Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Mechanisms for Constitutional Chromosomal Rearrangements in Humans

TL;DR: The identification of genome architectural features conferring susceptibility to rearrangements has been accomplished using methods that enable investigation of regions of the genome that are too small to be visualized by traditional cytogenetics and too large to be resolved by conventional gel electrophoresis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular mechanism for duplication 17p11.2- the homologous recombination reciprocal of the Smith-Magenis microdeletion.

TL;DR: Molecular analyses suggest that the de novo17p11.2 duplication is preferentially paternal in origin, arises from unequal crossing over due to homologous recombination between flanking repeat gene clusters and probably represents the reciprocal recombination product of the SMS deletion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chromosome 1p36 deletions: the clinical phenotype and molecular characterization of a common newly delineated syndrome.

TL;DR: Clinical examinations revealed that the most common features and medical problems in patients with this deletion syndrome include large anterior fontanelle, motor delay/hypotonia, moderate to severe mental retardation, growth delay, pointed chin, and deep-set eyes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Chromosome 7: DNA Sequence and Biology

Stephen W. Scherer, +90 more
- 02 May 2003 - 
TL;DR: Additional structural features such as imprinted genes, fragile sites, and segmental duplications were integrated at the level of the DNA sequence with medical genetic data, including 440 chromosome rearrangement breakpoints associated with disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Circadian rhythm abnormalities of melatonin in Smith-Magenis syndrome.

TL;DR: The findings suggest that the abnormalities in the circadian rhythm of melatonin and altered sleep patterns could be secondary to aberrations in the production, secretion, distribution, or metabolism ofmelatonin; however, a direct role for COPS3 could not be established.
