A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of the Birth Prevalence of Turner Syndrome

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Turner syndrome, a chromosomal disorder, causes short stature, pubertal arrest, amenorrhea, and infertility in females. Prevalence estimates vary widely; however, reliable estimates are important for public health initiatives. Therefore, a meta‐analysis was undertaken.

New Insights Into Changes in the DNA Methylation Pattern of the SHOX Gene in Patients With Léri‐Weill Dyschondrosteosis

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT SHOX gene haploinsufficiency is associated with Léri‐Weill dyschondrosteosis (LWD) or idiopathic short stature (ISS) and could be caused by the structural and point mutations in the coding region and by the deletions in SHOX gene regulatory sequences. The role of the duplications in regulatory sequences is ambivalent.

Chromosome‐aberration tests

Food Additives & Contaminants, 1984
Three points related to the subject of chromosome-aberration tests and carcinogenicity screening are dealt with in this paper. First, the relation between chromosome rearrangements and oncogenesis is briefly discussed, to stress the relevance of cytogenetic assays to assessment of the carcinogenic potential of drugs.

X Chromosome Aberrations

1999
Abstract In this chapter we consider gonadal maldevelopment caused by X-chromosome aberrations. As in Chapter 5, “gonadal maldevelopment” is defined broadly so that it includes defective spermatogenesis due to an extra X chromosome in XXY males and gonadal dysgenesis due to accelerated oocyte attrition in XO females. These two conditions,

Autosomal Chromosome Aberrations

1976
Prior to the introduction of cytogenetic techniques in human medicine some 15 years ago, only a single chromosome aberration syndrome, Down’s syndrome, was known clinically, but its etiology was still unclear. By direct chromosome examination, it was later shown that the clinical picture of Down’s syndrome is caused by the presence of an additional No.

Chromosome Aberrations and Cancer

Science, 1991
Cancer may be defined as a progressive series of genetic events that occur in a single clone of cells because of alterations in a limited number of specific genes: the oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes. The association of consistent chromosome aberrations with particular types of cancer has led to the identification of some of these genes and the ...
