Protein coding sequences represent only 2% of the human genome. Recent advances have demonstrated that a significant portion of the genome is actively transcribed as non-coding RNA molecules. These non-coding RNAs are emerging as key players in the regulation of biological processes, and act as "fine-tun...
El síndrome de Angelman es un trastorno neurogenético debido a la falta o reducción en la expresión del gen UBE3A en el cromosoma 15, el cual codifica la proteína ubiquitina ligasa E3A, que tiene un papel integral en el desarrollo sinóptico y la plasticidad neuronal. Se manifiesta por retraso en el...
El examen citogenético, es una herramienta importante para confirmar el diagnóstico, manejo y consejo genético. El objetivo es analizar las características del fenotipo neuroconductual, protocolizar y orientar en la eficaz solicitud del estudio citogenético. Se revisaron las fichas clínicas de los ...
