MeSH definition : The number of copies of a given gene present in the cell of an organism. An increase
in gene dosage (by GENE DUPLICATION for example) can result in higher levels of gene
product formation. GENE DOSAGE COMPENSATION mechanisms result in adjustments to the
level GENE EXPRESSION when there are changes or differences in gene dosage.;
