- TFE3遺伝子の融合によって引き起こされ,その再編成メカニズムは不明である.
- tRCCの女性の優位性は完全に理解されていません.
研究 の 目的:
- TFE3の合併に伴う再編成の種類を調査する.
- TFE3融合が活性X染色体 (chrXa) または非活性X染色体 (chrXi) から発生するかどうかを判断する.
- chrXiの転位がtRCCの女性優位性に寄与するかどうかを確認する.
主な方法:
- tRCC全体のゲノムにおけるX染色体 (chrX) のハプロタイプ特異的な解析
- 転移の種類と起源の特徴
- 性別に関連した転位頻度の統計分析.
主要な成果:
- TFE3融合は普遍的に相互転移として発生する.
- 腫瘍性TFE3融合は,不活性X染色体 (chrXi) から発生する.

X-linked Traits
54.4K
In most mammalian species, females have two X sex chromosomes and males have an X and Y. As a result, mutations on the X chromosome in females may be masked by the presence of a normal allele on the second X. In contrast, a mutation on the X chromosome in males more often causes observable biological defects, as there is no normal X to compensate. Trait variations arising from mutations on the X chromosome are called “X-linked”.

The Ratio of X Chromosome to Autosomes
8.5K
In most organisms, sex is determined by the ratio of X and Y chromosomes. However, in some organisms, such as Drosophila and C.elegans, sex is determined by the ratio of the number of X chromosomes to the number of sets of autosomes. The Y chromosome in Drosophila is active but does not determine sex. It contains genes responsible for the production of sperms in adult flies.

X and Y Chromosomes
24.1K
Among mammals, the gender of an organism is determined by the sex chromosomes. Humans have two sex chromosomes, X and Y. Every human diploid cell has 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes. A human female has two X chromosomes, while a male has one X chromosome and one Y chromosome.
The germline cells such as egg and sperm cells carry only half the number of chromosomes, i.e., 22 autosomes and one sex chromosome. All eggs have an X chromosome, while sperm cells can carry an X or...

X-Inactivation
38.3K
The human X chromosome contains over ten times the number of genes as in the Y chromosome. Since males have only one X chromosome, and females have two, one might expect females to produce twice as many of the proteins, with undesirable results.

Sex-linked Disorders
101.8K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
