The DNA sequence of the human X chromosome

Mark T. Ross, +282 more
- 17 Mar 2005 - 
TL;DR: This analysis illustrates the autosomal origin of the mammalian sex chromosomes, the stepwise process that led to the progressive loss of recombination between X and Y, and the extent of subsequent degradation of the Y chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Folate treatment and unbalanced methylation and changes of allelic expression induced by hyperhomocysteinaemia in patients with uraemia

TL;DR: The results suggest that hyperhomocysteinaemia affects epigenetic control of gene expression, which can be reverted by folate treatment, and the hypothesis that the toxic action of homocysteine can be mediated by macromolecule hypomethylation is supported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diverse point mutations in the human glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase gene cause enzyme deficiency and mild or severe hemolytic anemia

TL;DR: Seven mutant G6PD alleles are cloned and sequenced and a single amino acid replacement was found (serine----phenylalanine) which must be responsible for the decreased stability and the reduced catalytic efficiency of this enzyme.
