Journal ArticleDOI

The mouse Ftzf1 gene required for gonadal and adrenal development maps to mouse chromosome 2.

TL;DR: The nuclear steroid receptor-like protein steroidogenic factor 1 (SF1), encoded by the fuschi tarazu factor-1 (Ftzf1) gene, is essential for the development of steroidogenic organs and normal sexual differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-Chromosome inactivation: X marks the spot for BRCA1

TL;DR: X-chromosome inactivation equalizes the dosage of X-linked genes in XX females with that in XY males, and reveals that the BRCA1 breast cancer susceptibility gene has an important function in this epigenetic phenomenon.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reproducibility of Estradiol and Testosterone Levels in Postmenopausal Women Over 5 Years: Results From the Breakthrough Generations Study

TL;DR: The results suggest that other factors account for within-woman variation in these sex hormones, including change in age, alcohol consumption, smoking, exercise, time between waking and blood collection, or season.
Journal ArticleDOI

Patchy fur, a mouse coat mutation associated with X-Y nondisjunction, maps to the pseudoautosomal boundary region.

TL;DR: Patchy fur is a semidominant X-linked mutation in the mouse, resulting in a sparse coat and the meiotic nondisjunction phenotype may result from a chromosomal rearrangement that includes pseudoautosomal sequences and affects XY pairing.
