The Genetics of Spondyloarthritis [PDF]
Journal of Personalized Medicine, 2020 The term spondyloarthritis (SpA) encompasses a group of chronic inflammatory diseases with common features in terms of clinical presentation and genetic predisposition. SpA is characterized by inflammation of the spine and peripheral joints, and is also be associated with extra-articular inflammatory manifestations such as psoriasis, uveitis, or ...

Biological Reviews, 2017 ABSTRACTDispersal is a process of central importance for the ecological and evolutionary dynamics of populations and communities, because of its diverse consequences for gene flow and demography. It is subject to evolutionary change, which begs the question, what is the genetic basis of this potentially complex trait?

Psychiatric Genetics Before “Genetics” [PDF]
American Journal of Psychiatry, 2021 I write this in terrible times. Across the world, a pandemic rages nearly unchecked when simple behavioral changes could save many lives. Psychiatric disorders and their sequalae have sharply increased. The role of science, logic, data, and expertise have been pushed to the curb in favor of those who shout loudest.

Genetics of osteoporosis [PDF]
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2007 Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component characterized by reduced bone mass and an increased risk of fragility fractures. Twin and family studies have shown that the heritability of bone mineral density and other determinants of fracture risk, such as ultrasound properties of bone, skeletal geometry, and bone turnover, is high ...

Genetic modification and genetic determinism. [PDF]
Philosophy, ethics, and humanities in medicine : PEHM, 2006 In this article we examine four objections to the genetic modification of human beings: the freedom argument, the giftedness argument, the authenticity argument, and the uniqueness argument. We then demonstrate that each of these arguments against genetic modification assumes a strong version of genetic determinism.

Genetics of the epilepsies [PDF]
Current Opinion in Pediatrics, 1999 Summary: Recent molecular insights into the human idiopathic epilepsies have suggested the central role of ligand‐gated and voltage‐gated ion channels in their etiology. So far, genes coding for sodium and potassium channel subunits as well as a nicotinic cholinergic receptor subunit have been identified for mendelian idiopathic epilepsies.

Using neutral cline decay to estimate contemporary dispersal: a generic tool and its application to a major crop pathogen [PDF]
, 2013 Dispersal is a key parameter of adaptation, invasion and persistence. Yet standard population genetics inference methods hardly distinguish it from drift and many species cannot be studied by direct mark-recapture methods.

Environmental memory from a circadian oscillator:the Arabidopsis thaliana clock differentially integrates perception of photic vs. thermal entrainment [PDF]
, 2011 The constraint of a rotating earth has led to the evolution of a circadian clock that drives anticipation of future environmental changes. During this daily rotation, the circadian clock of Arabidopsis thaliana (Arabidopsis) intersects with the diurnal ...

Genetic ties and genetic mixups [PDF]
Journal of Medical Ethics, 2003 In a recent case in Great Britain, a couple described as “white” underwent in vitro fertilisation and gave birth to twins described as “black”. In the sense of a fair adjudication of this particular case, serving justice requires a thick description and a sensitive understanding of the relevant facts.
