A novel stable polyalanine [poly(A)] expansion in the HOXA13 gene associated with hand-foot-genital syndrome: proper function of poly(A)-harbouring transcription factors depends on a critical repeat length?

abstract：:We have used Y-specific and Y-derived DNA probes for in situ hybridization and Southern blotting analysis to characterize a Y;15 translocation showing normal Mendelian inheritance in a family. Cytogenetically there appeared to be an unbalanced translocation of Yqh to 15p; this translocation may be considered as a prot...
