Fig. 3.
Duplication of selected LCRs during molecular evolution of the primates (updated from ref. 122). The figure is not to scale. LCRJ, Opsin and TEX28 array at Xq28; LCR15, LCR highly repeated in chromosome 15q11-q14; LCRK, LCR flanking the genes FLNA and EMD at Xq28; PWS/AS, Prader–Willi and Angelman syndromes; DGS, DiGeorge syndrome; SMS, Smith–Magenis syndrome; WBS, Williams–Beuren syndrome; GBA, glucocerebrosidase gene; NEMO, gene mutated in incontinentia pigmenti; PMCHL1/2, chimeric genes derived from the melanin-concentrating hormone gene; NF1, neurofibromatosis 1; CMT1A, Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A; LCR16a, low copy repeats on chromosome 16; SMN2, gene mutated in spinal muscular atrophy. This figure was adapted, with permission, from ref. 122.
