A Gene-Environment Interaction
Background—Particulate air pollution has been associated with cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Transition metals such as iron bound to the particles may be responsible for those associations. The protein product of the hemochromatosis (HFE) gene modulates uptake of iron and divalent cations from pulmonary sources and reduces their toxicity. Two HFE polymorphisms (C282Y and H63D) associat...
متن کاملFrom Genotype × Environment Interaction to Gene × Environment Interaction
Historically in plant breeding a large number of statistical models has been developed and used for studying genotype × environment interaction. These models have helped plant breeders to assess the stability of economically important traits and to predict the performance of newly developed genotypes evaluated under varying environmental conditions. In the last decade, the use of relatively low...
متن کاملGene–Environment Interaction in Yeast Gene Expression
The effects of genetic variants on phenotypic traits often depend on environmental and physiological conditions, but such gene-environment interactions are poorly understood. Recently developed approaches that treat transcript abundances of thousands of genes as quantitative traits offer the opportunity to broadly characterize the architecture of gene-environment interactions. We examined the g...
متن کاملEffects of the family environment: gene-environment interaction and passive gene-environment correlation.
The classical twin study provides a useful resource for testing hypotheses about how the family environment influences children's development, including how genes can influence sensitivity to environmental effects. However, existing statistical models do not account for the possibility that children can inherit exposure to family environments (i.e., passive gene-environment correlation). The au...
متن کاملUnravelling gene -‐ environment interaction and fertility
There has been a massive delay in the age at first birth across Europe since 1970, which is now between 28-29 years (Mills et al. 2011). A primary reason for fertility postponement is the clash between the optimal biological period for women to have children with obtaining a higher education and building a career (Rindfuss et al. 1996; Brewster & Rindfuss 2000; Mills et al. 2011). The ability t...
