Deletion, chromosomal

O Delete chromosomes with poor fitness (selection). 

Prader-Willi syndrome arises when deleted chromosome 15 is paternally inherited. 

Related Tests. Many cells exposed to test chemicals can be scored for chromosome aberrations by staining procedures followed by visual examination with the aid of the microscope. These include Chinese hamster ovary cells in culture treated in a protocol very similar to that used in the test for SCEs, bone marrow cells from animals treated in vivo, or lymphocytes from animals treated in vivo. The types of aberrations evaluated include chromatid gaps, breaks, and deletions chromosome gaps, breaks, and deletions chromosome fragments translocations and ploidy. 

The channelopathy present in the shiverer mutant may be relevant to understanding epileptogenesis in an inherited human chnical syndrome, 18t]. This mental retardation syndrome is of particular interest since the deleted chromosomal region contains the human orthologue of the myehn basic protein gene, and is accompanied by hypomyehnation and characteristic seizures. 

The detection of a Ip deletion in oligodendroglioma by FISH is illustrated in Figure 2.13. A set of commercially available probes consists of two probes, one complementary to the frequently deleted chromosomal region on lp36 and another differentially labeled...

All phosphoinositides are found in the cytosolic half of the lipid bilayer of the plasma or intracellular compartment membranes (left part). The different kinases acting on phosphoinositides in mammalian cells are shown in solid lines and the phosphoinositide 3-kinases, in bold. The phosphoinositides counterpart pathways catalysed by known phosphatases are represented by dashed lines. The best known phosphatases are PTEN (Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) and SHIP (SH2 domain-containing inositol 5-phosphatase). 

Phospholipid phosphatases are enzymes such as SHIP (SH2-domain containing inositide-5-phosphatase) or PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10) which dephosphorylate phosphoino-sitides. Whereas SHIP removes phosphate from the 5 ...

The deletion of pelX and of the five major pel genes from the E. chrysanthemi chromosome failed to totally eliminate the capadty for tissue maceration (16). Analysis of the macerated tissue by electrofocusing followed by an activity detection, revealed the presence of a new set of pectate lyases (up to 5 forms). Because of their low activity in synthetic medium, they were described as secondary pectinases. The gene of one secondary endo-pectate lyases, PelL, has been characterized in two E. chrysanthemi strains. The pelL gene of E. 

Both AML and ALL are presumed to arise from clonal expansion of a single arrested cell. As these cells expand, they acquire one and often more chromosomal aberration, including translocations, inversions, deletions, point mutations, and...
