The X contains more genes related to brain function than does any other chromosome. “The X chromosome may be a treasure trove of genes that influence cognition, and these could be therapeutic targets, ...

Researchers say study represents a resource that could also help to dissect Y-gene functions in other tissues.

A UCSF study reveals that maternal X chromosome expression may accelerate brain aging and cognitive decline. Female mice with ...

Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes, which are sections of DNA located at specific points on a chromosome. The Y chromosome is an exception, only containing a few dozen genes.

Researchers aim to continue studying the role of the X chromosome in brain aging, and whether it can explain people’s risk of ...
