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.

Specific loci that show up during KARYOTYPING as a gap (an uncondensed stretch in closer views) on a CHROMATID arm after culturing cells under specific conditions. These sites are associated with an increase in CHROMOSOME FRAGILITY. They are classified as common or rare, and by the specific culture conditions under which they develop. Fragile site loci are named by the letters "FRA" followed by a designation for the specific chromosome, and a letter which refers to which fragile site of that chromosome (e.g. FRAXA refers to fragile site A on the X chromosome. It is a rare, folic acid-sensitive fragile site associated with FRAGILE X SYNDROME.)

Array-CGH and quantitative PCR genetic analysis in a case with bilateral hypoplasia of pulmonary arteries and lungs and simultaneous unilateral renal agenesis. (3/99)

We describe the clinical course and have characterised anatomically and genetically a unique case of a newborn with bilateral hypoplasia of pulmonary arteries, consecutive extremely hypoplastic lung tissue and associated unilateral renal agenesis. Intrauterine oxygenation by the placenta seemed to have allowed normotrophic body maturity but immediately after delivery, in the third trimester, progressive hypoxemia developed and the newborn succumbed to acute respiratory failure. Genetic analysis by array-based comparative genomic hybridisation and quantitative PCR revealed duplication of 1p21, which, however, might not be the disease causing aberration. This case might represent an extreme form of previously reported, rare cases with simultaneous dysorganogenesis of lungs and kidneys.  (+info)

MIRA-SNuPE, a quantitative, multiplex method for measuring allele-specific DNA methylation. (4/99)

5-methyl-C (5mC) and 5-hydroxymethyl-C (5hmC) are epigenetic marks with well known and putative roles in gene regulation, respectively. These two DNA covalent modifications cannot be distinguished by bisulfite sequencing or restriction digestion, the standard methods of 5mC detection. The methylated CpG island recovery assay (MIRA), however, specifically detects 5mC but not 5hmC. We further developed MIRA for the analysis of allele-specific CpG methylation at differentially methylated regions (DMRs) of imprinted genes. MIRA specifically distinguished between the parental alleles by capturing the paternally methylated H19/Igf2 DMR and maternally methylated KvDMR1 in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) carrying paternal and maternal duplication of mouse distal Chr7, respectively. MIRA in combination with multiplex single nucleotide primer extension (SNuPE) assays specifically captured the methylated parental allele from normal cells at a set of maternally and paternally methylated DMRs. The assay correctly recognized aberrant biallelic methylation in a case of loss-of imprinting. The MIRA-SNuPE assays revealed that placenta exhibited less DNA methylation bias at DMRs compared to yolk sac, amnion, brain, heart, kidney, liver and muscle. This method should be useful for the analysis of allele-specific methylation events related to genomic imprinting, X chromosome inactivation and for verifying and screening haplotype-associated methylation differences in the human population.  (+info)

Abstract: Abstract Background The inability to analyze gene expression in living neurons from Angelman (AS) and Duplication 15q (Dup15q) syndrome subjects has limited our understanding of these disorders at the molecular level. Method Here, we use dental pulp stem cells (DPSC) from AS deletion, 15q Duplication, and neurotypical control subjects for whole transcriptome analysis. We identified 20 genes unique to AS neurons, 120 genes unique to 15q duplication, and 3 shared transcripts that were differentially expressed in DPSC neurons vs controls. Results Copy number correlated with gene expression for most genes across the 15q11.2-q13.1 critical region. Two thirds of the genes differentially expressed in 15q duplication neurons were downregulated compared to controls including several transcription factors, while in AS differential expression was restricted primarily to the 15q region. Here, we show significant downregulation of the transcription factors FOXO1 and HAND2 in neurons from 15q ...

The first hints of the complex organization of the maize genome came from cytological studies. Although maize is diploid, early studies by McClintock (3, 4) demonstrated the association of nonhomologous chromosomes during meiosis. Later studies documented the formation of bivalents and multivalents in maize haploids (5, 6). Altogether, cytological observations suggested that the maize genome contains extensive regions of homology, probably reflecting chromosomal duplications.. Evidence for chromosomal duplication also came from linkage information. In 1951, Rhoades (7, 8) noted that some regions of linkage maps did not contain mutants, and he proposed that the lack of mutants reflected genetic redundancy caused by chromosomal duplication. Rhoades proposal has since been supported by molecular data. For example, isozyme studies have documented the presence of duplicated, linked loci in maize (9-12), and restriction fragment length polymorphism mapping studies have shown that many markers map to ...

