Runs of Homozygosity in European Populations [PDF]

open access: yesThe American Journal of Human Genetics, 2008
Estimating individual genome-wide autozygosity is important both in the identification of recessive disease variants via homozygosity mapping and in the investigation of the effects of genome-wide homozygosity on traits of biomedical importance. Approaches have tended to involve either single-point estimates or rather complex multipoint methods of ...

Runs of homozygosity and analysis of inbreeding depression [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Animal Science, 2020
Abstract Pedigree information was traditionally used to assess inbreeding. The availability of high-density marker panels provides an alternative to assess inbreeding, particularly in the presence of incomplete and error-prone pedigrees.

Long runs of homozygosity are associated with Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]

open access: yesTranslational Psychiatry, 2021
AbstractLong runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous stretches of homozygous genotypes, which are a footprint of inbreeding and recessive inheritance. The presence of recessive loci is suggested for Alzheimer’s disease (AD); however, their search has been poorly assessed to date.

Ethnic Identity and Genome Wide Runs of Homozygosity [PDF]

open access: yesBehavior Genetics, 2021
AbstractIt is long known that inbreeding increases the detrimental effects of recessive sequence variants in “Runs of Homozygosity” (ROHs). However, although the phenotypic association of ROH has been investigated for a variety of traits, the statistical power of the results often remains limited as a sufficiently high number of cases are available for

Runs of homozygosity and testicular cancer risk [PDF]

open access: yesAndrology, 2019
AbstractBackgroundTesticular germ cell tumour (TGCT) is highly heritable but > 50% of the genetic risk remains unexplained. Epidemiological observation of greater relative risk to brothers of men with TGCT compared to sons has long alluded to recessively acting TGCT genetic susceptibility factors, but to date none have been reported.

Genomic prediction based on runs of homozygosity [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics Selection Evolution, 2014
Genomic prediction is based on the accurate estimation of the genomic relationships among and between training animals and selection candidates in order to obtain accurate estimates of the genomic estimated breeding values (GEBV). Various methods have been used to predict GEBV based on population-wide linkage disequilibrium relationships (G IBS ) or ...

Runs of homozygosity and population history in cattle [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2012
Abstract Background Runs of homozygosity (ROH) are contiguous lengths of homozygous genotypes that are present in an individual due to parents transmitting identical haplotypes to their offspring. The extent and frequency of ROHs may inform on the ancestry of an individual and its population. Here we use high density (

The German Shorthair Pointer Dog Breed (Canis lupus familiaris): Genomic Inbreeding and Variability

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
The German Shorthaired Pointer (GSHP) is a breed worldwide known for its hunting versatility. Dogs of this breed are appreciated as valuable companions, effective trackers, field trailers and obedience athletes. The aim of the present work is to describe

Temporal and region‐specific variations in genome‐wide inbreeding effects on female size and reproduction traits of rainbow trout

open access: yesEvolutionary Applications, 2022
Recent studies have shown that current levels of inbreeding, estimated by runs of homozygosity (ROH), are moderate to high in farmed rainbow trout lines.

Hybrid Versus Autochthonous Turkey Populations: Homozygous Genomic Regions Occurrences Due to Artificial and Natural Selection

open access: yesAnimals, 2020
The Mexican turkey population is considered to be the descendant of the original domesticated wild turkey and it is distinct from hybrid strains obtained by the intense artificial selection activity that has occurred during the last 40 years.
