Candidate Genes in Eating Disorders

Current Drug Target -CNS & Neurological Disorders, 2003
Environmental influences, as well as biological and genetic factors influence risk for eating disorders. Family and twin studies have shown that eating disorders are familial and suggest the influence of genetic factors on their etiology. Positive associations have been observed for some candidate genes that have been studied (such as 5HT2A receptor ...

POLYMORPHISMS OF CANDIDATE GENES IN ESSENTIAL HYPERTENSION

Clinical and Experimental Pharmacology and Physiology, 1992
SUMMARY1. Family and population studies have reported that blood pressure has a heritability of 30–50%, but simple genetic models do not readily explain the patterns of inheritance of hypertension.2. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms were used to study allele frequencies of a selection of candidate genes that may be important in determining the

On improving the credibility of candidate gene studies: A review of candidate gene studies published in Emotion.

Emotion, 2015
The discovery of genetic variants associated with psychological traits deepens our knowledge about causes and consequences of individual differences. In psychology, the standard approach to identify these variants is the "candidate gene study." In a candidate gene study, a limited set of genetic variants is selected based on their hypothesized or known

Selection of Candidate Genes in Hypertension

2005
Essential hypertension is a common disease with multifactorial etiology affecting up to 10 million individuals in the United Kingdom alone. Current knowledge of the genetic contribution to this trait is restricted to a number of rare variants that produce hypertensive phenotypes in a Mendelian fashion and to genes highlighted by work on blood pressure ...

Candidate Gene Association Analysis

2009
Candidate gene association study is the most common method for associating human genetic variations with the phenotypes they produce, due to the relative simplicity of acquiring patient samples and genotype data. The study design begins with identifying appropriate DNA samples and an appropriate phenotype for analysis.

Candidate Gene Association Studies

2010
Candidate gene association studies aim to establish or characterise association between the genetic -variation occurring within a specific gene or locus and a phenotype. If the phenotype is quantitative, then the effect size is often measured as the difference between the genotype specific means or a per allele effect.
