Abstract
Abstract Here, we present a study of the population genetic architecture and microevolution of the Egyptian fruit bat (Rousettus aegyptiacus) at the environmental margins in the Middle East using mitochondrial…
Abstract Noninvasive prenatal diagnosis of chromosomal aneuploidies, although challenging, has been achieved through the implementation of novel methodologies such as methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and next generation sequencing technologies. Nevertheless, additional…
Abstract β-Thalassemia is the most common disease among hemoglobinopathies in North African and Arab populations. In the present study we report the first description of the β-Knossos codon27 (G→T) (βKnossos)…
Abstract The unfolded protein response (UPR) is a major signalling cascade acting in the quality control of protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The cascade is known to play…
Abstract Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a common autosomal recessive disorder primarily caused by mutants in the CYP21A2 gene. Heterozygosity for CYP21A2 mutations in females increases their risk of clinically…
Abstract The embryonic spinal cord in mice is organized into eleven progenitor domains. Cells in each domain first produce neurons and then switch to specifying glia. Five of these domains…
Abstract The purpose of this work is to determine the molecular mechanisms underlying tamoxifen resistance. We show here that ER-β is epigenetically silenced in a cell line with acquired tamoxifen…
Abstract In amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) reactive oxygen species and apoptosis are implicated in disease pathogenesis. Melatonin with its anti-oxidant and anti-apoptotic properties is expected to ameliorate disease phenotype. The…
Abstract Epigenetic modifications, including those occurring on DNA and on histone proteins, control gene expression by establishing and maintaining different chromatin states. In recent years, it has become apparent that…