In the last years pioneer studies have presented first analysis methods for genome data in a disease context. Several data quality control and statistical methods are now well established and more and more data is available for application. This weeks studies point out the importance of thinking outside the box as well as data dissecting from a different perspective.. Ohnologs and CNVs. Is a specific class of genes overrepresented in large recurrent pathogenic CNVs? Using an evolutionary genetic approach, McLysaght and colleagues demonstrate that ohnologs are overrepresented in pathogenic CNVs in their recent PNAS study. Ohnologs are genes retained after ancestral whole-genome duplication events. McLysaght and colleagues suggest that ohnologs represent critical dosage-sensitive elements of the genome and are possibly responsible for some of the deleterious phenotypes observed for pathogenic CNVs. In the field of epilepsy genetics, we usually identify a huge amount of truncating mutations in an ...

In many organisms descended from polyploid ancestors (shown in the figure below), ohnologs are associated with unique evolutionary innovations. For example, ohnologs are known to be associated with signaling pathways and developmental genes in vertebrates and most likely facilitated increased genomic, morphological and developmental complexity of vertebrates. In addition, ohnologs have been shown to present an enhanced susceptibility to deleterious mutations and are frequently associated with cancer and other genetic diseases. Therefore, these evolutionary observations also hold predictive power to identify and prioritize disease gene candidates and driver mutations in the NGS studies to sequence cancer genomes.. ...
Mice who inherit a particular chromosomal duplication from their fathers show many behaviors associated with human autism, researchers report in the June 26th issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press Publication. The duplicated chromosomal region in mice is the equivalent of human chromosome 15q11-13, the most frequent cytogenetic abnormality observed in autism, accounting for some five percent of all cases.. The engineered mice validate the human chromosome abnormality as one cause of the disease, the researchers said. They will also serve as an invaluable tool for therapeutic development. We know several mice as putative models of autism, which show face validity that they are similar to human patients, said Toru Takumi of Hiroshima University in Japan. In addition to these similar phenotypes, our mice have construct validity, meaning that their symptoms are traced to the same biological cause.. Autism is a common and heterogeneous neuropsychiatric disorder with manifestations of impaired ...
Microdeletions and microduplications in the genome are caused by chromosome misalignment between blocks of region‐specific low copy repeats and result in genomic disorders
Translocated chromosomal duplications occur spontaneously in many organisms; segmental duplications of large chromosomal regions are expected to result in phenotypic changes because of gene dosage effects. Therefore, experimentally generated segmental duplications in targeted chromosomal regions can be used to study phenotypic changes and determine the functions of unknown genes in these regions. Previously, we performed tandem duplication of a targeted chromosomal segment in Aspergillus oryzae. However, in tandem chromosomal duplication, duplication of chromosomal ends and multiple chromosomal duplication are difficult. In this study, we aimed to generate fungal strains with a translocated duplication or triplication of a targeted chromosomal region via break-induced replication. Double-strand breaks were introduced into chromosomes of parental strains by treating protoplast cells with I-SceI meganuclease. Subsequently, strains were generated by nonreciprocal translocation of a 1.4-Mb duplicated region

Interstitial deletions of 3q29 have been recently described as a microdeletion syndrome mediated by nonallelic homologous recombination between low-copy repeats resulting in an ~1.6 Mb common-sized deletion. Given the molecular mechanism causing the deletion, the reciprocal duplication is anticipated to occur with equal frequency, although only one family with this duplication has been reported. In this study we describe 14 individuals with microdeletions of 3q29, including one family with a mildly affected mother and two affected children, identified among 14,698 individuals with idiopathic mental retardation who were analyzed by array CGH. Eleven individuals had typical 1.6-Mb deletions. Three individuals had deletions that flank, span, or partially overlap the commonly deleted region. Although the clinical presentations of individuals with typical-sized deletions varied, several features were present in multiple individuals, including mental retardation and microcephaly. We also identified 19
Abnormalities in chromosomal copy number (or aneuploidies) often lead to cancer (Davoli et al. 2013; Potapova et al. 2013; Sheltzer 2013; Durrbaum and Storchova 2015, 2016; Laubert et al. 2015; Mohr et al. 2015; Nicholson and Cimini 2015; Pinto et al. 2015; Santaguida and Amon 2015), developmental defects (Ottesen et al. 2010; Gannon et al. 2011; Siegel and Amon 2012; Akasaka et al. 2013; Bose et al. 2015), premature aging (Andriani et al. 2016; Sunshine et al. 2016), and other health issues in humans. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, aneuploidies also tend to be deleterious (Torres et al. 2007; Yona et al. 2012; Potapova et al. 2013; Dodgson et al. 2016; Sunshine et al. 2016). However, in some cases, these aneuploidies are conditionally beneficial, as they can enable yeast to tolerate specific loss-of-function mutations or environmental stresses (Selmecki et al. 2009, 2015; Pavelka et al. 2010; Chen et al. 2012a,b; Yona et al. 2012; Tan et al. 2013; Kaya et al. 2015; Liu et al. ...

