Previous research has hinted that the X chromosome – of which most women have two and most men have just one – is vital to brain health. Mutations in the X chromosome often cause intellectual ...

For example, mutations in the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome cause fragile X syndrome, a condition associated with intellectual disability. Turner syndrome, a condition where females are born with only ...

"Ultimately, it could also help us find constructive strategies for slowing brain aging in both sexes." X chromosome mutations can cause intellectual disability, and the X chromosome is thought to be ...

Their insights advance our understanding of our most enigmatic chromosome, the X chromosome. They have now created an atlas of how the X chromosome is inactivated in humans, which they have ...

Previous research has hinted at the X chromosome’s vital role in brain health. Mutations in the X chromosome often cause intellectual disability, and women born with just one X chromosome (a ...

There were 10 different mutation/H/VNTR haplotype combinations on the 50 PKU chromosomes: one set of 5 and another of 8 accounted for 88 and 77% of these chromosomes in the French-Canadian and non ...

The nucleus of every human cell contains chromosomes—23 pairs, to be exact. These carry our genetic material, known as the genome, and are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and proteins.

In a new study it has been revealed that the X chromosome passed down to the child from the mother might be responsible for accelerated brain ageing, potentially increasing the risk of conditions like ...
