BackgroundsGene polymorphisms are critical for variations in warfarin dose. To date, more than 70 CYP2C9 alleles have been identified. This study was designed to clarify the clinical significance of CYP2C9*non-3 variants to warfarin sensitivity in ...

Bayesian inference of natural selection from allele frequency time series
The advent of accessible ancient DNA technology now allows the direct ascertainment of allele frequencies in ancestral populations, thereby enabling the use of allele frequency time series to detect and estimate natural selection.

Delta-like and gtl2 are reciprocally expressed, differentially methylated linked imprinted genes on mouse chromosome 12 [PDF]
The distal portion of mouse chromosome 12 is imprinted. To date, however, Gtl2 is the only imprinted gene identified on chromosome 12. Gtl2 encodes multiple alternatively spliced transcripts with no apparent open reading frame.

Distortion of allele frequency distributions provides a test for recent population bottlenecks.
We use population genetics theory and computer simulations to demonstrate that population bottlenecks cause a characteristic mode-shift distortion in the distribution of allele frequencies at selectively neutral loci.

Correction to the pathogenic alternative splicing, caused by the common GNB3 c.825C>T allele, using a novel, antisense morpholino [PDF]
The very common GNB3 c.825C>T polymorphism (rs5443), is present in approximately half of all human chromosomes. Significantly the presence of the GNB3 825T allele has been strongly associated, with predisposition to essential hypertension ...

The association of 20 short tandem repeat loci of autosomal chromosome with male schizophrenia
Introduction Schizophrenia's heritability and familial transmission have been known for several decades. The male‐specific Y chromosome plays an important role in schizophrenia.

Invasive Allele Spread under Preemptive Competition
We study a discrete spatial model for invasive allele spread in which two alleles compete preemptively, initially only the "residents" (weaker competitors) being present.

Methods for Scarless, Selection-Free Generation of Human Cells and Allele-Specific Functional Analysis of Disease-Associated SNPs and Variants of Uncertain Significance. [PDF]
With the continued emergence of risk loci from Genome-Wide Association studies and variants of uncertain significance identified from patient sequencing, better methods are required to translate these human genetic findings into improvements in public ...

Functional polymorphisms in the P2X7 receptor gene are associated with stress fracture injury [PDF]
Context: Military recruits and elite athletes are susceptible to stress fracture injuries. Genetic predisposition has been postulated to have a role in their development.
