Human Genetic Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesBioMed Research International, 2015
There is no question that the rapid advance in genetic technology is changing our viewpoint on medical practice, which is dramatically improving the diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of human genetic disease. In particular, the next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies, such as exome sequencing and whole-genome sequencing, and gene editing ...

Genetics of human neural tube defects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are common, severe congenital malformations whose causation involves multiple genes and environmental factors. Although more than 200 genes are known to cause NTDs in mice, there has been rather limited progress in delineating ...

Human genetic admixture

open access: yesPLOS Genetics, 2021
Throughout human history, large-scale migrations have facilitated the formation of populations with ancestry from multiple previously separated populations. This process leads to subsequent shuffling of genetic ancestry through recombination, producing variation in ancestry between populations, among individuals in a population, and along the genome ...

Comparative expression analysis of Shox2-deficient embryonic stem cell-derived sinoatrial node-like cells

open access: yesStem Cell Research, 2017
The homeodomain transcription factor Shox2 controls the development and function of the native cardiac pacemaker, the sinoatrial node (SAN). Moreover, SHOX2 mutations have been associated with cardiac arrhythmias in humans.

The Opportunities and Challenges of Integrating Population Histories Into Genetic Studies for Diverse Populations: A Motivating Example From Native Hawaiians

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
There is a well-recognized need to include diverse populations in genetic studies, but several obstacles continue to be prohibitive, including (but are not limited to) the difficulty of recruiting individuals from diverse populations in large numbers and
