Autistic disorder associated with a paternally derived unbalanced translocation leading to duplication of chromosome 15pter-q13.2: a case report

open access: yesMolecular Cytogenetics, 2009
Autism spectrum disorders have been associated with maternally derived duplications that involve the imprinted region on the proximal long arm of chromosome 15.

Disorders caused by chromosome abnormalities

open access: yesThe Application of Clinical Genetics, 2010
Many human genetic disorders result from unbalanced chromosome abnormalities, in which there is a net gain or loss of genetic material. Such imbalances often disrupt large numbers of dosage-sensitive, developmentally important genes and result in specific and complex phenotypes.

Heterozygous Deletion of the SHOX Gene Enhancer in two Females With Clinical Heterogeneity Associating With Skewed XCI and Escaping XCI

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
Skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) plays an important role in the phenotypic heterogeneity of X-linked disorders. However, the role of skewed XCI in XCI-escaping gene SHOX regulation is unclear.

Prenatal Diagnosis of a Fetus with Partial Duplication and Deletion of Chromosome 18 Due to Maternal Pericentric Inversion 18

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medical Students, 2022
The phenotype of structural chromosome 18 mutations is heterogenous, the clinical manifestations may range from mild to severe, they have been widely studied in the literature, however, there are few cases where two or more mutations are present in the ...

Sex: A Significant Risk Factor for Neurodevelopmental and Neurodegenerative Disorders

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2018
Males and females sometimes significantly differ in their propensity to develop neurological disorders. Females suffer more from mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, whereas males are more susceptible to deficits in the dopamine system ...

Animal Models of Psychiatric Disorders That Reflect Human Copy Number Variation

open access: yesNeural Plasticity, 2012
The development of genetic technologies has led to the identification of several copy number variations (CNVs) in the human genome. Genome rearrangements affect dosage-sensitive gene expression in normal brain development.

Chromosome 15 structural abnormalities: effect on IGF1R gene expression and function

open access: yesEndocrine Connections, 2017
Insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF1R), mapping on the 15q26.3 chromosome, is required for normal embryonic and postnatal growth. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the IGF1R gene expression and function in three unrelated patients with ...

Epigenetics and autoimmune diseases: The X chromosome-nucleolus nexus

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2015
Autoimmune diseases occur more often in females, suggesting a key role for the X chromosome. X chromosome inactivation, a major epigenetic feature in female cells that provides dosage compensation of X-linked genes to avoid overexpression, presents ...
