  2. Sex-chromosome dosage compensation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex-chromosome_dosage...

    If the S. latifolia did not practice dosage compensation, the expected level of X-linked gene expression in males would be 50% that of females, thus the plant practices some degree of dosage compensation but, because male expression is not 100% that of females, it has been suggested that S. latiforia and its dosage compensation system is still ...

    Gain of an X chromosome, [20] Klinefelter syndrome, [21] and XX male syndrome [22] are risk factors linked to male breast cancer. In females, there is no evidence that trisomy X or tetrasomy X females are at higher risk of cancer. [19] Breast cancer and ovarian cancer, particularly more aggressive strains, commonly lack an Xi and have two Xa's ...

  5. X-inactivation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X-inactivation

    However, this pattern has been proven wrong for many cancer types, suggesting that some cancers may be polyclonal in origin. [46] Besides, measuring the methylation (inactivation) status of the polymorphic human androgen receptor (HUMARA) located on X-chromosome is considered the most accurate method to assess clonality in female cancer ...

  6. Prostate cancer screening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prostate_cancer_screening

    Prostate cancer screening is the screening process used to detect undiagnosed prostate cancer in men without signs or symptoms. [1] [2] When abnormal prostate tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat and cure, but it is unclear if early detection reduces mortality rates. [2] Screening precedes a diagnosis and subsequent treatment.

    In toxicology it is specifically the highest tested dose or concentration of a substance (i.e. a drug or chemical) or agent (e.g. radiation), at which no such adverse effect is found in exposed test organisms where higher doses or concentrations resulted in an adverse effect. [3] [4] [5]
