Current status of human chromosome 14.
Over the past three decades, extensive genetic, physical, transcript, and sequence maps have assisted in the mapping of over 30 genetic diseases and in the identification of over 550 genes on human chromosome 14. Additional genetic disorders were assigned to chromosome 14 by studying either constitutional or acquired chromosome aberrations of affected subjects. Studies of benign and malignant t...
متن کاملEpigenetic inheritance associated with human chromosome 14.
Within the last decade, there has been sufficient evidence to support the association of epigenetic inheritance or genomic imprinting on human chromosome 14. This has been achieved with studies of imprinting on both human chromosome 14 and mouse chromosome 12, which has the largest homology to human chromosome 14. Initial studies with mouse chromosome 12 aberrations suggested that specific phen...
متن کاملHuman reproduction: current status.
The concern about the maintenance of the human species has existed since the earliest civilizations. Progress in the diagnosis and treatment of infertility has led to the development of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) which, along with the evolution of genetics and molecular biology studies, have contributed in a concrete way to the management of infertile couples. Classic in vitro ferti...
متن کاملEpigenetic detection of human chromosome 14 uniparental disomy.
The recent demonstration of genomic imprinting of DLK1 and MEG3 on human chromosome 14q32 indicates that these genes might contribute to the discordant phenotypes associated with uniparental disomy (UPD) of chromosome 14. Regulation of imprinted expression of DLK1 and MEG3 involves a differentially methylated region (DMR) that encompasses the MEG3 promoter. We exploited the normal differential ...
متن کاملSomatic rearrangement of chromosome 14 in human lymphocytes.
Ataxia-telangiectasia is a rare genetic disorder associated with immune deficiency, chromosome instability, and a predisposition to lymphoid malignancy. We have detected chromosomally anomalous clones of lymphocytes in eight patients with this disorder. Chromosome banding disclosed that the clones are consistently marked by structural rearrangement of the long arm (q) of chromosome 14. A transl...
