TY - JOUR AU - Ross, Kenneth Andrew PY - 2011 DA - 2011/02/03 TI - Evidence for somatic gene conversion and deletion in bipolar disorder, Crohn's disease, coronary artery disease, hypertension, rheumatoid arthritis, type-1 diabetes, and type-2 diabetes JO - BMC Medicine SP - 12 VL - 9 IS - 1 AB - During gene conversion, genetic information is transferred unidirectionally between highly homologous but non-allelic regions of DNA. While germ-line gene conversion has been implicated in the pathogenesis of some diseases, somatic gene conversion has remained technically difficult to investigate on a large scale.
