A radiation hybrid map of the proximal short arm of the human X chromosome spanning incontinentia pigmenti 1 (IP1) translocation breakpoints
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
Radiation hybrid mapping was used in combination with physical mapping techniques to order and estimate distances between 14 loci in the proximal region of the short arm of the human X chromosome. A panel of radiation ...
Follicle-stimulating hormone signal transduction: Role of carbohydrate in aromatase induction in immature rat Sertoli cells
(Elsevier, 1991-08)
Receptor activated adenylate cyclase acts as a major transmembrane signalling system. It is widely accepted that upon binding to its receptor, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) activates the cAMP-dependent pathway which ...
Syndrome X: Is it for real?
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998)
The term syndrome X has been applied to the association of hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), android obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. In this paper, based on population samples ...
Localization of the Gene for ATP Citrate Lyase (ACLY) Distal to Gastrin (GAS) and Proximal to D17S856 on Chromosome 17q12-q21
(Elsevier, 1994-05-15)
The gene encoding ATP-citrate lyase, designated ACLY, was mapped to human chromosome 17q12-q21 by PCR on a panel of human/rodent somatic cell hybrids and localized to 17q21.1 by PCH on a panel of radiation hybrids. The ...
Chloroquine accumulation and alterations of proteolysis and pinocytosis in the rat conceptus in vitro
(Elsevier, 1994-02-11)
The teratogenicity of chloroquine (CQ) has been hypothesized to result from its effects on lysosomal function, specifically the ability of the visceral yolk sac (VYS) to capture and degrade external macromolecules. Using ...
Detection of oxidative mutagens in an urban air-particulate extract: a preliminary study
(Elsevier, 1992-12)
The Ames assays strains TA98 and TA100 have been useful in characterizing complex mixtures from organic solvent extracts of particles from diesel-powered vehicles, ambient air, and other sources. In this paper we report ...
A Radiation Hybrid Map of the BRCA1 Region of Chromosome 17q12-q21
(Elsevier, 1993-09)
The chromosomal region 17q12-q21 contains a gene (BRCA1) conferring susceptibility to early-onset familial breast and ovarian cancer. An 8000-rad radiation-reduced hybrid (RH) panel was constructed to provide a resource ...
Multipoint Radiation Hybrid Mapping: Comparison of Methods, Sample Size Requirements, and Optimal Study Characteristics
(Elsevier, 1994-05-01)
There are several statistical methods available for analyzing radiation hybrid (RH) data, but little is known about the ordering accuracy we can expect under common study conditions. Using analytic methods and computer ...
Multicolor FISH Mapping with Alu-PCR-Amplified YAC Clone DNA Determines the Order of Markers in the BRCA1 Region on Chromosome 17q12-q21
(Elsevier, 1993-09)
A gene designated BRCA1, implicated in the susceptibility to early-onset familial breast cancer, has recently been localized to chromosome 17q12-q21. To date, the order of DNA markers mapped within this region has been ...
Recombination fraction estimate of zero in the presence of apparent recombinants: Effects of incomplete penetrance and sporadic cases
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1995)
For a fully penetrant trait, apparent recombinants between the trait and marker loci result in an estimate of the recombination fraction θ > 0. Given allowance for reduced penetrance and/or sporadic cases, this no longer ...
