Journal ArticleDOI

Meiotic and epigenetic defects in Dnmt3L-knockout mouse spermatogenesis

TL;DR: Because Dnmt3L expression is restricted to gonocytes, the presence of defects in later stages reveals a mechanism whereby early genome reprogramming is linked inextricably to changes in chromatin structure required for completion of spermatogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Abnormal RNA processing due to the exon mutation of beta E-globin gene.

TL;DR: It is reported here that the complete nucleotide sequence of a βE-gene revealed the expected GAG → AAG change in codon 26 but no other mutations, demonstrating a disturbance in the expression of the βE -gene attributable solely to the exon mutation—a novel mechanism for gene dysfunction.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA methylation profiles of human active and inactive X chromosomes.

TL;DR: This study provides a detailed analysis of the epigenetic profile of active and inactive X chromosomes, observing a global correlation between CGI methylation and the evolutionary age of X-chromosome strata, and that genes escaping XCI show increased methylation within gene bodies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parental Origin of the Extra Chromosome in Trisomy 21 as Indicated by Analysis of DNA Polymorphisms

TL;DR: In trisomy 21 the extra chromosome 21 is maternal in origin in about 95 percent of the cases, and paternal in only about 5 percent--considerably less than has been reported with cytogenetic methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

Consanguineous marriages, pearls and perils: Geneva International Consanguinity Workshop Report

TL;DR: The ongoing strong preferential culture of close kin marriages in many societies, and among migrant communities in Western countries, merits an equivalently detailed assessment of the social and genetic benefits of consanguinity in future studies.
