متن کاملCommon Disease, Multiple Rare (and Distant) Variants
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have emerged as a potentially powerful tool for discovery of new genes for common diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease and stroke. But the common interpretation of GWA findings might be incorrect in many cases, according to a new study by Samuel Dickson, David Goldstein, and colleagues in this issue of PLoS Biology. Their results suggest that the signals i...
متن کاملCommon and rare variants in alcohol dependence.
c h a b c M any lines of evidence converge to show that genetics makes a substantial contribution to the risk for alcohol dependence, explaining about 60% of the variance. However, alcohol dependence is not a Mendelian trait with a simple pattern of inheritance, nor is it deterministic. It is a complex trait like most psychiatric diseases and other common diseases, with both genetic and environ...
متن کاملCommon mitochondrial sequence variants in ischemic stroke.
OBJECTIVE Rare mitochondrial mutations cause neurologic disease, including ischemic stroke and MRI white matter changes. We investigated whether common mitochondrial genetic variants influence risk of sporadic ischemic stroke and, in patients with stroke, the volume of white matter hyperintensity (WMHV). METHODS In this multicenter, mitochondrial genome-wide association study (GWAS), 2284 isc...
متن کاملMolecular Surveying of the Common Variants of Glucose 6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase Gene in Deficient Patients
Glucose 6-phoshphate dehydrogenase is X-chromosome linked that expressed in all tissues. This is the first enzyme of pentose phosphate pathway were 5-carbon sugar Ribose and NADPH were synthesized by coupled oxidation /reduction reactions and this enzyme is a highly polymorphic enzyme in humans. G6PD deficiency are shown to be the cause of haemolytic effect of Fava beans and primaquine. It soon...
