Stroke and Alzheimer’s Disease: A Mendelian Randomization Study
Stroke and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are common neurological diseases. Several exiting studies indicated that late onset-AD and ischemic stroke have shared genetic links. Different kinds of stroke have different mechanisms.

Environmental pleiotropy and demographic history direct adaptation under antibiotic selection [PDF]
Evolutionary rescue following environmental change requires mutations permitting population growth in the new environment. If change is severe enough to prevent most of the population reproducing, rescue becomes reliant on mutations already present.

Artificial selection is often associated with numerous changes in seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. The genetic mechanisms of correlated phenotypes probably involve pleiotropy or linkage of genes related to such phenotypes.

We varied the gain-of-function mutation rate, μ, using values 10-fold lower than the typical value used in the main text, and assumed that the evolution of pleiotropy decreases group function by 2%.

Increasing oil content in oilseed mustard (Brassica juncea) is a major breeding objective—more so, in the lines that have “0” erucic acid content (< 2% of the seed oil) as earlier studies have shown negative pleiotropic effect of erucic acid loci on ...

A genotype and phenotype analysis of SMAD6 mutant patients with radioulnar synostosis
Background SMAD6 variants have been reported in patients with radioulnar synostosis (RUS). This study aimed to investigate the genotypes and phenotypes for a large cohort of patients with RUS having mutant SMAD6. Methods Genomic DNA samples were isolated

Both growth and immune capacity are important traits in animal breeding. The animal quantitative trait loci (QTL) database is a valuable resource and can be used for interpreting the genetic mechanisms that underlie growth and immune traits. However, QTL

Trade‐offs between life history traits are expected to occur due to the limited amount of resources that organisms can obtain and share among biological functions, but are of least concern for selection responses in nutrient‐rich or benign environments ...

The Gene scb-1 Underlies Variation in Caenorhabditis elegans Chemotherapeutic Responses
Pleiotropy, the concept that a single gene controls multiple distinct traits, is prevalent in most organisms and has broad implications for medicine and agriculture.
