gene amplification
Medical; Human genome
1) A selective increase in the number of copies of a gene coding for a specific protein without a proportional increase in other genes. It occurs naturally via the excision of a ...
galactosylceramides
Medical; Human genome
Cerebrosides which contain as their polar head group a galactose moiety bound in glycosidic linkage to the hydroxyl group of ceramide. Their accumulation in tissue, due to a ...
flanking marker
Medical; Human genome
An identifiable, polymorphic region of DNA (i.e., marker) located to the side of a gene (i.e., flanking), as opposed to an intragenic marker which is located within the gene ...
fatty liver
Medical; Human genome
1) Lipid infiltration of the hepatic parenchymal cells resulting in a yellow-colored liver. The abnormal lipid accumulation is usually in the form of triglycerides, either as a ...
gene expression
Medical; Human genome
1) The process by which a gene's coded information is translated into the structures present and operating in the cell (either proteins or RNAs). 2) Gene expression is the ...
gene dosage
Medical; Human genome
The number of copies of a given gene present in a cell or nucleus. An increase in gene dosage can result in the formation of higher levels of gene product, provided that the gene ...
