Molecular genetics of human chromosome 21.
Chromosome 21 is the smallest autosome, comprising only about 1.9% of human DNA, but represents one of the most intensively studied regions of the genome. Much of the interest in chromosome 21 can be attributed to its association with Down's syndrome, a genetic disorder that afflicts one in every 700 to 1000 newborns. Although only 17 genes have been assigned to chromosome 21, a very large numb...
متن کاملMolecular Genetics of Chromosome 21 and Down Syndrome
is the willingness of the discussants to confront these issues head on, to talk about germline therapy versus embryo selection, the possible implications of manipulation of genes for intelligence, the beliefs of various religious faiths, and other issues of similar high emotional content. One almost feels that the discussion is more open than would occur in some "politically correct" U.S. venue...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of human chromosome 4.
The recent discovery that the gene causing Huntington's disease (HD) resides on chromosome 4 has generated increased interest in this autosome. Chromosome 4 contains two of the more informative conventional genetic markers, GC and MNS, but most loci have been assigned to it by recombinant DNA techniques. There are currently more anonymous DNA fragments detecting restriction fragment length poly...
