two patients without a heart defect had a more proximal interstitial deletion that did not overlap with the commonly deleted region. Taken together, these data allowed us to define the critical deletion regions for the major features of a del8p.  (+info)

Prognosis of Chromosome 4 short arm deletion including probable outcomes, duration, recurrence, complications, deaths, and survival rates.
Chromosome 22q11.2 deletion syndrome (22q11DS) is the most common human microdeletion syndrome and is associated with many cognitive, neurological and psychiatric disorders. The majority of individuals have a 3 Mb deletion while others have a nested 1.5 Mb deletion, but rare atypical deletions have also been described. To date, a study using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) has not been conducted to systematically map the chromosomal breakpoints in individuals with 22q11DS, which would provide important genotypic insight into the various phenotypes observed in this syndrome.This study uses ddPCR to assess copy number (CN) changes within the chromosome 22q11 deletion region and allows the mapping of the deletion endpoints. We used eight TaqMan assays interspersed throughout the deleted region of 22q11.2 to characterize the deleted region of chromosome 22 in 80 individuals known to have 22q11DS by FISH. Ten EvaGreen assays were used for finer mapping of the six identified individuals with 22q11DS ...

Chromosome 22q11.2 microdeletion syndrome, a disorder caused by heterozygous loss of genetic material in chromosome region 22q11.2, has a broad range of clinical symptoms. The most common congenital anomalies involve the palate in 80% of patients, and the heart in 50-60% of them. The cause of the phenotypic variability is unknown. Patients usually harbor one of three common deletions sizes: 3, 2 and 1.5 Mb, between low copy repeats (LCR) designated A-D, A-C and A-B, respectively. This study aimed to analyze the association between these 3 deletion sizes and the presence of congenital cardiac and/or palatal malformations in individuals with this condition. A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, merging relevant published studies with data from Chilean patients to increase statistical power. Eight articles out of 432 were included; the data from these studies was merged with our own, achieving a total of 1514 and 487 patients to evaluate cardiac and palate malformations, respectively.

NIH Rare Diseases : 50 distal chromosome 18q deletionsyndromeis a chromosome abnormality that occurs when there is a missing (deleted) copy of genetic material at the end of the long arm (q) of chromosome 18. the severity of the condition and the signs and symptoms depend on the size and location of the deletion and which genes are involved. features that often occur in people with distal chromosome 18q deletion syndrome include developmental delay, intellectual disability, behavioral problems and distinctive facial features. chromosome testing of both parents can provide more information on whether or not the deletion was inherited. in most cases, parents do not have any chromosomal anomaly. however, sometimes one parent is found to have a balanced translocation, where a piece of a chromosome has broken off and attached to another one with no gain or loss of genetic material. the balanced translocation normally does not cause any signs or symptoms, but it increases the risk for having an ...

Six submicroscopic deletions comprising chromosome band 2q23.1 in patients with severe mental retardation (MR), short stature, microcephaly and epilepsy have been reported, suggesting that haploinsufficiency of one or more genes in the 2q23.1 region might be responsible for the common phenotypic features in these patients. In this study, we report the molecular and clinical characterisation of nine new 2q23.1 deletion patients and a clinical update on two previously reported patients. All patients were mentally retarded with pronounced speech delay and additional abnormalities including short stature, seizures, microcephaly and coarse facies. The majority of cases presented with stereotypic repetitive behaviour, a disturbed sleep pattern and a broad-based gait. These features led to the initial clinical impression of Angelman, Rett or Smith-Magenis syndromes in several patients.

The 2p15p16.1 microdeletion syndrome has a core phenotype consisting of intellectual disability, microcephaly, hypotonia, delayed growth, common craniofacial features, and digital anomalies. So far, more than 20 cases of 2p15p16.1 microdeletion syndrome have been reported in the literature; however, the size of the deletions and their breakpoints vary, making it difficult to identify the candidate genes. Recent reports pointed to 4 genes (XPO1, USP34, BCL11A, and REL) that were included, alone or in combination, in the smallest deletions causing the syndrome. Here, we describe 8 new patients with the 2p15p16.1 deletion and review all published cases to date. We demonstrate functional deficits for the above 4 candidate genes using patients lymphoblast cell lines (LCLs) and knockdown of their orthologs in zebrafish.

