Host genetic variation contributes to phenotypic diversity in myeloproliferative disorders.
JAK2V617F is an acquired mutation associated with polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). We tested the hypothesis that the paradox of a single disease allele associated with 3 distinctive clinical phenotypes could be explained in part by host-modifying influences. We screened for genetic variation within 4 candidate genes involved in JAK-STAT si...
متن کاملHuman olfaction: from genomic variation to phenotypic diversity.
The sense of smell is a complex molecular device, encompassing several hundred olfactory receptor proteins (ORs). These receptors, encoded by the largest human gene superfamily, integrate odorant signals into an accurate 'odor image' in the brain. Widespread phenotypic diversity in human olfaction is, in part, attributable to prevalent genetic variation in OR genes, owing to copy number variati...
متن کاملPhenotypic diversity as an adaptation to environmental uncertainty
Question: What is the general quantitative relationship between adaptive phenotypic diversity, or bet-hedging, and the environmental uncertainty that selects for it? Mathematical methods: Building on the fitness set approach introduced by Levins, we develop a graphical heuristic for determining the optimal amount of diversity in a fluctuating environment. We use as our optimality criterion the ...
متن کاملSex-specific ecophysiological responses to environmental fluctuations of free-ranging Hermann's tortoises: implication for conservation
Physiological parameters provide indicators to evaluate how organisms respond to conservation actions. For example, individuals translocated during reinforcement programmes may not adapt to their novel host environment and may exhibit elevated chronic levels of stress hormones and/or decreasing body condition. Conversely, successful conservation actions should be associated with a lack of detri...
متن کاملSex-specific phenotypic selection and geographic variation in gender divergence in a gynodioecious shrub.
In sexually polymorphic plant species the extent of gender divergence in floral morphology and phenology may be influenced by gender-specific selection patterns imposed by pollinators, which may change geographically. Distribution margins are areas where changes in the pollinator fauna, and thus variation in gender divergence of floral traits, are expected. We tested for pollination-driven geog...
