View SamplesFacioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is an autosomal dominant disorder linked to contractions of the D4Z4 repeat array in the subtelomeric region of chromosome 4q. By comparing genome-wide gene expression data from muscle biopsies of patients with FSHD to those of 11 other neuromuscular disorders, we intend to identify disease-specific changes which are more likely to be involved in the early stages of the disease progression. The data will help to identify pathological mechanisms involved in FSHD.
DUX4, a candidate gene of facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy, encodes a transcriptional activator of PITX1.

View SamplesIdentification of the all RNA species associated with DNMT1. Using a comparative genome-scale approach we identified and correlated the RNA species physically associated with DNMT1 and proximal to the annotated genes to the methylation status of the corresponding loci and expression levels of the respective genes. This comparative approach delineated the first -DNMT1 centered- 'epitranscriptome' map, a comprehensive map cross-referencing DNMT1-interacting transcripts to (i) DNA methylation and (ii) gene expression profile.

View SamplesAneuploidy, i.e., variation in the number of individual chromosomes (chromosomal aneuploidy) or chromosome segment (segmental aneuploidy) is associated with developmental abnormalities and reduced fitness in all species examined, is the leading cause of miscarriages and mental retardations and a hallmark of cancer. Despite their documented importance in disease the effects of aneuploidies on the transcriptome remains largely unknown. Here we have examined the expression output in seven deficiency heterozygotes as single deficiencies and in all pairwise combinations. The results show that genes in one copy are buffered, i.e., are expressed above the expected 50% expression level compared to wild type and the buffering is general and not influenced by additional haploid regions. Long genes are significantly better buffered than short genes and our analysis suggests that gene length is the primary determinant for the degree of buffering. For short genes the degree of buffering depends on expression level and expression pattern. Furthermore, the results show that in deficiency heterozygotes the expression of genes involved in proteolysis is enhanced and negatively correlates with the degree of buffering. Our results suggest that proteolysis is a general response induced by aneuploidy.
Buffering and proteolysis are induced by segmental monosomy in Drosophila melanogaster.

View SamplesSF-1 is a nuclear receptor transcription factor playing a key role in adrenogonadal development and in adrenocortical tumorigenesis when overexpressed. NRSF/REST is a transcriptional repressor that represses expression of neuronal genes in non-neural tissues. Some data suggest that SF-1 and NRSF/REST can functionally interact in adrenocortical cancer cells.
