DELETION OF SNORD116, A PRADER-WILLI SYNDROME CANDIDATE GENE, DOES NOT AFFECT CIRCADIAN RHYTHMS IN MICE MODELS

1 answer:

Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is a gentic disorder which has an impact on numerous physiological systems. PWS affected individuals (specifically babies) experience delayed growth, significant hypotonia (low muscle tone), and feeding issues. It does effect circadian rhythms in mice models.

SNORD116, often referred to as HBII-85, is a non-coding RNA (ncRNA) molecule that contributes to the alteration of other small nuclear RNAs (snRNAs). Unlike the majority of other snoRNAs, SNORD116 is not significantly complementary to ribosomal RNA and is expressed widely in the brain (but not in PWS patients).

According to the studies, SNORD116 cause sleep defect in patients with Prader-Willi syndrome. Same observation was seen in mouse models too. Paternal expression of SNORD116 is thought to be a potential gene for the sleep disruptions/circadian rhythm’s that the majority of PWS sufferers.

The correct answer is a cell.

The basic life building block is the cell.

The cell is termed as the biological, functional and structural unit of every living organisms. They are referred to as building blocks.

Cell biology is the study of cell. Cytoplasm is being found in the cell which is enclosed in a membrane. The biomolecules which are contained in a cell include nucleic acids and proteins.

There are organisms which contains single cell for example, bacteria and those which are multicellular for example, animals and plants.
