TMEM240 mutations cause spinocerebellar ataxia 21 with mental retardation and severe cognitive impairment [PDF]
Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia corresponds to a clinically and genetically heterogeneous group of neurodegenerative disorders that primarily affect the cerebellum. Here, we report the identification of the causative gene in spinocerebellar ataxia 21, an autosomal-dominant disorder previously mapped to chromosome 7p21.3-p15.1.

A paradigmatic autistic phenotype associated with loss of PCDH11Y and NLGN4Y genes
Background Most studies relative to Y chromosome abnormalities are focused on the sexual developmental disorders. Recently, a few studies suggest that some genes located on Y chromosome may be related to different neurodevelopment disorders.

The Relationship between Skewed X-chromosome Inactivation and Neurological Disorders Development
X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a process by which one of the copies of the X chromosome in mammalian female cells is inactivated. The XCI causes a balanced X-linked gene quantity between male and females; moreover, it results mosaic females which ...

Deep Anomaly Generation: An Image Translation Approach of Synthesizing Abnormal Banded Chromosome Images [PDF]
Advances in deep-learning-based pipelines have led to breakthroughs in a variety of microscopy image diagnostics. However, a sufficiently big training data set is usually difficult to obtain due to high annotation costs. In the case of banded chromosome images, the creation of big enough libraries is difficult for multiple pathologies due to the rarity

Large scale chromosome folding is stable against local changes in chromatin structure [PDF]
Characterizing the link between small-scale chromatin structure and large-scale chromosome folding during interphase is a prerequisite for understanding transcription. Yet, this link remains poorly investigated. Here, we introduce a simple biophysical model where interphase chromosomes are described in terms of the folding of chromatin sequences ...

Information Measures for Long-Range Correlated Sequences: the Case of the 24 Human Chromosome Sequences [PDF]
A new approach to estimate the Shannon entropy of a long-range correlated sequence is proposed. The entropy is written as the sum of two terms corresponding respectively to power-law (\emph{ordered}) and exponentially (\emph{disordered}) distributed blocks (clusters).
