PTPN2 gene variants are associated with susceptibility to both Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis supporting a common genetic disease background. [PDF]
Genome-wide association studies identified PTPN2 (protein tyrosine phosphatase, non-receptor type 2) as susceptibility gene for inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

SNP+ to predict dropout rates in SNP arrays
AbstractGenotyping individuals using forensic or non-invasive samples such as hair or fecal samples increases the risk of allelic amplification failure (dropout) due to the low quality and quantity of DNA. One way to decrease genotyping errors is to increase the number of replicates per sample.

SNP-VISTA: An interactive SNP visualization tool [PDF]
Abstract Background Recent advances in sequencing technologies promise to provide a better understanding of the genetics of human disease as well as the evolution of microbial populations. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) are established genetic markers that aid in the identification of loci affecting quantitative ...

SNP by SNP by environment interaction network of alcoholism [PDF]
Alcoholism has a strong genetic component. Twin studies have demonstrated the heritability of a large proportion of phenotypic variance of alcoholism ranging from 50-80%. The search for genetic variants associated with this complex behavior has epitomized sequence-based studies for nearly a decade. The limited success of genome-wide association studies

Stairway Plot 2: demographic history inference with folded SNP frequency spectra
Inferring the demographic histories of populations has wide applications in population, ecological, and conservation genomics. We present Stairway Plot 2, a cross-platform program package for this task using SNP frequency spectra.

SNP-SNP interactions in breast cancer susceptibility [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundBreast cancer predisposition genes identified to date (e.g., BRCA1 and BRCA2) are responsible for less than 5% of all breast cancer cases. Many studies have shown that the cancer risks associated with individual commonly occurring single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are incremental.

NABIC SNP: an integrated database for SNP markers [PDF]
The National Agricultural Biotechnology Information Center (NABIC) constructed a web-based database to provide information about 54,310 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) identified in the seven species in a high-throughput manner. The database consists of three major functional categories: SNP marker search, detailed information viewer and ...

Serum cholesterol is a significant and independent mortality predictor in liver cirrhosis patients
Background and Aim. Accurate assessment of cirrhotic patient’s prognosis is essential for decisions regarding the course of treatment. Therefore we aimed to confirm and quantify the predictive value of serum cholesterol and serum triglycerides in liver ...
