โœฆ Synopsis

Microdeletions have been associated with several complex diseases including autism and schizophrenia and also cause numerous simple genetic diseases such as neurofibromatosis. To date, no statistical basis has been available for the identification of microdeletions in family studies. Here, we present an approach to the identification of either stably inherited or de novo microdeletions for parent-affected offspring trios. The method is sufficiently general for application using either single nucleotide polymorphisms or microsatellites. In addition to general algorithmic development, we have also studied the behavior of our methods for SNPs under varying

This study examined the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and a T/C polymorphism in the first of two start (ATG) codons in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene. The polymorphism was detected using the restriction enzyme FokI, the F allele indicating absence of the first ATG and the f allel

In recent years, there has been a focus on to understand the etiology of complex diseases which do not follow simple Mendelian, single-locus segregation. Complex diseases are assumed to be the result of more than one locus and/ or environmental factors and are thought to be influenced by many interm

Leprosy is a chronic infectious disease that is still a major global health problem with 700,000 new cases occurring each year. The disease presents itself in different clinical manifestations, ranging from single lesion paucibacillary to severe, multiple lesion multibacillary forms. In order to ide
