Islands of runs of homozygosity indicate selection signatures in Ovis aries 6 (OAR6) of French dairy sheep

JDS Communications, 2021
Graphical Abstract Summary: The occurrence of runs of homozygosity (ROH) is not randomly distributed across the genome, and ROH islands across many animals may be the result of selective pressure.

Novel and known signals of selection for fat deposition in domestic sheep breeds from Africa and Eurasia.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Genomic regions subjected to selection frequently show signatures such as within-population reduced nucleotide diversity and outlier values of differentiation among differentially selected populations.

Psychosocial Outcomes in Patients With Endocrine Tumor Syndromes: A Systematic Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction The combination of disease manifestations, the familial burden, and varying penetrance of endocrine tumor syndromes (ETSs) is unique. This review aimed to portray and summarize available data on psychosocial outcomes in patients with ETSs and explore gaps and opportunities for future research and care.