Although radiation-induced chromosome exchanges are not distributed among cells according to a Poisson distribution, chromatid interchanges are. In Vicia faba the lack of fit to a Poisson distribution has been attributed to the occurrence of only two sites per cell where the chromosomes are close enough to form exchanges if broken. When chromatid aberrations are induced, after chromosomal duplication, the number of sites more than doubles. ...
A paediatric microarray is specifically looking for CNVs that affect health. A microarray is an appropriate test for the investigation of genetic causes of intellectual disability, developmental and behavioural conditions such as autism spectrum disorders, congenital malformations and for some familial genetic conditions. A microarray detects the likely cause of developmental problems in about 15% of referrals.. A microarray replaces most tests looking at microdeletion and microduplication syndromes (eg Di-George syndrome), but does not replace all other genetic investigations. Tests with complex genetics, like fragile X syndrome, need to be requested and performed separately. For specific information on microarray testing, please contact the laboratory.. Parental microarray testing is often required and may be used to help determine the significance of some CNVs, where the clinical significance is yet to be fully determined.. ...
We found evidence for an interaction between genetic, environmental and epigenetic risk factors for autism last year. Postmortem brain tissue from people with a duplication of DNA on chromosome 15 contains unusually high levels of a pollutant known as PCB 957. This chromosomal duplication is associated with autism. PCB 95 comes mostly from dietary sources such as fish, dairy and meat. And it accumulates in fatty tissues, including the brain.. We tested the effects of the duplication by itself and in combination with PCB 95 exposure in a human neuronal cell line. We found that certain genes have fewer methyl groups than expected in neurons with the duplication. Some of these genes are similarly under-methylated in neurons exposed to PCB 95 alone.. When we exposed neurons with the duplication to PCB 95, we saw a dearth of methyl groups for even more genes. Some of the neurons spontaneously acquired a second duplication in chromosomal region 22q. These neurons had the lowest proportion of ...

BACKGROUND: Increased secretion of growth hormone leads to gigantism in children and acromegaly in adults; the genetic causes of gigantism and acromegaly are poorly understood.. METHODS: We performed clinical and genetic studies of samples obtained from 43 patients with gigantism and then sequenced an implicated gene in samples from 248 patients with acromegaly.. RESULTS: We observed microduplication on chromosome Xq26.3 in samples from 13 patients with gigantism; of these samples, 4 were obtained from members of two unrelated kindreds, and 9 were from patients with sporadic cases. All the patients had disease onset during early childhood. Of the patients with gigantism who did not carry an Xq26.3 microduplication, none presented before the age of 5 years. Genomic characterization of the Xq26.3 region suggests that the microduplications are generated during chromosome replication and that they contain four protein-coding genes. Only one of these genes, GPR101, which encodes a G-protein-coupled ...

Gene duplication (or chromosomal duplication or gene amplification) is a major mechanism through which new genetic material is generated during molecular evolution. It can be defined as any duplication of a region of DNA that contains a gene. Gene duplications can arise as products of several types of errors in DNA replication and repair machinery as well as through fortuitous capture by selfish genetic elements. Common sources of gene duplications include ectopic recombination, retrotransposition event, aneuploidy, polyploidy, and replication slippage. Duplications arise from an event termed unequal crossing-over that occurs during meiosis between misaligned homologous chromosomes.The chance of this happening is a function of the degree of sharing of repetitive elements between two chromosomes. The products of this recombination are a duplication at the site of the exchange and a reciprocal deletion. Ectopic recombination is typically mediated by sequence similarity at the duplicate ...

XLAG is a novel genetic cause of GH excess. It usually presents at a very early age as a sporadic disease due to a de novo microduplication on the X chromosome involving the GPR101 gene in patients with gigantism (40-42). The majority of the cases are females with germline microduplication (14, 40, 42). Two familial cases have been described with transmission from affected mother to an affected son and show full penetrance (14). Somatic mosaic mutation cases have also been described in males where the mutation was identified in the pituitary tissue and/or at low level in germline (18, 41, 42). Although the originally identified Xq26.3 duplicated area involves four genes (14), only one of these, the GPR101 gene, has been found upregulated at the mRNA level in pituitary tissue. We have recently identified a patient with XLAG whose duplicated area includes only the GPR101 gene, but not the other three genes, indicating the pathogenic role of GPR101 (14, 42). Activation of GPR101, an orphan Gs ...

