Age-based partitioning of individual genomic inbreeding levels in Belgian Blue cattle

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2017
Background Inbreeding coefficients can be estimated either from pedigree data or from genomic data, and with genomic data, they are either global or local (when the linkage map is used).

Genomic Diversity as a Key Conservation Criterion: Proof‐of‐Concept From Mammalian Whole‐Genome Resequencing Data

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications
Many international, national, state, and local organizations prioritize the ranking of threatened and endangered species to help direct conservation efforts. For example, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) assesses the Green Status

Genotype-phenotype correlation and description of two novel mutations in Iranian patients with glycogen storage disease 1b (GSD1b)

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2020
Background Glycogen storage disease (GSD) is a rare inborn error of the synthesis or degradation of glycogen metabolism. GSD1, the most common type of GSD, is categorized into GSD1a and GSD1b which caused by the deficiency of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6PC)

Runs of homozygosity reveal genome-wide autozygosity in Italian sheep breeds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
The availability of dense single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) assays allows for the determination of autozygous segments based on runs of consecutive homozygous genotypes (ROH).

Clinical applications of Genome Polymorphism Scans

open access: yesBiology Direct, 2006
Applications of Genome Polymorphism Scans range from the relatively simple such as gender determination and confirmation of biological relationships, to the relatively complex such as determination of autozygosity and propagation of genetic information ...

Genome-wide autozygosity is associated with lower general cognitive ability

open access: yes, 2018
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 ...

No Reliable Association between Runs of Homozygosity and Schizophrenia in a Well-Powered Replication Study.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2016
It is well known that inbreeding increases the risk of recessive monogenic diseases, but it is less certain whether it contributes to the etiology of complex diseases such as schizophrenia.

Associations of autozygosity with a broad range of human phenotypes

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 ...

Recent artificial selection in U.S. Jersey cattle impacts autozygosity levels of specific genomic regions [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Background: Genome signatures of artificial selection in U.S. Jersey cattle were identified by examining changes in haplotype homozygosity for a resource population of animals born between 1953 and 2007.
