Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer poses a significant health risk to women, influenced by various risk factors, necessitating regular monitoring and awareness efforts.
  • Research indicates that E-selectin (SELE) plays a role in tumor development, with a study focusing on specific single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) linked to breast cancer risks.
  • Significant associations were found between these SNPs and breast cancer incidence, particularly the rs5368 variant, suggesting that certain alleles may increase risk while others might offer protection, indicating the need for further exploration of SELE's role in cancer prediction.

An inversion polymorphism of the filamin and emerin genes at the tip of the long arm of the human X-chromosome serves as the basis of an investigative laboratory in which students learn something new about their own genomes. Long, nearly identical inverted repeats flanking the filamin and emerin genes illustrate how repetitive elements can lead to alterations in genome structure (inversions) through nonallelic homologous recombination. The near identity of the inverted repeats is an example of concerted evolution through gene conversion.