Simply put, chromosomes are the structures that hold our genes. Genes are the individual instructions that tell our bodies how to develop and keep our bodies running healthy. In every cell of our body there are 20,000 to 25,000* genes that are located on 46 chromosomes. These 46 chromosomes occur as 23 pairs. We get one of each pair from our mother in the egg, and one of each pair from our father in the sperm. The first 22 pairs are labeled longest to shortest. The last pair are called the sex chromosomes labeled X or Y. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), and males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY). Therefore everyone should have 46 chromosomes in every cell of their body. If a chromosome or piece of a chromosome is missing or duplicated, there are missing or extra genes respectively. When a person has missing or extra information (genes) problems can develop for that individuals health and development. Each chromosomes has a p and q arm; p (petit) is the short arm and q (next letter in the ...
Most patients (90%) with the Smith-Magenis syndrome have interstitial deletions in the short arm of chromosome 17 (17p11.2). However, it is included here since a few have heterozygous molecular mutations in the RAI1 gene which is located in this region. While there is considerable phenotypic overlap, individuals with chromosomal deletions have the more severe phenotype as might be expected. For example, those with RAI1 mutations tend to be obese and are less likely to exhibit short stature, cardiac anomalies, hypotonia, hearing loss and motor delays than seen in patients with a deletion in chromosome 17. However, the phenotype is highly variable among patients with deletions depending upon the nature and size of the deletion..

Early attempts at karyotyping chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells identified trisomy 12 and deletions at 13q,[66] but most laboratories were unable to satisfactorily bring chronic lymphocytic leukaemia cells into mitosis. Only in the past few years have cytogenetic techniques been developed that make this proposition feasible.[65] and [67] Döhner and colleagues showed in a series of 325 patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia that chromosomal aberrations can be detected in interphase cells by fluorescence in-situ hybridisation (FISH) in 82% of cases. The most frequent alterations are a deletion on chromosome 13q (55%), trisomy 12 (18%), and a deletion on chromosome 11q (16%). A deletion on chromosome 17p, affecting the TP53 protein, is seen less frequently (7%). The presence of a 17p or 11q deletion is associated with poor prognosis and predominates in advanced stages of chronic lymphocytic leukaemia and in patients with unmutated IGHV genes, whereas the 13q deletion or a normal karyotype ...
Deletion 18p syndrome is due to the absence of all or part of the short arm of one chromosome 18. Parental karyotypes must be studied to determine if either is a balanced translocation carrier or has the unbalanced 18p- deletion.. Most cases (about 2/3) are de novo deletions. The short arm of chromosome 18 is about 16 Mb in size [24]. It is divided in three subbands: p11.1 adjacent to the centromere, p11.2 subdivided in p11.21, p11.22 and p11.23, and p11.3 subdivided in p11.31 and p11.32 [25]. A preferential breakpoint cluster at 18p11.1 has been suggested after study of 25 non-mosaic patients with de novo deletion of 18p and an apparent breakpoint cluster in the pericentromeric region on 18p with only 7/25 subjects with breakpoint outside [26]. In this study, maternal and paternal origin seemed to be equally common. No example of interstitial deletion has been reported to date..

