Abstract Objective Noninvasive Prenatal Diagnosis has recently been introduced for a limited number of monogenetic disorders. However, the majority of DNA diagnostics still require fetal material obtained using an invasive test. Recently, a novel technique, TRIC (Trophoblast Retrieval and Isolation from the Cervix), has been described, which collects ...

On the Complexity of Several Haplotyping Problems [PDF]
In this paper we present a collection of results pertaining to haplotyping. The first set of results concerns the combinatorial problem of reconstructing haplotypes from incomplete and/or imperfectly sequenced haplotype data. More specifically, we show that an interesting, restricted case of Minimum Error Correction (MEC) is NP-hard, point out problems

On the Complexity of the Single Individual SNP Haplotyping Problem [PDF]
We present several new results pertaining to haplotyping. These results concern the combinatorial problem of reconstructing haplotypes from incomplete and/or imperfectly sequenced haplotype fragments. We consider the complexity of the problems Minimum Error Correction (MEC) and Longest Haplotype Reconstruction (LHR) for different restrictions on the ...

ABSTRACT Pathogenic germline variants in the APC gene result in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) which can escalate into colon cancer. Standard clinical testing failed to identify pathogenic variants in a 4‐generation FAP family. We identified and assessed co‐segregation of a 5′ untranslated region (UTR) variant, NM_001127511.3 (APC) c.‐40G>A ...

Pedigree reconstruction for triploid apple cultivars using single nucleotide polymorphism array data
Many economically, culturally, and historically important apple cultivars are triploids, which have three copies of each chromosome instead of the more typical two copies in diploids. Despite their prevalence and importance, there have been conflicting reports regarding their origin and their ability to beget diploids.

Haplotypes versus Genotypes on Pedigrees [PDF]
Genome sequencing will soon produce haplotype data for individuals. For pedigrees of related individuals, sequencing appears to be an attractive alternative to genotyping. However, methods for pedigree analysis with haplotype data have not yet been developed, and the computational complexity of such problems has been an open question.

ComHapDet: A Spatial Community Detection Algorithm for Haplotype Assembly [PDF]
Background: Haplotypes, the ordered lists of single nucleotide variations that distinguish chromosomal sequences from their homologous pairs, may reveal an individual's susceptibility to hereditary and complex diseases and affect how our bodies respond to therapeutic drugs. Reconstructing haplotypes of an individual from short sequencing reads is an NP-

ABSTRACT Externalizing traits and behaviors are broadly defined by impairments in self‐regulation and impulse control that typically begin in childhood and adolescence. Externalizing behaviors, traits, and symptoms span a range of traditional psychiatric diagnostic categories.

ABSTRACT A large proportion of patients undergoing cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) for obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) do not respond sufficiently to treatment. Identifying predictors for change in symptom severity after treatment could inform clinical decision‐making, allow for better‐tailored interventions, and avoid treatment failure.

Haplotype-based variant detection from short-read sequencing [PDF]
The direct detection of haplotypes from short-read DNA sequencing data requires changes to existing small-variant detection methods. Here, we develop a Bayesian statistical framework which is capable of modeling multiallelic loci in sets of individuals with non-uniform copy number.
