Detecting autozygosity through runs of homozygosity: A comparison of three autozygosity detection algorithms [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2011
Background A central aim for studying runs of homozygosity (ROHs) in genome-wide SNP data is to detect the effects of autozygosity (stretches of the two homologous chromosomes within the same individual that are identical by descent) on phenotypes ...

Characterization of Autozygosity in Pigs in Three-Way Crossbreeding [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Crossbreeding in livestock can be used to increase genetic diversity. The resulting increase in variability is related to the heterozygosity of the crossbred animal. The evolution of diversity during crossbreeding can be assessed using genomic data.

Associations of autozygosity with a broad range of human phenotypes [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Inbreeding depression has been observed in many different species, but in humans a systematic analysis has been difficult so far. Here, analysing more than 1.3 million individuals, the authors show that a genomic inbreeding coefficient (FROH) is ...

Measures of autozygosity in decline: globalization, urbanization, and its implications for medical genetics.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2009
This research investigates the influence of demographic factors on human genetic sub-structure. In our discovery cohort, we show significant demographic trends for decreasing autozygosity associated with population variation in chronological age ...

Runs of homozygosity implicate autozygosity as a schizophrenia risk factor.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2012
Autozygosity occurs when two chromosomal segments that are identical from a common ancestor are inherited from each parent. This occurs at high rates in the offspring of mates who are closely related (inbreeding), but also occurs at lower levels among ...

Autozygosity in a Turkish family with scoliosis, blindness, and arachnodactyly syndrome [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Saudi Medicine, 2015
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Blindness-scoliosis-arachnodactyly syndrome has been described in a family with parental consanguinity. We present the strategy employed to determine the gene locus responsible for the syndrome.

Relationships between estimated autozygosity and complex traits in the UK Biobank.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2018
Inbreeding increases the risk of certain Mendelian disorders in humans but may also reduce fitness through its effects on complex traits and diseases. Such inbreeding depression is thought to occur due to increased homozygosity at causal variants that ...

Weighted likelihood inference of genomic autozygosity patterns in dense genotype data

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2017
Background Genomic regions of autozygosity (ROA) arise when an individual is homozygous for haplotypes inherited identical-by-descent from ancestors shared by both parents.

A Dominant Founder Lineage Has Possible Fitness Costs for the Endangered Mexican Grey Wolf. [PDF]

open access: yesMol Ecol
ABSTRACT The Mexican grey wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) is an endangered and genetically distinct subspecies of grey wolf adapted to the warm climates of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Following centuries of eradication efforts, Mexican grey wolves were protected under the Endangered Species Act in 1976, prompting an international ex situ ...

No Pedigree, No Problem: Genomic Inbreeding Tracks Genetic Rescue With High Resolution. [PDF]

open access: yesEvol Appl
ABSTRACT With increasing habitat fragmentation and population isolation, inbreeding becomes a pressing concern for the persistence of wildlife populations. Detailed inbreeding monitoring is crucial for assessing extinction risk and evaluating the effectiveness of conservation management strategies.
