Methylation of two Homo sapiens-specific X-Y homologous genes in Klinefelter's syndrome (XXY).
- Abstract:
-
An increased incidence of psychiatric and structural brain abnormalities in individuals with Klinefelter syndrome (KS, 47 XXY) could be due to the presence of extra copies of X-Y homologous genes that escape X inactivation. Of particular interest are the two brain-expressed genes Protocadherin11XY (PCDH11XY) and the Synaptobrevin-like gene (SYBL1) which have been duplicated from the X chromosome to the Y chromosome to give X-Y homologous gene pairs that are specific to modern humans. We exami...
