The gene balance hypothesis: implications for gene regulation, quantitative traits and evolution.

Edité par CCSD ; Wiley -

International audience. The gene balance hypothesis states that the stoichiometry of members of multisubunit complexes affects the function of the whole because of the kinetics and mode of assembly. Gene regulatory mechanisms also would be governed by these principles. Here, we review the impact of this concept with regard to the effects on the genetics of quantitative traits, the fate of duplication of genes following polyploidization events or segmental duplication, the basis of aneuploid syndromes, the constraints on cis and trans variation in gene regulation and the potential involvement in hybrid incompatibilities.

Dominance and gene dosage balance in health and disease: why levels matter!

Archive ouverte | Veitia, Reiner A | CCSD

International audience. The classical concept of genetic dominance is a simplification of a more quantitative reality. This is clearly exemplified by aneuploid syndromes, of which the best known case is trisomy 21. ...

International audience. Stoichiometric imbalances in macromolecular complexes can lead to altered function. Such imbalances stem from under- or over-expression of a subunit of a complex consequent to a deletion, dup...

The gene balance hypothesis: dosage effects in plants.

International audience. The concept of genomic balance traces to the early days of genetics. In recent years, studies of gene expression have found parallels to the classical phenotypic studies in that aneuploid cha...
