Colour blindness “Daltonism”, which affects 8% of the male population, is a leading example for teaching X-linked recessive disease (Fig. 1). This simple model works well most of the time, with the main blue
The genetic basis for taster status has been traced to alleles of the human TAS2R38 gene (Bufe et al., 2005; Hayes et al., 2008; Timpson et al., 2007). Supertasters also exhibit an enhanced response to the other basic tastes (Bartoshuk, 2000), and, what is more, they experienc...
42, 43 Similar to yeast, treatment with arsenite as well as treatment with reversine, a drug that induces chromosome mis-segregation, showed increased ribophagic flux, which in both cases was strictly dependent on the core-autophagy machinery protein Atg5.33, 44 In yeast, the receptor that ...
Since the 1990s, results coming in from molecular phylogenetics necessitate us to recognize that Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT) occurs massively across all three domains of life. Nonetheless, many of the mechanisms whereby genes can become transferred la
(Petrov et al., 1995), which have been demonstrated to be associated to the Penelope TE by a mechanism in which mobilization of a single element triggers that of others, perhaps through chromosome break- age or for the supply of the proteins necessary for transposition (Evgen'ev et al., ...
(Kim et al.2015; McDonald et al.2020; Pawlikowska et al.2018; Brinjikji et al.2017a; Govani and Shovlin2009). In addition, a mutation of the SMAD4 gene on chromosome 18 (tumor suppressor gene that mediates TGF-beta) is associated with a combination syndrome involving both juvenile ...
However, the action of miRNAs on their mRNA targets is difficult to characterize, because each miRNA has multiple mRNA targets and vice versa; therefore, the correct identification of an interaction remains a challenge. The way to address this problem is usually through prediction and subsequent ...
The disorder is associated with loss of the tumor suppressor SMARCB1/INI1/SNF5/BAF47 on chromosome 22q11 due to either heterozygous germline deletions or somatic mutations. Figure 6. 40× Rhaboid tumor. Very atypical large cells. Outcome Rhabdoid tumors have the lowest survival rate (1 out...

and periodic acid Schiff-positive hyaline cytoplasmic inclusions (Figure 6). Loss of immunoreactivity for INI1 is a distinguishing (but not pathognomonic) feature of MRT. The disorder is associated with loss of the tumor suppressor SMARCB1/INI1/SNF5/BAF47 on chromosome 22q11 due to either hete...
