Low-density lipoprotein particle size loci in familial combined hyperlipidemia: evidence for multiple loci from a genome scan.
OBJECTIVE Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) size is associated with vascular disease and with familial combined hyperlipidemia (FCHL). METHODS AND RESULTS We used logarithm of odds (lod) score and Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) linkage analysis methods to perform a 10-cM genome scan of LDL size, measured as peak particle diameter (PPD) and adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, and tri...
متن کاملGenome-wide linkage scan for loci of musical aptitude in Finnish families: evidence for a major locus at 4q22
BACKGROUND Music perception and performance are comprehensive human cognitive functions and thus provide an excellent model system for studying human behaviour and brain function. However, the molecules involved in mediating music perception and performance are so far uncharacterised. OBJECTIVE To unravel the biological background of music perception, using molecular and statistical genetic a...
متن کاملNonword repetition priming 1 Running head: NONWORD REPETITION Nonword Repetition in Lexical Decision: Support for Two Opposing Processes
We tested and confirmed the hypothesis that the prior presentation of nonwords in lexical decision is the net result of two opposing processes:(1) a relatively fast inhibitory process based on global familiarity, and (2) a relatively slow facilitatory process based on the retrieval of specific episodic information. In three studies, we manipulated speed-stress to influence the balance between t...
متن کاملNonword Repetition Problems in Children With SLI
Children with specific language impairment (SLI) consistently show poor nonword repetition (NWR) performance. However, the reason for these difficulties remains a matter of intensive debate. Nonword repetition is a complex psycholinguistic task that heavily relies upon phonological segmentation and phonological knowledge, and even lexical knowledge. This study aims at investigating various ling...
