The genetics of human obesity [PDF]

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2005
Obesity is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries, and is also becoming increasingly prevalent in the developing world. Although environmental factors are important, there is considerable evidence that genes also have a significant role in its pathogenesis.

Genetics of human cancer

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1986
Study of hereditary cancer in humans has revealed new mechanisms in carcinogenesis. In particular, a new class of cancer gene, recessive in oncogenesis, accounts for dominantly transmitted predisposition to some cancers, and may play a primary role in the nonhereditary forms of most cancers.

The Genetics of Human Longevity

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2006
Abstract:  Aging is due to a complex interaction of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors, but a strong genetic component appears to have an impact on survival to extreme ages. In order to identify “longevity genes” in humans, different strategies are now available.

The human genetic map

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1992
The introduction of new technology and increased effort from around the world is driving the completion of the human gene map. In parallel with the creation of the map, we are beginning to see the biomedical benefits that are a direct consequence of learning more about our own genome.

Human genetics of GPR54 [PDF]

Reviews in Endocrine and Metabolic Disorders, 2007
Idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism (IHH) is a condition characterized by absence of sexual maturation in the setting of low sex steroids and low/normal gonadotropins. Despite its rarity, considerable genetic heterogeneity and phenotypic variability exists in this disorder.

Human Genetic Disorders [PDF]

, 2002
The field of genetics continues to evolve at a rapid pace. The completion of the Human Genome project coupled with advancing scientific techniques has led to the explosion of genetic information and testing capabilities ranging from rare genetic conditions to common and sometimes preventable conditions.

Human genetics of osteoporosis

Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2008
A family history of hip fracture carries a twofold increased risk of fracture among descendants. Genetic factors indeed play a major role in the determination of bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis risk. Multiple chromosomal loci have been mapped by linkage approaches which potentially carry hundreds of genes involved in the determination of ...
