Disease relevance of sulfanylidenemercury

  • The significance of hypertelorism, obliquity of eyes, long palpebral fissures, blue scleras, depressed bridge of nose, and prominent upper vermilion border is discussed [1].
  • Despite substantial increases in total dissolved mercury concentration, methylation rates in cultures of Desulfovibrio desulfuricans ND132 equilibrated with cinnabar did not increase in the presence of polysulfides, as expected due to the large size and charged nature of most of the complexes [2].
  • Prominent physical features of the Aarskog syndrome are short stature, telecanthus, ptosis, short broad nose, long philtrum, thin upper vermilion border and pouty lower lip, low-set jug-handle ears, short broad hands with clawlike positioning of the fingers, broad feet with bulbous toes, ventral scrotal folds, cryptorchidism, and hernias [3].
  • CONCLUSION: Cleft lip mongolian spot appears in high incidence when the cleft goes beyond the vermilion border [4].
  • Results of radiotherapy for squamous cell carcinoma of the vermilion border of the lower lip. A retrospective analysis of 108 patients [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on sulfanylidenemercury

  • Findings present in at least 50% of reported patients include mental retardation, short stature, pubertal delay, an abnormal nose (usually beaked) with hypoplastic nasal alae, microstomia with narrow maxilla, thin upper lip vermilion, broad hips, small hands, joint limitation, short fingers and toes, and vertebral abnormalities [6].
  • RESULTS: The occlusion, vermilion border of the upper and lower lips separately, and the raters' occupations were all highly significant in influencing attractiveness, social perceptions, and perceived sex of the images (P < .01) [7].
 

High impact information on sulfanylidenemercury

  • TRPS I patients have sparse scalp hair, a bulbous tip of the nose, a long flat philtrum, a thin upper vermilion border and protruding ears [8].
  • We estimated DNA sequence variation within and between four populations of Drosophila ananassae at Om(1D) and vermilion (v) by using single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis and direct DNA sequencing [9].
  • The cn+ gene functioned as a semidominant transgene and segregated in Mendelian ratios [10].
  • All had severe type I lissencephaly with grossly normal cerebellum and a distinctive facial appearance consisting of prominent forehead, bitemporal hollowing, short nose with upturned nares, protuberant upper lip, thin vermilion border, and small jaw [11].
  • We surveyed sequence variation in four X-linked genes (runt, sevenless, Sex-lethal, and vermilion) that have been used in a parallel study in the closely related species D. melanogaster [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of sulfanylidenemercury

 

Biological context of sulfanylidenemercury

  • By contrast, mutants expressing a vermilion phenotype only in the F2 (F1 mosaics) all carried single bp changes [14].
  • Molecular genetic variation in the centromeric region of the X chromosome in three Drosophila ananassae populations. I. Contrasts between the vermilion and forked loci [15].
  • It is concluded that an eukaryotic in vivo system with no limitations for the recovery of multi-locus deletions, such as vermilion, should be used for the analysis of DNA damage induced by cross-linking agents [16].
  • Specific locus mutations generated in the vermilion gene by CEA under NER(-) conditions were almost exclusively base pair substitutions (93%) [17].
  • Furthermore, there were high levels of linkage disequilibrium in non-African samples, despite apparently high rates of crossing over in the vermilion region [18].

Associations of sulfanylidenemercury with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of sulfanylidenemercury

  • Loricrin, profilaggrin and filaggrin were present in the stratum granulosum of orthokeratinised sites, but expression was abruptly lost at the junction between the vermilion and the intermediate zone [27].
  • Involucrin, which was present at all sites, was restricted to the stratum granulosum in skin, but extended into the stratum spinosum, and gradually into parabasal keratinocytes, across the vermilion and mucosa [27].
  • Males with one of three recessive mutants: White, vermilion, or vestigial, competed with wild type males for females [28].
  • We have estimated DNA sequence variation within and between two populations of Drosophila ananassae, using six-cutter restriction site variation at vermilion (v) and furrowed (fw) [29].
  • The other essential segment lies between the crossveinless and vermilion loci and may contain multiple factors that influence the attachment process [30].
