Exchangeable models of complex inherited diseases.
A model of unlinked diallelic loci affecting the risk of a complex inherited disease is explored. The loci are equivalent in their effect on disease risk and are in Hardy-Weinberg and linkage equilibrium. The goal is to determine what assumptions about dependence of disease risk on genotype are consistent with data for diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, and multiple scler...
متن کاملAnimal Models of Inherited Metabolic Diseases
ond chapter is a clinical dissertation on Cushing's syndrome, combining basic and clinical science in a succinct and comprehensive marriage. Other outstanding articles within this book are the discussions of inhibin in Debeljuk and Rettori's chapter on gonadal hormones and gonadotropin secretion and the opioid regulation of pituitary secretion by Frantz et al., with a lucid explanation of the r...
متن کاملUnderwriting Dominantly Inherited Diseases Underwriting Dominantly Inherited Diseases
Geneticists worry that their patients and the patients’ families will be subject to unfair discrimination by medical underwriters when the results of DNA tests show that the patients are predisposed to certain diseases. They point out that these individuals may be healthy at the time the test is carried out and that, without the test, they would be considered standard insurance risks. This appr...
متن کاملResponses of primary somatosensory cortical neurons to controlled mechanical stimulation.
The results of psychophysical studies suggest that displacement velocity may contribute significantly to the sensation of subcortical somatosensory neurons. The cortical correlates of these phenomena, however, are not known. In the present study the responses of rapidly adapting (RA) neurons in the forelimb region of cat primary somatosensory cortex (SI) to controlled displacement of skin and h...
متن کاملThe Inherited Metabolic Diseases
I am usually highly resistant to exhortations from reviewers that a particular book is 'essential reading'. But now and again one appears which should command our attention and I urge all paediatricians to read Penelope Leach's new book. Her case is that 'post-industrial western societies', such as the UK, ignore or override the special needs of children to such an extent that they miss out and...
