Identification of candidate genes for dyslexia susceptibility on chromosome 18 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Background: Six independent studies have identified linkage to chromosome 18 for developmental dyslexia or general reading ability. Until now, no candidate genes have been identified to explain this linkage.

Candidate and non-candidate genes in behavior genetics

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Neurobiology, 2013
In this review we discuss recent developments in psychiatric genetics: on the one hand, studies using whole genome approaches (genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and exome sequencing) are coming close to finding genes and molecular variants that contribute to disease susceptibility; on the other candidate genes, such as the serotonin transporter ...

The clinical, personality, and genetic correlates of binge drinking: A controlled association study from India

open access: yesJournal of Mental Health and Human Behaviour, 2018
Background and Objectives: Reasonable amount of literature has been accumulated over the years to indicate that the binge drinkers might be different from the group which does not have any history of binging.

Unifying candidate gene and GWAS Approaches in Asthma. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The first genome wide association study (GWAS) for childhood asthma identified a novel major susceptibility locus on chromosome 17q21 harboring the ORMDL3 gene, but the role of previous asthma candidate genes was not specifically analyzed in this GWAS ...

Allelic distribution of BDNF Val66Met polymorphism in healthy Romanian volunteers

open access: yesTranslational Neuroscience, 2016
Population stratification of functional gene polymorphisms is a potential confounding factor in genetic association studies. The Val66Met (rs6265) single-nucleotide polymorphism in the brain-derived neurotrophic factor gene (BDNF) exhibits one of the ...

Deciphering the Genetic Alterations in PIK3CA Gene Interacting Network and Their Putative Association with Breast Cancer: A Computational Approach [PDF]

open access: yesMiddle East Journal of Cancer
Background: Cancer is a polygenic complex disorder involving a network of genes. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PIK3CA) has been reported as an oncogene that plays a role in many cancer types.

UBE2QL1 is Disrupted by a Constitutional Translocation Associated with Renal Tumor Predisposition and is a Novel Candidate Renal Tumor Suppressor Gene [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Investigation of rare familial forms of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) has led to the identification of genes such as VHL and MET that are also implicated in the pathogenesis of sporadic RCC. In order to identify a novel candidate renal tumor suppressor gene,

Variation in the autism candidate gene GABRB3 modulates tactile sensitivity in typically developing children [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Autism spectrum conditions have a strong genetic component. Atypical sensory sensitivities are one of the core but neglected features of autism spectrum conditions. GABRB3 is a well-characterised candidate gene for autism spectrum conditions.

Targeting 160 candidate genes for blood pressure regulation with a genome-wide genotyping array [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The outcome of Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) has challenged the field of blood pressure (BP) genetics as previous candidate genes have not been among the top loci in these scans.

Bioinformatics methods for identifying candidate disease genes

open access: yesHuman Genomics, 2006
With the explosion in genomic and functional genomics information, methods for disease gene identification are rapidly evolving. Databases are now essential to the process of selecting candidate disease genes.
