Abstract: The q24 band of chromosome 8 (8q24) is frequently amplified in human cancers including breast cancer, and several SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) at 8q24, including rs13281615, have been identified for their association with cancer risks. These SNPs are in a “gene desert” region, and their fu...
Abstract: Mucopolysaccharidosis type II (MPS II) is a rare X-linked disorder caused by alterations in the iduronate-2-sulfatase (IDS) gene. In this study, IDS activity in peripheral mononuclear blood monocytes (PMBCs) was measured with a fluorimetric enzyme assay. Urinary glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) were quanti...
Abstract: Leymus mollis (Trin.) Pilger (NsNsXmXm, 2n=28), a wild relative of common wheat, possesses many potentially valuable traits that could be transferred to common wheat during breeding programs. In this study, the karyotypic constitution of a wheat – L. mollis 3D(3Ns#1) disomic substitution line isolat...
