Are Molecular Haplotypes Worth the Time and Expense? A Cost-Effective Method for Applying Molecular Haplotypes
Because current molecular haplotyping methods are expensive and not amenable to automation, many researchers rely on statistical methods to infer haplotype pairs from multilocus genotypes, and subsequently treat these inferred haplotype pairs as observations. These procedures are prone to haplotype misclassification. We examine the effect of these misclassification errors on the false-positive ...

متن کاملA method for inferring evolutionary relationships among haplotypes, exemplified by haplotypes at the monoamine oxidase locus
In the search for genetic variants affecting liability to complex diseases, haplotype data have received increasing recognition. When there are more than a few haplotypes, one way to assess the association between disease status and haplotypes is to reconstruct their evolutionary history. To achieve that goal, we combine information from two sources: (1) the inferred network relating haplotypes...
متن کاملMolecular differentiation of schizoaffective disorder from schizophrenia using BDNF haplotypes.
BACKGROUND Allelic variation in the gene encoding brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) has been associated with affective disorders, but generally not schizophrenia. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor variants may help clarify the status of schizoaffective disorder. AIMS To test the hypothesis that BDNF haplotypes are associated with psychiatric illness marked by a prominent affective comp...
متن کاملUse of cost effective and rapid molecular tools for identification of Candida species, opportunistic pathogens
Background and Purpose :Candidiasis is a widespread fungal infection caused by different Candida species. Rapid identification of Candida species in clinical laboratory is becoming increasingly important since the identification and discrimination of ethological agents for early treatment. We aimed at molecular identification of commonly Candida species isolated from clinical samples by using b...
