Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism Linkage Map for Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]

, 1988
We have constructed a restriction fragment length polymorphism linkage map for the nuclear genome of the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana. The map, containing 90 randomly distributed molecular markers, is physically very dense; >50% of the genome is ...

Genetic studies on the APOA1-C3-A5 gene cluster in Asian Indians with premature coronary artery disease

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2008
Background The APOA1-C3-A5 gene cluster plays an important role in the regulation of lipids. Asian Indians have an increased tendency for abnormal lipid levels and high risk of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

A genome scan for serum triglyceride in obese nuclear families

Journal of Lipid Research, 2005
Serum triglyceride (TG) levels are increased in extremely obese individuals, indicating abnormalities in lipid metabolism and insulin resistance. We carried out a genome scan for serum TG in 320 nuclear families segregating extreme obesity and normal ...

Replication of linkage at chromosome 20p13 and identification of suggestive sex-differential risk loci for autism spectrum disorder. [PDF]

, 2014
BackgroundAutism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are male-biased and genetically heterogeneous. While sequencing of sporadic cases has identified de novo risk variants, the heritable genetic contribution and mechanisms driving the male bias are less understood.

A combined linkage, microarray and exome analysis suggests MAP3K11 as a candidate gene for left ventricular hypertrophy

BMC Medical Genomics, 2018
Background Electrocardiographic measures of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) are used as predictors of cardiovascular risk. We combined linkage and association analyses to discover novel rare genetic variants involved in three such measures and two ...

Manic Depressive Illness and Tyrosine Hydroxylase Gene: Linkage Heterogeneity and Association

Neurobiology of Disease, 1997
Several studies have implicated the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) locus within the 11p15 region in susceptibility to manic depressive illness (MDI). This possibility was further investigated by both parametric (lod score) and nonparametric (affected-pedigree-

Allele frequency misspecification: effect on power and Type I error of model-dependent linkage analysis of quantitative traits under random ascertainment

BMC Genetics, 2006
Background Studies of model-based linkage analysis show that trait or marker model misspecification leads to decreasing power or increasing Type I error rate.

Distribution of model‐based multipoint heterogeneity lod scores [PDF]

Genetic Epidemiology, 2010
AbstractThe distribution of two‐point heterogeneity lod scores (HLOD) has been intensively investigated because the conventional χ2 approximation to the likelihood ratio test is not directly applicable. However, there was no study investigating th e distribution of the multipoint HLOD despite its wide application.

The genetics of reading disability in an often excluded sample: novel loci suggested for reading disability in Rolandic epilepsy.

PLoS ONE, 2012
BackgroundReading disability (RD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder with genetic basis established in families segregating "pure" dyslexia. RD commonly occurs in neurodevelopmental disorders including Rolandic Epilepsy (RE), a complex genetic ...

, 2003
Key points: • Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a genetic disorder in which an affected subject is born with a head circumference >3 SD below the expected mean and is mentally retarded.