PURPOSE: Submicroscopic deletions of chromosome band 2p25.3 are associated with intellectual disability and/or central obesity. Although MYT1L is believed to be a critical gene responsible for intellectual disability, so far no unequivocal data have confirmed this hypothesis. METHODS: In this study we evaluated a cohort of 22 patients (15 sporadic patients and two families) with a 2p25.3 aberration to further refine the clinical phenotype and to delineate the role of MYT1L in intellectual disability and obesity. In addition, myt1l spatiotemporal expression in zebrafish embryos was analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and whole-mount in situ hybridization. RESULTS: Complete MYT1L deletion, intragenic deletion, or duplication was observed in all sporadic patients, in addition to two patients with a de novo point mutation in MYT1L. The familial cases comprise a 6-Mb deletion in a father and his three children and a 5 MYT1L overlapping duplication in a father and his two children. ...
Most children with 22q11.2DS are missing about 50 genes. Researchers dont yet know the exact function of many of these genes. But missing the gene TBX1 on chromosome 22 likely causes the syndromes most common physical symptoms. These include heart problems and cleft palate. The loss of another gene (called COMT) may also explain the higher risk for behavior problems and mental illness. About 9 in 10 cases of 22q11.2DS happen by chance (randomly). They occur when the egg is fertilized. Or they occur early in a babys growth in the mothers uterus. This means that most children with the disorder have no family history of it. But a person with the condition can pass it on to his or her children. About 1 in 10 cases are inherited from the mother or the father. When the condition is inherited, other family members could also be affected. A person who has this chromosome deletion has a 1 in 2 chance of passing the problem to a child. So both parents can have their blood studied to look for the ...
5q31.3 microdeletion syndrome is caused by a chromosomal change in which a small piece of chromosome 5 is deleted in each cell. This rare condition is characterized by severely delayed development of speech and walking, weak muscle tone (hypotonia), breathing problems, seizures, and distinctive facial features. The deletion occurs on the long (q) arm of the chromosome at a position designated q31.3. The size of the deletion can range from several thousand to several million DNA building blocks (base pairs). The deleted region typically contains at least three genes. The loss of one of these genes, PURA, is thought to lead to most of the characteristic features of the condition.. The protein produced from the PURA gene, called Pur-alpha (Purα), is especially important for normal brain development. Purα helps direct the growth and division of nerve cells (neurons). It may also be involved in the formation or maturation of myelin, the protective substance that covers nerves and promotes the ...
This gene encodes a member of the tripartite motif (TRIM) family. The TRIM motif includes three zinc-binding domains, a RING, a B-box type 1 and a B-box type 2, and a coiled-coil region. This gene is located on chromosome 13 within the minimal deletion region for B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.

Information on Chromosome 7q deletion, which may include symptoms, causes, inheritance, treatments, orphan drugs, associated orgs, and other relevant data.
Although it is likely that chromosomal deletions occur randomly, those that result in a proliferative advantage or resistance to, e.g., physiological apoptosis could initiate clonal outgrowth. Selection for clones with a specific region of LOH could be related to a somatic or germline loss of a wild-type allele, resulting in hemizygosity for an SNP-encoded, disease-prone allele or a somatic or germline mutated allele (Fig. 1). If the affected area includes promoters of alleles that are differentially silenced (imprinted), deletion can lead to either a gain of imprinting (GOI) or loss of imprinting (LOI). This can result in changes in gene expression. UPD can also lead to the duplication of an imprinted expressed allele or a silenced (methylated), imprinted allele. When the transcription of both alleles is required for normal cellular physiology, deletions can result in pathological haploinsufficiency, and thus LOH is less likely to play a pathogenic role (Fig. 1).. There are similarities and ...

With respect to the TAP‐tagged proteins used in the different deletions (Figure 3), as we expected, all the proteins from the same module as the TAP‐tagged protein were highly recovered and had high probabilities. For instance, in Spt7-TAP-gcn5Δ;sgf29Δ, the highest probabilities were observed for Tra1, Ada1 and all the SPTs proteins with Spt8 exhibiting the highest probability (Figure 3A). Interestingly, for Spt8-TAP-sgf29Δ, Spt7 has the highest probability (after Spt8), suggesting a strong association between these two proteins (Figure 3A). To begin, we inspected the HAT/Core module and investigated the effect of the GCN5, SGF29 and ADA2 deletions on this module as well as on the entire complex. In the specific purifications that contain these deletions, ada2Δ had a greater effect on the HAT/Core module when compared with gcn5Δ and sgf29Δ (Figures 2A and 3B). Independent of the TAP‐tagged bait used, all and only the components of the HAT module were lost in ada2Δ (Figure 2A). In ...

崇越指出,受益於先進製程需求強勁,晶圓代工廠12吋廠產能第4季還是會持續滿載;不過關於40/65奈米等其他製程,晶圓代工廠第4季稼動率則將下修至7-8成,此部分需求將會下滑。而由於第1、第4季向來是崇越的傳統淡季,因此目前對第4季營運亦是保守看待。. 不過由於崇越1-8月累積營收已達93.78億元,未來單月營收僅要達到10億元的門檻,今年全年營收就可追平去年,因此法人也普遍看好,崇越今年營收至少可和去年持平。 惟在今年獲利表現方面,崇越則是看的較為保守,指出由於毛利率較優的石英,因晶圓廠製程進行調整,減少爐管的使用、增加自動化設備的比重,因此出貨有不小衰退。就以上半年石英的營收佔比而言,已從去年同期的1成滑落至5-6%左右,因此估計今年獲利恐會往下走。 ...
