Some Recent Findings

  • Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease[1] "Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT) disease is a hereditary demyelinating disease of the peripheral nervous system that results in sensory and motor dysfunction. CMT includes a spectrum of diseases with different types of mutations in the genes encoding myelin protein, resulting in a variety of dysfunctions in its life cycle. In CMT subtype 1A there is duplication mutation of peripheral myelin protein 22 gene on chromosome 17."
  • Chromosome 17 miRNAs regulating cancer genes[2] "Chromosome 17 (Chr17) harbors crucial genes that encode proteins implicated in a variety of cancers, including some that guard cancer cells from genomic instability and others that interfere with metastasis. Included amongst the genes on chr17 that regulate biological processes fundamental to the genesis of cancer are TP53, BRCA1, CCL5, NF-1, and GRB7. As many as 50% of all human tumors and at least 30% of breast carcinomas contain p53 mutations, while 30%-40% of breast cancers have defective BRCA1. A large number of proteins regulate the expression of these cancer genes on chr17 with miRNAs, the most widely studied class of regulatory RNAs, playing a major role in epigenetically controlling the gene expression programs, thereby managing various cellular functions. This review provides information on the genes transcribed from chr17, and their regulation by miRNAs in the context to tumorigenesis located on chr17, along with an analysis of the receptor status (estrogen, progesterone, and Her2/Neu) from the miRNA prediction data of miRNA genes located on chr17." microRNA

Hes7

Hairy/Enhancer Of Split, Drosophila, Homolog Of, 7 (HES7) 17p13.1 is a transcriptional repressor protein with the structure containing a basic helix-loop-helix-Orange domain. It is a direct target of the Notch signaling pathway and also part of a negative feedback required to attenuate Notch signaling. somitogenesis

Abnormalities

In 1994, two breast cancer susceptibility genes were identified BRCA1 on chromosome 17 and BRCA2 on chromosome 13.

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.
