| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Pallister-Killian syndrome (PKS) is caused by chromosomal duplication of 12p, which exists as mosaic aneuploidy. In order to understand the molecular mechanism of PKS, we evaluated the transcriptome pattern and epigenomic alteration in PKS patient-derived samples. Our data indicates the presence of unique transcriptome profile in PKS. Furthermore, there were unique epigenomic alterations seen only in PKS samples, suggesting the involvement of epigenomic alteratiosn in the pathogenesis of PKS. Our study revealed these novel insights into the molecular mechanism of PKS, and such insights may have implications for other aneuploidy syndromes such as Down syndrome.
