And because the stretch of mtDNA which is most prone to deletion mutations during aging encodes machinery that is essential to protein synthesis from any mitochondrial genes, the most common deletion seen in the mtDNA of aging cells can render a mitochondrion unable to make a single one of the 13 mitochondrially-encoded proteins that are critical components of their energy-generating system. (sens.org)
Mitochondria with deletion mutations thus have a selective advantage over healthy or mildly damaged mitochondria, with the result that once even one mitochondrion suffers a deletion, its progeny quickly take over the entire cell. (sens.org)
Better understanding of new mutations and the wide range of possible phenotypes led to the development of a new nomenclature proposal, based on the gene and inheritance pattern. (medscape.com)

Some mutations in the S gene may lead to changes in the spike protein which result in inhibition of contact and entry of the virus into human cells, however in the case of the VOC, they contain mutations in the S gene that enhance the process of contact and entry into human cells, increasing transmissibility of the virus. (who.int)
Overall, these assays and approaches detect specific mutations or features such as insertions, deletions and point mutations in the SARS CoV-2 genome that are characteristic of a particular VOC/VOI using PCR. (who.int)
Currently, manufacturers are focusing on and targeting assays to mutations in the S gene. (who.int)

Duplications3
A highly diverse immune gene family of the sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus), called Sp185/333, is composed of clustered genes with similar sequence as well as several types of repeats ranging in size from short tandem repeats (STRs) to large segmental duplications. (iucc.ac.il)
GAT STRs are positioned at the edges of segmental duplications that include a subset of the genes. (iucc.ac.il)
The unique locations of the STRs suggest their involvement in gene deletions and segmental duplications. (iucc.ac.il)
Genome4
We describe six families harboring heterozygous deletions including, or near to, ERF, of which four were characterized by whole-genome sequencing and two by chromosomal microarray. (ox.ac.uk)
A PCR-based gene deletion strategy was used to generate deletions of each ORF in the yeast genome. (biocat.com)

Locus4
This deletion may be detected using cytogenetic techniques and can also be inferred from the phenotype, indicating a deletion at one specific locus. (umassmed.edu)
Cytogenetic, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), and loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) studies have revealed that MRTs frequently contain deletions at chromosome locus 22q11.1. (medscape.com)
Positional cloning efforts revealed that this locus contains the SWI/SNF related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily B, member 1 ( SMARCB1 ) gene, also known as human sucrose non-fermenting gene number 5 ( hSNF5 ), integrase interactor 1 ( INI1 ) , or 47-Kd Brg1/Bam -associated factor ( BAF47 ). (medscape.com)
Two of the gene clusters have almost identical flanking regions, suggesting that they may be non-matching allelic clusters residing at the same genomic locus. (iucc.ac.il)
Genomic4
Genomic profiling of the Sp185/333 gene diversity in 10 sea urchins shows that no gene repertoires are shared among individuals indicating a very high gene diversification rate for this family. (iucc.ac.il)
Conclusions: The repetitive genomic structure of the Sp185/333 family that includes STRs in strategic locations may serve as platform for a controlled mechanism which regulates the processes of gene recombination, gene conversion, duplication and deletion. (iucc.ac.il)
The outcome is genomic instability and allelic mismatches, which may further drive the swift diversification of the Sp185/333 gene family that may improve the immune fitness of the species. (iucc.ac.il)

Cancer3
We found that expression level of the isoform uc011aoc transcribed from the APOBEC3A/B chimera was associated with a greater burden of APOBEC-mutational signature only in breast cancer, while germline APOBEC3A/B deletion led to an increased expression level of uc011aoc in multiple cancer types. (biomedcentral.com)
Furthermore, we found that the deletion was associated with elevated APOBEC-mutational signature, neoantigen loads and relative composition of T cells (CD8+) in TILs only in breast cancer. (biomedcentral.com)
A common germline deletion covering the last intronic of APOBEC3A to the last exon of APOBEC3B (called APOBEC3A/B) is found to increase APOBEC-mutational signature in breast cancer, as a similar pattern driven by the elevated APOBEC3A or APOBEC3B expressions [ 3 ]. (biomedcentral.com)

Symptoms5
7p22 deletion - a deletion within the short arm of chromosome 7 - causes a number of symptoms, including developmental delay, intellectual disability, internal organ malformations (primarily within the heart and kidneys), and facial abnormalities. (chromodisorder.org)
The article hypothesizes that loss of ACTB causes the symptoms of the 7p22 deletion. (chromodisorder.org)
To test this idea, the study surveyed 33 individuals with loss of the ACTB gene (either from a 7p22 deletion, or from a mutation within the gene itself) and analyzed their clinical symptoms. (chromodisorder.org)
Although 7p22 deletions have been described previously, ACTB loss has not be proven to be the root of the symptoms. (chromodisorder.org)
