## Abstract Abdominal fat has been shown to be an important risk factor for many chronic conditions, including diabetes, heart disease, and breast cancer. The objective of this study was to provide evidence for a major gene influence on the ratio of waist to hip circumference (WHR), a measurement c

We use frailty models to analyse the e!ect of latent genetic and environmental risk factors on hazard functions in nuclear families. The approach expresses latent risk factors (frailties) as functions of the e!ects of a single major gene and shared familial risk. The latter may result from shared po

## Abstract Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an important measure of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis and an independent predictor of coronary heart disease. To identify the genetic loci contributing to CAC, we conducted a genome‐wide scan with 374 microsatellite markers by applying admix

Gilles de la Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by both motor and vocal tics affecting approximately 1/10,000 females and 1/2000 males. Because of the success of neuroleptics and other agents interacting with the dopaminergic system in the suppression of tics, a defe
