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 ...

The deletion breakpoints were mapped using fluorescence in situ hybridisation analysis with BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) and fosmid clones ... Patients KCL3, KCL4, and KCL5 had additional ...

The current human tissue-based study provides convincing evidence correlating hippocampal expressions of RNA guanine-rich G-quadruplexes with aging and with Alzheimer's Disease presence and severity.

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 ...

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 ...

"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 ...

Previous studies have suggested a link between the X chromosome and brain health. Mutations in the X chromosome are strongly associated with certain disabilities. Women with Turner Syndrome—a ...

One X chromosome is inherited from each parent and two are present in women at birth. However, only one X chromosome is required in each of their body cells, therefore the other is inactivated at ...

Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA located at specific points on a chromosome. The Y chromosome is an exception, only containing a few dozen genes.
