Overexpression of FABP7 in Down syndrome fetal brains is associated with PKNOX1 gene-dosage imbalance
27 May 2003
Abstract excerpt
Suppression subtractive hybridization performed on Down syndrome (DS) fetal brains revealed a differentially expressed gene, FABP7, mapped to 6q22-23. FABP7 overexpression in DS brains was verified by real-time PCR (1.63-fold). To elucidate the molecular basis of FABP7 overexpression and establish the relationship with chromosome 21 trisomy, the FABP7 promoter was cloned by genomic inverse PCR. Comparison to the...
