Variability among individuals in the severity of fragile X syndrome (FXS) is influenced by epigenetic methylation mosaicism, which may also be common in other complex disorders. The epigenetic signal of dense promoter DNA methylation is usually associated with gene silencing, as was initially reported for FMR1 alleles in individuals with FXS. A paradox arose when significant levels of FMR1 mRNA...
The basidiome stage of Armillaria gallica can be a genetic mosaic. Ten cells isolated from a single basidiome in 1986 produced nine different genotypes when analyzed for variation at six nuclear loci. Four additional basidiomes collected in 1986 produced mosaic patterns when analyzed for variation at a single nuclear (PCR-RFLP) locus. One basidiome collected in 1993 was not a genetic mosaic bec...
Juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML) is a rare pediatric myeloid neoplasm characterized by excessive proliferation of myelomonocytic cells. Somatic mutations in genes involved in GM-CSF signal transduction, such as NRAS, KRAS, PTPN11, NF1, and CBL, have been identified in more than 70% of children with JMML. In the present study, we report 2 patients with somatic mosaicism for oncogenic NRAS...
We model direct fitness benefits of genetic mosaicism for a long-lived tree in coevolution with a short-lived herbivore to test four hypotheses: that mosaicism reduces selection on the herbivore for resistance to plant defenses; that module-level selection allows the individual tree to adapt to its herbivore; and that this benefits the tree population, increasing average tree fitness and reduci...
Parental mosaicism for trisomy-21 is a recognized reason for the birth of mongol children, and the possibility of parental mosaicism may be suspected especially in couples who produce more than one 'regular' mongol. However, in a recent review, Richards (1970) found only 11 documented instances of this occurrence. We wish to describe another woman in whom mosaicism was suspected clinically but ...
Infertile men with azoospermia commonly have associated microdeletions in the azoospermia factor (AZF) region of the Y chromosome, sex chromosome mosaicism, or sex chromosome rearrangements. In this study, we describe an unusual 46,XX and 45,X mosaicism with a rare Y chromosome rearrangement in a phenotypically normal male patient. The patient's karyotype was 46,XX[50]/45,X[25]/46,X,der(Y)(pter...
Analyses of genome-wide association study (GWAS) data have revealed that detectable genetic mosaicism involving large (>2 Mb) structural autosomal alterations occurs in a fraction of individuals. We present results for a set of 24,849 genotyped individuals (total GWAS set II [TGSII]) in whom 341 large autosomal abnormalities were observed in 168 (0.68%) individuals. Merging data from the new TG...
We describe a 13-year-old boy with developmental delay and proximal muscle weakness who has monosomy 20 mosaicism in blood and skin cells. Because of asymmetric features (difference in foot size, slightly asymmetric intergluteal cleft), we performed extensive cytogenetic studies in peripheral blood and skin. In cultured and uncultured blood lymphocytes, we found 0.9 and 6.5% of cells with monos...
Background. Noninvasive prenatal screening (NIPS) is revolutionizing prenatal screening as a result of its increased sensitivity, specificity. NIPS analyzes cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) circulating in maternal plasma to detect fetal chromosome abnormalities. However, cffDNA originates from apoptotic placental trophoblast; therefore cffDNA is not always representative of the fetus. Although the ...
In 288 Dutch and Belgian Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy families, the parental origin of 41 new deletion or duplication mutations was determined. Twenty seven of the new mutations occurred in the maternal X chromosome and nine in the grandmaternal and five in the grandpaternal X chromosome. The grandparental data are compatible with equal mutation rates for DMD in male and female X chro...
