ASAFE: ancestry-specific allele frequency estimation [PDF]
Abstract Summary: In a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of an admixed population, such as Hispanic Americans, ancestry-specific allele frequencies can inform the design of a replication GWAS. We derive an EM algorithm to estimate ancestry-specific allele frequencies for a bi-allelic marker given genotypes and local ancestries on a 3 ...

The effect of recurrent mutations on genetic diversity in a large population of varying size [PDF]
Recurrent mutations are a common phenomenon in population genetics. They may be at the origin of the fixation of a new genotype, if they give a phenotypic advantage to the carriers of the new mutation.

Genome-Wide Screening for SNPs Associated with Stature in Diverse Cattle Breeds
Cattle breeds used in industrial production tend to have a larger size compared to the local cattle, as the increased dairy and beef productivity is closely related to the stature. The aim of our work was to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)

Association of the leptin receptor Q223R (rs1137101) polymorphism with obesity measures in Sri Lankans [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The role of genetic factors in the development of obesity is largely unreported in Sri Lankans. The Q223R (rs1137101) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of the leptin receptor (LEPR) gene has been associated with obesity measures in various ...

The prevalence and distribution of the amyloidogenic transthyretin (TTR) V122I allele in Africa [PDF]
Transthyretin (TTR) pV142I (rs76992529-A) is one of the 113 variants in the human TTR gene associated with systemic amyloidosis. It results from a G to A transition at a CG dinucleotide in the codon for amino acid 122 of the mature protein (TTR V122I ...

Allelic variants of breast cancer susceptibility genes PALB2 and RECQL in the Latvian population
Background Large-scale case control studies revealed a number of moderate risk - low frequency breast cancer alleles of the PALB2 and RECQL genes. Some of these were reported as founder variants of Central and Eastern Europe.
