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 کاملExchangeable Variable Models
A sequence of random variables is exchangeable if its joint distribution is invariant under variable permutations. We introduce exchangeable variable models (EVMs) as a novel class of probabilistic models whose basic building blocks are partially exchangeable sequences, a generalization of exchangeable sequences. We prove that a family of tractable EVMs is optimal under zeroone loss for a large...
متن کاملPeripheral neuropathy in complex inherited diseases: an approach to diagnosis.
Peripheral neuropathy is a common finding in patients with complex inherited neurological diseases and may be subclinical or a major component of the phenotype. This review aims to provide a clinical approach to the diagnosis of this complex group of patients by addressing key questions including the predominant neurological syndrome associated with the neuropathy, for example, spasticity, the ...
متن کاملInherited neuronal ion channelopathies: new windows on complex neurological diseases.
Studies of genetic forms of epilepsy, chronic pain, and migraine caused by mutations in ion channels have given crucial insights into molecular mechanisms, pathogenesis, and therapeutic approaches to complex neurological disorders. Gain-of-function missense mutations in the brain type-I sodium channel Na(V)1.1 are a primary cause of generalized epilepsy with febrile seizures plus. Loss-of-funct...
