A genome wide scan for familial high myopia suggests a novel locus on chromosome 7q36.
High myopia often appears as a familial disease. It is usually defined as a refraction error equal to or below −6 diopters (D) in each eye. Highly myopic patients represent 27-33% of the myopic population. The prevalence of the disease in the general population varies according to the country, from 2.1% in the USA, to 3.2% in France, and up to 9.6% in Spain. High myopia is also termed “patholog...
متن کاملAtopic dermatitis -- a total genome-scan for susceptibility genes.
Atopic dermatitis is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood and closely related to other clinical manifestations of allergy. The incidence is high and still increasing. The genetic contribution to disease development is substantial and complex. Only recently genetic research has begun to focus on this phenotype, and specific susceptibility genes remain to be found. To identify can...

متن کاملA genome scan for developmental dyslexia confirms linkage to chromosome 2p11 and suggests a new locus on 7q32.
Developmental dyslexia is a distinct learning disability with unexpected difficulty in learning to read despite adequate intelligence, education, and environment, and normal senses. The genetic aetiology of dyslexia is heterogeneous and loci on chromosomes 2, 3, 6, 15, and 18 have been repeatedly linked to it. We have conducted a genome scan with 376 markers in 11 families with 38 dyslexic subj...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan for coronary heart disease suggests in Indo-Mauritians a susceptibility locus on chromosome 16p13 and replicates linkage with the metabolic syndrome on 3q27.
Prevalence of coronary heart disease (CHD), of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and of the metabolic syndrome are in Mauritius amongst the highest in the world. As T2DM and CHD are closely associated and have both a polygenic basis, we conducted a 10 cM genome scan with 403 microsatellite markers in 99 independent families of North-Eastern Indian origin including 535 individuals. Families were ascertaine...
