We hypothesized that bipolar subjects w...
متن کاملInteraction between two quantitative trait loci affects fetal haemoglobin expression.
The biological mechanisms controlling complex quantitative traits are likely to be affected by interactions between genetic factors, sometimes referred to as epistasis. The identification of interacting loci through genetic analyse faces many challenges, and few examples of replicated findings of interaction exist for humans and model system organisms. The replication of an interaction, or the ...
متن کاملAlpha-thalassaemia trait as a cause of unexplained microcytosis in a South African population.
BACKGROUND Red cell microcytosis is a common abnormality detected in a full blood count, which often prompts clinicians to investigate further for a cause.
