MeCP2 is involved in random mono-allelic expression for a subset of human autosomal genes

Abstract: Widespread random monoallelic gene expression (RMAE) effects influence about 10% of human genes. However, the mechanisms by which RME of autosomal genes is established and those by which it is maintained both remain open questions. Because the choice of allelic expression is randomly performed cell-by-cell, the RMAE mechanism is not observable in non-clonal cell populations or in whole tissues. Several target genes of MeCP2, the gene involved in Rett syndrome (RTT), have been previously described as subject to… Show more

“…Consequently, the clones were classified into four groups according to the expression patterns of SHOX; (i) biallelic expression (reference allele ratios of between 0.2 and 0.8), (ii) skewed biallelic expression (reference allele ratios of between 0.1 and 0.2 or between 0.8 and 0.9), (iii) MAE (reference allele ratios of ≤ 0.1 or ≥ 0.9), and (iv) null expression (31). For clones with SHOX null expression, we amplified COL1A1 mRNA to confirm the quality of the mRNA sample.…”
