Co-regulation and multilocus determinants of gene expression in humans
BACKGROUND The regulation of gene expression is an emerging area of investigation. Increased knowledge can deepen our understanding of the genetic contributions to variations in complex traits. The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of detecting regulatory elements of gene expression with multivariate analyses. METHODS Peripheral blood lymphocyte expression levels of 30 genes...
متن کاملGenetic Regulation of the Catecholamine Biosynthetic Enzymes
The pattern of inheritance of tyrosine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.3a), dopamine-/3-hydroxylase (1.14.2. l), and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (EC 2.1. l), three enzymes in the catecholamine biosynthetic pathway, has been studied in two sublines of the Balb/c inbred mouse strain, Balb/cJ and Balb/cN. All three enzymes are nearly Z-fold greater in adrenals of the Balb/cJ line. Examination of t...
متن کاملPowerful multilocus tests of genetic association in the presence of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions.
In modern genetic epidemiology studies, the association between the disease and a genomic region, such as a candidate gene, is often investigated using multiple SNPs. We propose a multilocus test of genetic association that can account for genetic effects that might be modified by variants in other genes or by environmental factors. We consider use of the venerable and parsimonious Tukey's 1-de...
متن کاملMechanisms of genetic regulation in gene expression: examples from drug metabolizing enzymes and transporters.
Interindividual variability in the response to drug therapy is due, in part, to genetic mechanisms which influence the expression of genes involved with drug metabolism and transport. Genetic elements and processes such as DNA methylation, histone deacetylation, transcription factors, DNA sequence variants, and microRNAs (miRNAs) can impact at either the transcriptional or translational levels ...
متن کاملEstimation of genetic distance and coefficient of gene diversity from single-probe multilocus DNA fingerprinting data.
DNA fingerprinting exhibits multilocus genotypes of individuals, detected by the use of a single multilocus probe. Consequently, population data on DNA fingerprinting do not provide a complete characterization of the genetic variation in terms of allele-frequency distributions, since neither the number of loci nor the locus affiliation of alleles is directly observable. Yet DNA fingerprinting h...
