Agouti: A Lethal Allele
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...

The Eukaryotic Promoter Region

19.0K
The eukaryotic promoter region is a segment of DNA located upstream of a gene. It contains an RNA polymerase binding site, a transcription start site, and several cis-regulatory sequences.  The proximal promoter region is located in the vicinity of the gene and has cis-regulatory sequences and the core promoter. The core promoter is the binding site for RNA polymerase and is usually located between -35 and +35 nucleotides from the transcription start site. The distal promoter regions are...

IR Frequency Region: Fingerprint Region

2.0K
IR spectra are divided into two main regions: the diagnostic region and the fingerprint region. The diagnostic region of the spectrum lies above 1500 cm−1. The absorptions resulting from single-bond vibrations of the N–H, C–H, and O–H stretch at higher wavenumbers and appear on the left side of the spectrum. The stretching absorptions of the C≡C and C≡N occur between 2100–2300 cm−1. In contrast, those arising from stretching absorptions of the...

Region of Convergence

The z-transform is a powerful mathematical tool used in the analysis of discrete-time signals and systems. It is a crucial tool in the analysis of discrete-time systems, but its convergence is limited to specific values of the complex variable z. This range of values, known as the Region of Convergence (ROC), is fundamental in determining the behavior and stability of a system or signal. The ROC defines the region in the complex plane where the z-transform converges, which can take various...

Regional Terms01:12

Regional Terms

16.2K
Regional terms describe anatomy by dividing the body parts into different regions that contain structures involved in contributing similar functions. Using these terms helps increase the accurate description and identification of the particular region of interest or region affected by the disease.
Primarily, the human body has two major regions, the axial and appendicular regions. The axial region comprises regions from the head to the abdomen and makes up the central body axis. In contrast,...

Area of Science:

  • Immunogenetics
  • Molecular Biology
  • Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) System

Background:

  • The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex plays a critical role in immune response and transplantation.
  • Novel HLA alleles contribute to understanding immune diversity and disease associations.
  • Large genomic deletions within HLA genes can impact immune function and allele identification.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify and characterize novel human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class II alleles.
  • To investigate the nature and extent of large genomic deletions within these novel alleles.
  • To refine DNA sequencing and characterization methods for complex HLA loci.

Main Methods:

  • Routine HLA typing was performed to identify novel alleles.
  • DNA extraction using capture oligonucleotides and whole genome amplification.
  • Next-generation DNA sequencing for precise characterization of genomic sequences and deletions.

Main Results:

  • Identification of two novel HLA class II alleles: DRB4*03:01N and DQB1*03:276N.
  • DRB4*03:01N contains a 16 kilobase pair deletion upstream of intron 2.
  • DQB1*03:276N exhibits two deletions (3.7 kb and 3.3 kb) upstream of intron 1.

Conclusions:

  • Discovery of novel HLA class II alleles with substantial genomic deletions expands the known HLA repertoire.
  • The identified deletions in DRB4*03:01N and DQB1*03:276N provide insights into HLA gene evolution and structural variation.
  • Advanced sequencing techniques are crucial for characterizing complex genetic variations in the HLA region.
