Germline mutations in genes coding for cohesins result in developmental disorders named cohesinopaties, of which Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is the best-known entity. However, a basic description of mammalian expression pattern of cohesins in a physiologic condition is still needed. Hence, we report a detailed analysis of expression in murine and human tissues of cohesin genes defective in CdLS. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods in fetal and adult tissues, cohesin genes were found to be ubiquitously and differentially expressed in human tissues. In particular, abundant expression was observed in hematopoietic and central nervous system organs. Findings of the present study indicate tissues which should be particularly sensitive to mutations, germline and\/or somatic, in cohesin genes. Hence, this expression analysis in physiological conditions may represent a first core reference for cohesinopathies.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms19020438","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,2,2]],"date-time":"2018-02-02T04:20:50Z","timestamp":1517545250000},"page":"438","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Rings and Bricks: Expression of Cohesin Components is Dynamic during Development and Adult Life"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"19","author":[{"given":"Laura","family":"Bettini","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Della Salute, San Paolo Hospital Medical School, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, 20142 Milan, Italy"},{"name":"Clinica Pediatrica, Dipartimento di Medicina e Chirurgia, Universit\u00e0 di Milano-Bicocca Ospedale San Gerardo\/Fondazione MBBM, 20900 Monza, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Federica","family":"Graziola","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Scienze Della Salute, San Paolo Hospital Medical School, Universit\u00e0 degli Studi di Milano, 20142 Milan, Italy"},{"name":"Centre for Endocrinology, William Harvey Research Institute, Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, Queen Mary University of London, London EC1M 6BQ, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Grazia","family":"Fazio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centro Ricerca M.
