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 ...

Runs of homozygosity implicate autozygosity as a schizophrenia risk factor. [PDF]

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 ...

Approaching autozygosity in a small pedigree of Gochu Asturcelta pigs [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2023
Background In spite of the availability of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array data, differentiation between observed homozygosity and that caused by mating between relatives (autozygosity) introduces major difficulties.

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

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 ...

Genome-wide autozygosity is associated with lower general cognitive ability [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Psychiatry, 2015
Inbreeding depression refers to lower fitness among offspring of genetic relatives. This reduced fitness is caused by the inheritance of two identical chromosomal segments (autozygosity) across the genome, which may expose the effects of (partially ...

Weighted likelihood inference of genomic autozygosity patterns in dense genotype data [PDF]

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.

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 ...

Autozygosity mapping and time-to-spontaneous delivery in Norwegian parent-offspring trios [PDF]

open access: yesHuman Molecular Genetics, 2020
Parental genetic relatedness may lead to adverse health and fitness outcomes in the offspring. However, the degree to which it affects human delivery timing is unknown.
