Confirmatory Evidence for Linkage of Relative Hand Skill to 2p12-q11

Parent-of-origin effects on handedness and schizophrenia susceptibility on chromosome 2p12-q11.

Schizophrenia and non-right-handedness are moderately associated, and both traits are often accompanied by abnormalities of asymmetrical brain morphology or function. We have found linkage previously of chromosome 2p12-q11 to a quantitative measure of handedness, and we have also found linkage of schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder to this same chromosomal region in a separate study. Now, we...

A genomewide linkage screen for relative hand skill in sibling pairs.

Genomewide quantitative-trait locus (QTL) linkage analysis was performed using a continuous measure of relative hand skill (PegQ) in a sample of 195 reading-disabled sibling pairs from the United Kingdom. This was the first genomewide screen for any measure related to handedness. The mean PegQ in the sample was equivalent to that of normative data, and PegQ was not correlated with tests of read...

diagnostic and developmental potentials of dynamic assessment for writing skill

این پایان نامه بدنبال بررسی کاربرد ارزیابی مستمر در یک محیط یادگیری زبان دوم از طریق طرح چهار سوال تحقیق زیر بود: (1) درک توانایی های فراگیران زمانیکه که از طریق برآورد عملکرد مستقل آنها امکان پذیر نباشد اما در طول جلسات ارزیابی مستمر مشخص شوند; (2) امکان تقویت توانایی های فراگیران از طریق ارزیابی مستمر; (3) سودمندی ارزیابی مستمر در هدایت آموزش فردی به سمتی که به منطقه ی تقریبی رشد افراد حساس ا...

Alstrom syndrome: confirmation of linkage to chromosome 2p12-13 and phenotypic heterogeneity in three affected sibs.

EDITOR—Alström syndrome is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder, which was first described by Alström et al in 1959 as a combination of atypical retinal degeneration, obesity, diabetes mellitus, and neurogenic deafness. Since this first report, further features of the syndrome have been described, including hypertriglyceridaemia, 3 hepatic dysfunction, 5 hyperuricaemia, 3 6 slowly progressive c...
