Genetic Risk and High Burden of Depression and Suicide in the Maya‐Mestizo Population of Yucatán, México

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Major depression and suicide are critical public health concerns, particularly in underrepresented populations with unique genetic and sociocultural contexts. The Maya‐mestizo population presents the highest suicide rates in the country but remains understudied in psychiatric genetics. This study evaluated the association between three genetic

Bose-Einstein distribution, condensation transition and multiple stationary states in multiloci evolution of diploid population

open access: yes, 2010
The mapping between genotype and phenotype is encoded in the complex web of epistatic interaction between genetic loci. In this rugged fitness landscape, recombination processes, which tend to increase variation in the population, compete with selection ...

Testing Linkage Disequilibrium in Sibships [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Human Genetics, 2000
We describe the use of multivariate regression for testing allelic association in the presence of linkage, using marker genotype data from sibships. The test is valid, provided that the correct mean structure is modeled but does not require the correlation structure within families to be specified. The test can be implemented using standard statistical

Are There Causal Associations Between Obsessive‐Compulsive Disorder and Cardiometabolic Phenotypes? A Genetic Correlation and Bi‐Directional Mendelian Randomization Study

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In epidemiological studies, obsessive‐compulsive disorder (OCD) is robustly associated with increased risk of cardiometabolic disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. However, the mechanisms behind these associations are unclear. We conducted genetic correlation analyses to explore shared genetic etiology and

Inferring linkage disequilibrium from non-random samples

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2010
Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) plays a fundamental role in population genetics and in the current surge of studies to screen for subtle genetic variants affecting complex traits.

Long-range linkage disequilibrium in French beef cattle breeds

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2021
Background Linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a key parameter to study the history of populations and to identify and fine map quantitative trait loci (QTL) and it has been studied for many years in animal populations.

Linkage Disequilibrium in Domestic Sheep [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics, 2002
Abstract The last decade has seen a dramatic increase in the number of livestock QTL mapping studies. The next challenge awaiting livestock geneticists is to determine the actual genes responsible for variation of economically important traits.

Complementary multi‐omics profiling of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension reveals immune cell alterations, epigenetic changes, and genetically supported candidate genes

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study presents an integrative multi‐omics framework to uncover the molecular mechanisms and potential biomarkers of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH). Anthropometric and biochemical data were correlated using canonical correlation analysis, revealing key cardiometabolic associations. Single‐cell RNA sequencing identified immune

Decay of linkage disequilibrium within genes across HGDP-CEPH human samples: most population isolates do not show increased LD

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2009
Background It is well known that the pattern of linkage disequilibrium varies between human populations, with remarkable geographical stratification.

Similar patterns of genetic diversity and linkage disequilibrium in Western chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes verus) and humans indicate highly conserved mechanisms of MHC molecular evolution

open access: yesBMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020
Background Many species are threatened with extinction as their population sizes decrease with changing environments or face novel pathogenic threats.