Background Previous reports indicate an association between autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and disorders of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. One study suggested that children with both diagnoses are clinically indistinguishable from children with idiopathic autism. There are, however, no detailed analyses of the clinical and laboratory findings in a large cohort of these children. Therefore, we undertook a comprehensive review of patients with ASD and a mitochondrial disorder. Methodology/Principal Findings We reviewed medical records of 25 patients with a primary diagnosis of ASD by DSM-IV-TR criteria, later determined to have enzyme- or mutation-defined mitochondrial electron transport chain (ETC) dysfunction. Twenty-four of 25 patients had one or more major clinical abnormalities uncommon in idiopathic autism. Twenty-one patients had histories of significant non-neurological medical problems. Nineteen patients exhibited constitutional symptoms, especially excessive fatigability. Fifteen
PURPOSE: Mutations in murine and human versions of an ancestrally related gene usually result in similar phenotypes. However, interspecies differences exist, and in the case of two forkhead transcription factor genes (FOXC1 and FOXC2), these differences include corneal or anterior segment phenotypes, respectively. This study was undertaken to determine whether such discrepancies provide an opportunity for identifying novel human-murine ocular phenotypes. METHODS: Four pedigrees with early-onset glaucoma phenotypes secondary to segmental chromosomal duplications or deletions encompassing FOXC1 and 18 individuals from 9 FOXC2 mutation pedigrees underwent detailed ocular phenotyping. Subsequently, mice with mutations in Foxc1 or a related forkhead gene, Foxe3, were assessed for features of the human phenotypes. RESULTS: A significant increase in central corneal thickness was present in affected individuals from the segmental duplication pedigrees compared with their unaffected relatives (mean
GABAergic. Lets start out with a provocative statement. There is a single gene that may explain more cases of Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome (LGS) and Infantile Spasms (IS) than you would expect, rivalling SCN1A for the most common gene found in this group of patients. Its a gene that you are probably aware of but that you may think to be a very rare finding. In a recent publication in Annals of Neurology, the Epi4K consortium published their recent analysis of copy number variations that were derived from exome data. Combining de novo mutations and copy number variations points to GABRB3 as a major player in LGS and IS, explaining probably more than 2% of patients. Lets find out about the twilight zone, strategies to obtain structural variants from exomes, and the re-emergence of the 15q duplication syndrome. Continue reading →. ...

Background: Genome-wide high resolution array analysis is becoming established as a diagnostic test in the investigation of individuals with learning disability and congenital anomalies; many novel microdeletion and microduplication syndromes have already been identified. The diagnostic use of high resolution array genomic hybridisation analysis for prenatal testing remains to be systematically assessed.. Methods: We studied 106 prenatal samples with abnormal ultrasound and a normal karyotype using the Affymetrix GeneChip 6.0 array. Rare DNA copy number variations (CNVs) were classified into three groups depending on their size, genomic location and the presence or absence of matched copy number changes in a large cohort of 3000 control samples analysed for copy number changes using genotyping arrays.. Results: A total of 35 rare CNVs were identified. 10 (9%) of these are considered likely to represent pathogenic CNVs; 5 were syndromic and 5 were novel. 12 CNVs were detected in at least one ...
There are at least 16 genes within the common overlapping region. A few of these genes are expressed in the central nervous system and/or likely to be dosage sensitive, or reported to be associated with disease by animal studies. These genes could be candidate genes for patients with deletion or duplication in this region.. The transcription factor gene (SP1) is most likely to be dosage sensitive (haploinsufficiency score: 0.81%) [DECIPHER]. The protein encoded by the SP1 gene is a zinc finger transcription factor that binds to GC-rich motifs of many promoters and is then involved in a variety of cellular processes such as cell growth, apoptosis, differentiation and immune responses, DNA damage response, and chromatin remodeling (provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014). The SP7 gene (haploinsufficiency score: 14.4%) encodes a bone specific transcription factor (osterix) which regulates osteogenesis and bone formation during embryonic development [8]. Niger et al. [9] reported that the activity of osterix ...

3. There are genetic and epigenetic factors that can trigger autism. Shank mutations are responsible for idiopathic autism spectrum disorders (ASD) both in humans and in mice. This confirms an earlier study from 2006 in France where Shank 3 gene mutations were found in human autism cases. Recently research from Stanford University identified another genetic mutation, namely neuroligin-3 amino acid substitution and a neuroligin-3 deletion, which can be responsible for autism in mice. Epigenetic switches play an important role in the placenta, which according to research from the University of British Columbia, Vancouver/BC is likely the key for understanding autism. Another publication also stresses the importance of epigenetic switches in the development of autism. Stress during pregnancy can lead to changes in placental biochemical pathways, which causes prenatal epigenetic programming in the direction of autism. More research will be done regarding genetic causes of autism. However, it appears ...

Results Large duplications involving one complete domain or both domains are associated with either SRS or BWS, depending on the parental origin of the duplication. Genotype-phenotype correlation studies of partial duplications within the telomeric domain demonstrate the prominent role of IGF2, rather than H19, in the control of growth. Furthermore, it highlights the role of CDKN1C within the centromeric domain and suggests that the expected overexpression of KCNQ1OT1 from the paternal allele (in partial paternal duplications, excluding CDKN1C) does not affect the expression of CDKN1C. ...
