Cri du chat syndrome. Cri du chat syndrome is a rare genetic disorder due to a partial chromosome deletion on chromosome 5. [1] Its name is a French term ("cat-cry" or "call of the cat") referring to the characteristic cat-like cry of affected children (sound sample [1] ). [2] It was first described by Jérôme Lejeune in 1963. [3]
Chromosome 15q trisomy. Chromosome 15q duplication is an extremely rare genetic disorder in which there is an excess copy of a segment of DNA found on the long ("q") arm of human chromosome 15. As a result, affected cells contain a total of 3 copies of the duplicated bases, instead of the usual 2 copies - one inherited from the mother and one ...
Chromosome 4 pair in human male karyogram. Chromosome 4 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 4 spans more than 193 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 6 and 6.5 percent of the total DNA in cells .
NC_000006 ( FASTA) GenBank. CM000668 ( FASTA) Chromosome 6 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 6 spans more than 172 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 5.5 and 6% of the total DNA in cells.
Chromosome 5 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 5 spans about 182 million base pairs (the building blocks of DNA) and represents almost 6% of the total DNA in cells. Chromosome 5 is the 5th largest human chromosome, yet has one of the lowest gene densities.
1 ( one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of unit length is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest ...
The Ts1Cje mouse model of Down Syndrome was developed at the University of California, San Francisco in 1997. This model has a partial triplication of MMU 16 that is smaller than the triplicated region in the Ts65Dn model. Ts1Cje triplication contains what has been identified as the Down Syndrome Critical Region, a region involved in all forms ...
Heterochromia iridum. Heterochromia is a variation in coloration most often used to describe color differences of the iris, but can also be applied to color variation of hair [1] or skin. Heterochromia is determined by the production, delivery, and concentration of melanin (a pigment ). It may be inherited, or caused by genetic mosaicism ...
