Population Bottlenecks as a Potential Major Shaping Force of Human Genome Architecture (2007)

Adrian Gherman, Peter E. Chen, Tanya M. Teslovich, Pawel Stankiewicz, Marjorie Withers, Carl S. Kashuk, ...

The modern synthetic view of human evolution proposes that the fixation of novel mutations is driven by the balance among selective advantage, selective disadvantage, and genetic drift. When...

Serial segmental duplications during primate evolution result in complex human genome architecture (2004)

Stankiewicz, Pawel, Shaw, Christine J., Withers, Marjorie, Inoue, Ken, Lupski, James R.

The human genome is particularly rich in low-copy repeats (LCRs) or segmental duplications (5%–10%), and this characteristic likely distinguishes us from lower mammals such as rodents. How and why...

Genome Architecture Catalyzes Nonrecurrent Chromosomal Rearrangements

Stankiewicz, Paweł, Shaw, Christine J., Dapper, Jason D., Wakui, Keiko, Shaffer, Lisa G., Withers, Marjorie, ...

To investigate the potential involvement of genome architecture in nonrecurrent chromosome rearrangements, we analyzed the breakpoints of eight translocations and 18 unusual-sized deletions involving...

Position Effects Due to Chromosome Breakpoints that Map ∼900 Kb Upstream and ∼1.3 Mb Downstream of SOX9 in Two Patients with Campomelic Dysplasia

Velagaleti, Gopalrao V. N., Bien-Willner, Gabriel A., Northup, Jill K., Lockhart, Lillian H., Hawkins, Judy C., Jalal, Syed M., ...

Campomelic dysplasia (CD) is a semilethal skeletal malformation syndrome with or without XY sex reversal. In addition to the multiple mutations found within the sex-determining region Y–related...

Characterization of Potocki-Lupski Syndrome (dup(17)(p11.2p11.2)) and Delineation of a Dosage-Sensitive Critical Interval That Can Convey an Autism Phenotype

Potocki, Lorraine, Bi, Weimin, Treadwell-Deering, Diane, Carvalho, Claudia M. B., Eifert, Anna, Friedman, Ellen M., ...

The duplication 17p11.2 syndrome, associated with dup(17)(p11.2p11.2), is a recently recognized syndrome of multiple congenital anomalies and mental retardation and is the first predicted reciprocal...
