单等位基因表达使生物体面临与揭露隐性突变相关的风险。 Gimelbrant 及其同事最近的一项研究得到了两项方法学上不同研究结果的支持,表明随机单等位基因表达在常染色体基因中惊人地广泛存在。这就提出了一些重要的问题:细胞为什么、何时以及如何选择和容忍单等位性,以及功能性半合性是否可能提供未被意识到的优势。
Monoallelic gene expression exposes an organism to the risks associated with the unmasking of recessive mutations. A recent study by Gimelbrant and colleagues, supported by results from two methodologically different studies, demonstrated that random monoallelic expression is surprisingly widespread among autosomal genes. This raises important questions about why, when and how cells choose and tolerate monoallelism and whether functional hemizygosity might provide an unappreciated advantage.
