Ecogeographic genetic epidemiology [PDF]
Genetic Epidemiology, 2008 AbstractComplex diseases such as cancer and heart disease result from interactions between an individual's genetics and environment, i.e. their human ecology. Rates of complex diseases have consistently demonstrated geographic patterns of incidence, or spatial “clusters” of increased incidence relative to the general population.

British Medical Bulletin, 1996 Studies of families, twins, and adoptees have helped to quantify the genetic contributions to and overlaps between depression, anxiety, phobias and alcoholism, and to refine the boundaries of the schizophrenia spectrum. Analyses of covariance structures in twin data have confirmed genetic susceptibility and recent life stresses as the major ...

Monitoring genetic population biomarkers for wastewater-based epidemiology [PDF]
, 2017 We report a rapid “sample-to-answer” platform that can be used for the quantitative monitoring of genetic biomarkers within communities through the analysis of wastewater. The assay is based on the loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) of nucleic

Genetic epidemiology: Systemic sclerosis [PDF]
Arthritis Research & Therapy, 2002 Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a multisystem connective tissue disease characterised phenotypically by fibrosis and ischaemic atrophy. Its aetiology is most likely multifactorial. A genetic predisposition to the condition is suggested by reports of familial SSc (a positive family history is the strongest risk factor yet identified), by animal models, and ...
