Pseudoautosomal region 伪体染色体区
(重定向自Pseudoautosomal)
The pseudoautosomal regions, PAR1, PAR2, and PAR3, are homologous sequences of nucleotides on the X and Y chromosomes. Although genetic recombination (occurring during sexual reproduction) is known to be limited only to the pseudoautosomal regions (PAR1 and PAR2) of the X and Y chromosomes, a 2013 study reports allelic unequal recombination between the X-chromosome-transposed region (XTR) Yp11.2 and Xq21.3, indicating the presence of a new PAR, which has been named PAR3. This PAR3 region is exhibited in 2% of the general population. Also, the additional layer of justification has been provided from another study on six dyslexic cases which were shown to harbor duplications and deletions in the same Xq21.3 and Yp11.2 regions through allelic unequal recombination.
