Abstract

  DYX1C1 (dyslexia susceptibility 1 candidate 1) gene on human chromosome 15q21.3 is a candidate gene for developmental dyslexia. The DYX1C1 shows three alternatively spliced transcripts in GenBank database. We found that one of transcripts is related to HERV-H LTR element that could affect the protein-coding region. The HERV-H LTR element on human DYX1C1 gene seems to have been integrated into our common ancestor genome after the divergence of Old World monkeys and New World monkeys. RT-PCR analysis of HERV-H LTR-related transcript shows that five different alternative transcripts are expressed in several human tissues. Five different alternative splicing forms are also identified in various rhesus monkey tissues. From the sequencing analysis of various primate DNA samples, we found the lineage specific tandem repeated sequences of Old World monkeys in protein coding region. However, the formation of tandem repeated sequences did not affect the amino acid sequences. Taken together, integration event of the HERV-H LTR element contributed to the DYX1C1 gene diversification by affecting protein coding region during the primateevolution.………………………………………………………………………..…
