Effects on fear reactivity in XO mice are due to haploinsufficiency of a non-PAR X gene: implications for emotional function in Turner's syndrome
6 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Recent work has indicated altered emotional functioning in Turner's syndrome (TS) subjects (45,XO). We examined the role of X-chromosome deficiency on fear reactivity in X-monosomic mice (39,XO), and found that they exhibited anxiogenic behaviour relative to normal females (40,XX). A molecular candidate for this effect is Steroid sulfatase (Sts) as this is located in the pseudoautosomal region (PAR) of the...
