Warmblood fragile foal syndrome type 1 mutation (PLOD1 c.2032G>A) is not associated with catastrophic breakdown and has a low allele frequency in the Thoroughbred breed. [PDF]
BackgroundCatastrophic fractures are among the most common cause of fatalities in racehorses. Several factors, including genetics, likely contribute to increased risk for fatal injuries.

RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway: genetic associations with stress fracture period prevalence in elite athletes [PDF]
Context: The RANK/RANKL/OPG signalling pathway is important in the regulation of bone turnover, with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in genes within this pathway associated with bone phenotypic adaptations.

Alcohol-related expectancies are associated with the D2 dopamine receptor and GABAa receptor B3 subunit genes [PDF]
Molecular genetic research has identified promising markers of alcohol dependence, including alleles of the D2 dopamine receptor (DRD2) and the GABAA receptor ¬3 subunit (GABRB3) genes.

Brief communication: Evolution of a specific O allele (O1vG542A) supports unique ancestry of Native Americans [PDF]
In this study, we explore the geographic and temporal distribution of a unique variant of the O blood group allele called O1vG542A, which has been shown to be shared among Native Americans but is rare in other populations.

Efficient CRISPR-rAAV engineering of endogenous genes to study protein function by allele-specific RNAi. [PDF]
Gene knockout strategies, RNAi and rescue experiments are all employed to study mammalian gene function. However, the disadvantages of these approaches include: loss of function adaptation, reduced viability and gene overexpression that rarely matches ...

Allele age and a test for selection on rare alleles [PDF]
An approximate expression for the probability distribution of the age of a neutral allele as a function of its frequency is derived for a population undergoing arbitrary changes in population size. A simple maximum–likelihood estimator of allele age based on frequency is also obtained.

Delimiting Allelic Imbalance of TYMS by Allele-Specific Analysis
Allelic imbalance of thymidylate synthase (TYMS) is attributed to polymorphisms in the 5'- and 3'-untranslated region (UTR). These polymorphisms have been related to the risk of suffering different cancers, for example leukemia, breast or gastric cancer, and response to different drugs, among which are methotrexate glutamates, stavudine, and ...
