Simultaneous inference of haplotypes and alleles at a causal gene
We present a methodology which jointly infers haplotypes and the causal alleles at a gene influencing a given trait. Often in human genetic studies, the available data consists of genotypes (series of genetic markers along the chromosomes) and a phenotype. However, for many genetic analyses, one needs haplotypes instead of genotypes. Our methodology is not only able to estimate haplotypes condi...
متن کاملSensory Integration and Autistic Spectrum Disorder
The theory and practice of sensory integration were developed in the late 1960s by an occupational therapist and psychologist, Dr. A. Jean Ayres [1]. Also, known as sensory processing, it is “the neurological process that organizes sensation from one’s own body and from the environment and makes it possible to use the body effectively within the environment” [1].
متن کاملInfluenza A Virus as a Predisposing Factor for Cryptococcosis
Influenza A virus (IAV) infects millions of people annually and predisposes to secondary bacterial infections. Inhalation of fungi within the Cryptococcus complex causes pulmonary disease with secondary meningo-encephalitis. Underlying pulmonary disease is a strong risk factor for development of C. gattii cryptococcosis though the effect of concurrent infection with IAV has not been studied. We...
متن کاملPersonality as a predisposing factor for DCI: a pilot study.
This study aimed to identify differences in personality characteristics related to decompression illness (DCI) in recreational scuba divers. A matched control group of nine divers (without DCI) and a research group of nine divers (with DCI) were recruited. Following a chamber dive (control group), or treatment for DCI (study group), three psychometric scales - Locus of Control, Eysenck's Person...
متن کاملNo association between the EN2 gene and autistic disorder.
Autistic spectrum disorders (MIM 209850), which include autism, Asperger syndrome, and pervasive developmental disorder (PDD) not otherwise specified, are characterised by impairment in communications and social interactions and the presence of stereotyped behaviours. The aetiology of autistic disorder is unknown, but family and twin studies have shown a high monozygotic to dizygotic twin risk ...
