Here we report mutations in two X-linked genes encoding neuroligins NLGN3 and NLGN4 in siblings with autism-spectrum disorders. These mutations affect cell-adhesion molecules localized at the synapse and suggest that a defect of synaptogenesis may predispose to autism. This is a preview of ...
The role of X-inactivation is often ignored as a prime cause of sex differences in disease. Yet, the way males and females express their X-linked genes has a major role in the dissimilar phenotypes that underlie many rare and common disorders, such as intellectual deficiency, epilepsy, congeni...
Genetics is the branch of science concerned with genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms. It seeks to understand the process of trait inheritance from parents to offspring, including the molecular structure and function of genes, gene behaviour in the context of a cell or organism (e...

Furthermore, X-linked multicopy genes exhibit a similar degree of expression as autosomal genes. Thus, not only is the mouse X chromosome enriched for spermatogenesis genes functioning before meiosis, but in addition, ∼18% of mouse X-linked genes are expressed in postmeiotic cells. This is ...

Like autosomal recessive conditions, the X-linked conditions screened do not overlap across the molecular testing laboratories. In fact, some carrier panels on the market contain genes associated with conditions that have a prevalence of 1 in 3,500 while others a condition with a prevalence less ...
One method is upregulation of X-linked genes [16]. In humans, one of the female copies of the X chromosome is silenced during embryogenesis to achieve dosage compensation during a process called X chromosome inactivation [6] (Fig. 1B). The X-linked gene XIST is expressed from the ...
