The Mendelian analysis of genetic variation, available as induced mutants or as natural variation, requires a number of steps that are described in this chapter. These include the determination of the number of genes involved in the observed trait's variation, the determination of dominance relationships between alleles of the same locus, and epistatic

Genetics and Genetic Counselling
1971In man the genetic code is carried in the nuclear deoxyribonucleic acid (D.N.A.). This D.N.A. is present as long helical double filaments in the chromosomes. The sequence of nucleic acids in these D.N.A. strands determines the nature of the cell proteins and hence the structure and function of the cell.

Molecular Genetics and Genetic Variation
2010This chapter contains brief notes on molecular genetics, focusing on those aspects most frequently encountered in genetic epidemiology. The main sections cover the organisation and physical structure of genetic material, the mechanisms involved in transmitting genetic material from one generation to the next, and forms of genetic variation.

Genetics in medicine and medicine in genetics
The American Journal of Medicine, 1963Abstract The role of genetics in medicine is discussed in the framework of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. The role of medicine in the advancement of genetics is illustrated with a list of ten leading discoveries in human genetics.

The Genetics of Schizophrenia is the Genetics of Neurodevelopment
British Journal of Psychiatry, 1991Genes are now accepted as being important in the aetiology of schizophrenia (Gottesman & Shields, 1982; McGuffinet al,1987), and over the past decade the emphasis in genetic research has shifted away from genetic epidemiology to searching the chromosomal DNA for the genes themselves. Despite this increasing technical sophistication, the application

Genetic counselling and the new genetics
Trends in Genetics, 1988Abstract The mapping of most important human disease genes has already been accomplished, promising epochal changes in health care and disease prevention. This article explores the potential benefits and dangers, emphasizing the high priority that must be given to non-directive genetic counselling.

Genetic imprinting in clinical genetics
Development, 1990ABSTRACT Genetic, and indeed genomic, imprinting does occur in humans. This is manifest at the level of the genome, the individual chromosome, subchromosomal region or fragile site, or the single locus. The best evidence at the single gene level comes from a consideration of familial tumour syndromes.

Annual Review of Genetics, 1995
Inbreeding depression, accumulation and loss of deleterious mutations, loss of genetic variation in small populations, genetic adaptation to captivity and its effect on reintroduction success, and outbreeding depression are reviewed. The impact of genetic factors in endangerment and extinction has been underestimated in some recent publications ...

Psychiatric Services, 1982
One method of investigating the genetic etiology of alcoholism is to study individuals who were separated soon after birth from their alcoholic biological parents. The author and his colleagues conducted a series of such studies in Denmark; they concluded that, despite little exposure to the alcoholic biological parent, the sons of alcoholics were ...
