Results of a Genome-Wide Scan for Stroke Loci
Ischemic stroke has long been recognized to cluster in families. This clustering has been attributed to both genetic factors and common environmental exposures. Gene mutations have been identified that lead to rare ischemic stroke syndromes like CADASIL and MELAS. However, the search for genetic loci associated with ischemic stroke risk has yielded meager results thus far, despite several candi...
متن کاملGenome-wide linkage scan for loci influencing plasma triglycerides.
BACKGROUND Plasma triglyceride concentration is known to be a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Previous studies have found that the level of triglycerides is strongly influenced by genetic factors. METHODS To identify quantitative trait loci influencing triglycerides, we conducted a genome-wide linkage scan on data from 485 Australian adult dizygotic twin pairs. Prior...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan for modifier loci in schizophrenia.
The purpose of this study was to detect genetic loci that influence clinical features of, but not necessarily susceptibility to, psychotic illness. In the Irish Study of High-Density Schizophrenia Families (n = 270 families, n = 1,408 individuals), subjects with non-affective psychosis were rated using the Operational Criteria Checklist for Psychotic Illness. Factor analysis identified hallucin...
متن کاملGenome-wide scan of exfoliation syndrome.
PURPOSE Exfoliation syndrome (XFS) is an age-related ocular condition that is characterized by the accumulation of fibrillogranular extracellular material in intra- and extraocular tissues. The purpose of the present study was to identify the genetic basis of XFS in a large Finnish family. METHODS A genome-wide scan with 1000 microsatellite markers was performed in an extended family from an ...
متن کاملA Pooled Genome-Wide Association Study of Asperger Syndrome
Asperger Syndrome (AS) is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by impairments in social interaction and communication, alongside the presence of unusually repetitive, restricted interests and stereotyped behaviour. Individuals with AS have no delay in cognitive and language development. It is a subset of Autism Spectrum Conditions (ASC), which are highly heritable and has a population p...
