Dicentric human X chromosomes [PDF]
Hereditas, 2009 Cytological findings in 5 individuals with structurally abnormal X chromosomes are presented. Of 4 patients with an i(Xq) chromosome, 2 had an apparently dicentric, and 2 an apparently monocentric isochromosome. The former type of chromosome had twice as much centric heterochromatin (2 distinct C-bands) as the latter.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Detection of extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) in plasma samples from EGFR‐mutated non‐small cell lung cancer patients. Plasma was collected before and during treatment with the EGFR‐tyrosine kinase inhibitor osimertinib. Plasma eccDNA was detected in all cancer samples, and the presence of the EGFR gene on eccDNA serves as a potential biomarker ...

Survivin and Aurora Kinase A control cell fate decisions during mitosis
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Aurora A interacts with survivin during mitosis and regulates its centromeric role. Loss of Aurora A activity mislocalises survivin, the CPC and BubR1, leading to disruption of the spindle checkpoint and triggering premature mitotic exit, which we refer to as ‘mitotic slippage’.

European Medical Journal, 2017 Many autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and Sjögren’s syndrome, have a female bias and adult onset. One possible explanation for this bias is disruption of the inactive X chromosome, which is a major epigenetic feature in female cells. Indeed, only one X

The X chromosome and sex-specific effects in infectious disease susceptibility
Human Genomics, 2019 The X chromosome and X-linked variants have largely been ignored in genome-wide and candidate association studies of infectious diseases due to the complexity of statistical analysis of the X chromosome.

Dual targeting of RET and SRC synergizes in RET fusion‐positive cancer cells
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Despite the strong activity of selective RET tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), resistance of RET fusion‐positive (RET+) lung cancer and thyroid cancer frequently occurs and is mainly driven by RET‐independent bypass mechanisms. Son et al. show that SRC TKIs significantly inhibit PAK and AKT survival signaling and enhance the efficacy of RET TKIs in ...

Sex-specific differences in primary Sjögren's disease
Frontiers in Dental Medicine, 2023 Many autoimmune diseases show a striking female sex predilection, including primary Sjögren's disease (pSD). Patients with pSD display exocrine gland pathology, such as salivary hypofunction and salivary and lacrimal gland inflammation.

X-Chromosome dosage compensation [PDF]
WormBook, 2005 In mammals, flies, and worms, sex is determined by distinctive regulatory mechanisms that cause males (XO or XY) and females (XX) to differ in their dose of X chromosomes. In each species, an essential X chromosome-wide process called dosage compensation ensures that somatic cells of either sex express equal levels of X-linked gene products.

Inferring the three-dimensional structures of the X-chromosome during X-inactivation
Mathematical Biosciences and Engineering, 2019 The Hi-C experiment can capture the genome-wide spatial proximities of the DNA, based on which it is possible to computationally reconstruct the three-dimensional (3D) structures of chromosomes.
