8p23.1 duplication syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by a duplication of a region from human chromosome 8. [1] This duplication syndrome has an estimated prevalence of 1 in 64,000 births [1] and is the reciprocal of the 8p23.1 deletion syndrome. The 8p23.1 duplication is associated with a variable phenotype including one or more of ...
Trisomy 8 mosaicism affects wide areas of chromosome 8, containing many genes, and can thus be associated with a range of symptoms. Mosaic trisomy 8 has been reported in rare cases of Rothmund–Thomson syndrome, a genetic disorder associated with the DNA helicase RECQL4 on chromosome 8q24.3. The syndrome is "characterized by skin atrophy ...
NC_000008 (FASTA) GenBank. CM000670 (FASTA) Chromosome 8 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans. People normally have two copies of this chromosome. Chromosome 8 spans about 146 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 4.5 and 5.0% of the total DNA in cells. [5] About 8% of its genes are involved in ...
In humans, the NKX3-1 gene is located on chromosome 8p21.2 with 4 exons. [7] The 8p chromosome is a region that is frequently reported to undergo a loss of heterozygosity (LOH) associated with tissue dedifferentiation and loss of androgen responsiveness during the progression of prostate cancer. LOH has been reported to be observed in 12-89% of ...

Canavan disease, or Canavan–Van Bogaert–Bertrand disease, is a rare and fatal autosomal recessive [1] degenerative disease that causes progressive damage to nerve cells and loss of white matter in the brain. [2] It is one of the most common degenerative cerebral diseases of infancy. [3] It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme ...
Chromosomal deletion syndromes result from deletion of parts of chromosomes. Depending on the location, size, and whom the deletion is inherited from, there are a few known different variations of chromosome deletions. Chromosomal deletion syndromes typically involve larger deletions that are visible using karyotyping techniques.
Labrador Retrievers are a popular dog breed in many countries. There are three recognised colours, black, chocolate, and yellow, [1] that result from the interplay among genes that direct production and expression of two pigments, eumelanin (brown or black pigment) and pheomelanin (yellow to red pigment), in the fur and skin of the dog.
