Disease relevance of Chromosomes

 

Psychiatry related information on Chromosomes

 

High impact information on Chromosomes

  • NKR-P1 and Ly-49 are structurally related, and they are encoded by genetically linked loci in a chromosomal region, termed the NK gene complex (NKC), on distal mouse chromosome 6 [11].
  • The gld gene is located on chromosome 1; its product is also unknown [12].
  • In vivo, de novo synthesis of one strand of a telomeric repeat sequence by telomerase balances the sequence loss resulting from incomplete replication of linear chromosome ends by RNA primer-requiring DNA polymerases [13].
  • Now the three phenotypes have been shown to be due to alleles controlling the expression of three sets of VH genes all present on the same chromosome [14].
  • To elucidate the functions of evolutionarily conserved retrotransposon-derived genes in mammalian development, we produced mice that lack one of these genes, Peg10 (paternally expressed 10), which is a paternally expressed imprinted gene on mouse proximal chromosome 6 [15].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Chromosomes

 

Biological context of Chromosomes

  • By immobilizing thousands of intact chromosome molecules within a polyacrylamide gel on a microscope slide and performing multiple amplifications from single molecules, we determined long-range haplotypes spanning a 153-Mb region of human chromosome 7 and found evidence of rare mitotic recombination events in human lymphocytes [21].
  • Genetic changes in skin tumor progression: correlation between presence of a mutant ras gene and loss of heterozygosity on mouse chromosome 7 [22].
  • Using the technology of metaphase chromosome transfer, evidence has been obtained in CHO cells that genes controlling enzymes in a common pathway in folate metabolism are closely linked [23].
  • ATP activates dnaA protein in initiating replication of plasmids bearing the origin of the E. coli chromosome [24].
  • The non-P sequences in this clone (lambda DmRpII-1) hybridize to polytene chromosome band region 10C, the cytogenetic location of RpIIC4, and revertants which lose the lethal RNA polymerase II mutation also lose P element sequences from the locus [25].
 

Anatomical context of Chromosomes

 

Associations of Chromosomes with chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Chromosomes

  • The ribonucleoprotein enzyme telomerase synthesizes telomeric DNA onto chromosome ends [35].
  • Usually, CMT1A is caused by the duplication of a 1.5-megabase (Mb) region on chromosome 17p11.2-p12 containing PMP22 [36].
  • A chimaeric protein is synthesized from one of the derivative chromosomes that contains the N terminus of the AML1 transcription factor, including its DNA-binding domain, fused to most of ETO, a protein of unknown function [37].
  • An earlier age at onset has also been demonstrated in familial AD patients with mutations in the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene (APP717 and APP670/671)13 carrying the APOE epsilon-4 allele compared to those who do not, but not in familial AD patients with APP692 or 693 mutations, or in chromosome 14-linked familial AD patients [38].
  • The complete BRCA2 gene and mutations in chromosome 13q-linked kindreds [39].
