Men Are Losing Their Y Chromosome – and It May Be Deadly Loss of the Y chromosome in aging men is widespread and increasingly linked to serious diseases, challenging assumptions that the Y has little biological importance beyond sex determination.

Tracking back such a big population (1 in 200 of all men) to one relatively recent lineage always was sus to me.
my confirmation bias is very happy about the results this study.

Loss of Y Chromosome Leads to Poor Cancer Outcomes When cancer cells in male patients and immune cells in their tumors both lose the Y chromosome, those patients tend to experience poorer outcomes than patients without Y chromosome loss, according to ...

Dr. Simon Knott and Dr. Dan Theodorescu are senior authors on the @nature.com paper “Concurrent Loss of the Y Chromosome in Cancer and T Cells Impacts Outcome” linking loss of the #Ychromosome in #cancer and immune cells with worse outcomes.

Cancer more deadly when tumours lack Y chromosomes — and the loss could be contagious Losing the Y chromosome seems to make cancer cells more aggressive in men and the phenomenon might even spread between cells.

#MedSky #Cancer #YChromosome
"Tantalizing research suggests that this mutation can spread ‘contagiously’ from tumour cells to immune cells, which lose their cancer-fighting prowess after their Y chromosome disappears."

How a Y chromosome gene may shape the course of heart valve disease Researchers have shed new light on how a type of heart valve disease -- aortic valve stenosis -- progresses differently in males and females.

“A study..sheds new light on how a type of #HeartValve disease, called #AorticValve #stenosis, progresses differently in males & females. The #research reveals that this sex-based difference can be traced to a gene on the #YChromosome.”: buff.ly/CIYs54P

Shocking! The Y CHROMOSOME, is DISAPPEARING in males! 😱

So, Human Extinction?? – unless a new sex-determining gene emerges?
