The existence of functional differences between parts of the maternal and paternal genome has been demonstrated. The control of gene expression through genomic imprinting plays a significant role in normal developmental processes in mammals and is also instrumental in several human pathological cond

Evidence for recombination suppression has been identified in linkage studies of several unstable DNA diseases. Also sex-specific changes in recombination frequency have been detected at the loci of Huntington's disease and myotonic dystrophy. It can be hypothesized that meiotic recombination is reg
Alterations in cellular immunity have been implicated in many kidney diseases. The role of the adhesion molecule VLA-4 and its known ligands VCAM-1 and CS-1 have just begun to be evaluated in association with kidney diseases. VCAM-1 in human kidney is normally expressed in the Bowman's capsule, in t
