Introduction

12

The one set (or four) of the HOX genes are an important set of developmental patterning genes located on chromosome 12.

Some Recent Findings

  • Endometriosis[1] "Developments in high-throughput genotyping technology have driven discovery of genomic regions associated with an increased risk of endometriosis. In all, 16 genomic regions have been associated with risk of endometriosis in one or more populations. The latest meta-analysis including 17,045 endometriosis cases identified 14 genomic regions supported by results from multiple studies. No independent associations were identified from direct genotyping of common and low-frequency protein-coding variants. This suggests that the most common genetic factors that contribute to endometriosis risk are located in regulatory DNA sequences and alter the regulation of gene transcription. Evidence from different methods is essential to identify the target genes and transcripts that contribute to altered disease risk. Potential target genes in three chromosome regions showing altered gene regulation include LINC00339 and CDC42 on chromosome 1, CDKN2A-AS1 on chromosome 9, and VEZT on chromosome 12.
  • Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 2[2] "Spinocerebellar ataxia type 2 (SCA2) is an autosomal dominant spinocerebellar degeneration, associated with extended repeats of the trinucleotide CAG in the ATXN2 gene on the long arm of chromosome 12. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of SCA2 showed significant atrophies of the brainstem, middle cerebellar peduncles, and cerebellum. We report two genetically proven SCA2 patients who showed hypertrophy of the inferior olivary nuclei on proton density- and T2-weighted MRI. This pattern has never been reported in patients with SCA1, SCA3, or SCA6, and may make it possible to differentiate SCA2 from other hereditary spinocerebellar ataxias." Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Idiogram Chromosome Banding - The term refers to the light and dark pattern, seen after staining with a dye, of individual chromosomes identified in metaphase. It is only in meiosis and mitosis during metaphase that chromosomes can be easily identified, during the normal cell life (interphase) the chromosomes are unravelled and distributed within the nucleus in chromosome territories. A band is that part of a chromosome which is clearly distinguishable from nearby regions by appearing darker or brighter with one or more banding techniques.
