  2. CHEK2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHEK2

    Unlike BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations, CHEK2 mutations do not appear to cause an elevated risk for ovarian cancer. [10] However, a large-effect genome-wide association for squamous lung cancer has been described for a rare variant in CHEK2 (p.Ile157Thr, rs17879961, OR = 0.38).

  3. PALB2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PALB2

    ATM activates (phosphorylates) CHEK2 and FANCD2 [10] CHEK2 phosphorylates BRCA1. [11] Ubiquinated FANCD2 complexes with BRCA1 and RAD51 . [ 12 ] The PALB2 protein acts as a hub, [ 13 ] bringing together BRCA1, BRCA2 and RAD51 at the site of a DNA double-strand break, and also binds to RAD51C, a member of the RAD51 paralog complex RAD51B ...

    ATM activates (phosphorylates) CHEK2 and FANCD2 [27] CHEK2 phosphorylates BRCA1. [28] Ubiquinated FANCD2 complexes with BRCA1 and RAD51 . [ 29 ] The PALB2 protein acts as a hub, [ 30 ] bringing together BRCA1, BRCA2 and RAD51 at the site of a DNA double-strand break, and also binds to RAD51C, a member of the RAD51 paralog complex RAD51B ...

  5. List of genetic disorders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genetic_disorders

    The following is a list of genetic disorders and if known, type of mutation and for the chromosome involved. Although the parlance "disease-causing gene" is common, it is the occurrence of an abnormality in the parents that causes the impairment to develop within the child.

  6. Erythrism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythrism

    Genetic mutations which cause an absence of a normal pigment and/or excessive production of others [2] Diet, as in bees feeding on "bright red corn syrup" used in maraschino cherry manufacturing. [3] Erythrism in katydids has been occasionally observed. The coloring might be a camouflage that helps some members of the species survive on red ...

  7. DNA repair - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA_repair

    As well as mutations to DNA damage repair genes, mutations also arise in the genes responsible for arresting the cell cycle to allow sufficient time for DNA repair to occur, and some genes are involved in both DNA damage repair and cell cycle checkpoint control, for example ATM and checkpoint kinase 2 (CHEK2) – a tumor suppressor that is ...

  8. Plant genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_genetics

    An image of multiple chromosomes, taken from many cells. Plant genetics is the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity specifically in plants. [1] [2] It is generally considered a field of biology and botany, but intersects frequently with many other life sciences and is strongly linked with the study of information systems.

  9. Mutation breeding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutation_breeding

    The mutations produced by this technique vary with each generation, meaning further breeding of these mutated plants could produce new mutations. Traditionally, gamma radiation is used on solely adult plants, and not on pollen. The irradiation of mature pollen allows mutant plants to grow without being in direct contact with gamma radiation.
