Evidence for an Alzheimer disease susceptibility locus on chromosome 12 and for further locus heterogeneity.
CONTEXT Alzheimer disease (AD) susceptibility genes have been identified on chromosomes 1, 14, 19, and 21, and a recent study has suggested a locus on chromosome 12. OBJECTIVE To confirm or refute the existence of a familial AD susceptibility locus on chromosome 12 in an independent sample of familial AD cases. DESIGN Retrospective cohort study. DNA data for 6 chromosome 12 genetic markers ...
متن کاملSusceptibility locus for Alzheimer's disease on chromosome 10.
The apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene is the only genetic risk factor that has so far been linked to risk for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). However, 50 percent of Alzheimer's disease cases do not carry an APOE4 allele, suggesting that other risk factors must exist. We performed a two-stage genome-wide screen in sibling pairs with LOAD to detect other susceptibility loci. Here we report evid...
متن کاملA strabismus susceptibility locus on chromosome 7p.
Strabismus has been known to have a significant genetic component, but the mode of inheritance and the identity of the relevant genes have been enigmatic. This paper reports linkage analysis of nonsyndromic strabismus. The principal results of this study are: (i) the demonstrated feasibility of identifying and recruiting large families in which multiple members have (or had) strabismus; (ii) th...
متن کاملLinkage mapping of a novel susceptibility locus for Behçet's disease to chromosome 6p22-23.
OBJECTIVE The etiology of Behçet's disease is unknown; however, familial aggregation studies indicate a strong genetic background and a complex inheritance model. Association of HLA-B51 with Behçet's disease is regarded as being the strongest evidence of genetic contribution described to date. A low rate of recombination was observed within the telomeric end of the major histocompatibility comp...
متن کاملA susceptibility locus for papillary thyroid carcinoma on chromosome 8q24.
Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) displays higher heritability than most other cancers. To search for genes predisposing to PTC, we performed a genome-wide linkage analysis in a large family with PTC and melanoma. Among several peaks the highest was at 8q24, with a maximum nonparametric linkage (NPL) score of 7.03. Linkage analysis was then broadened to comprise 25 additional PTC families that ...
