Characterization of epistasis influencing complex spontaneous obesity in the BSB model.
There is growing awareness that complex interactions among multiple genes and environmental factors play an important role in controlling obesity traits. The BSB mouse, which is produced by the backcross of (lean C57BL/6J x lean Mus spretus) x C57BL/6J, provides an excellent model of epistatic obesity. To evaluate potential epistatic interactions among six chromosomal regions previously determi...
متن کاملDynamic Epistasis under Varying Environmental Perturbations
Epistasis describes the phenomenon that mutations at different loci do not have independent effects with regard to certain phenotypes. Understanding the global epistatic landscape is vital for many genetic and evolutionary theories. Current knowledge for epistatic dynamics under multiple conditions is limited by the technological difficulties in experimentally screening epistatic relations amon...
متن کاملDynamic epistasis for different alleles of the same gene.
Epistasis refers to the phenomenon in which phenotypic consequences caused by mutation of one gene depend on one or more mutations at another gene. Epistasis is critical for understanding many genetic and evolutionary processes, including pathway organization, evolution of sexual reproduction, mutational load, ploidy, genomic complexity, speciation, and the origin of life. Nevertheless, current...
متن کاملContributions of Renin-Angiotensin System-Related Gene Interactions to Obesity in a Chinese Population
BACKGROUND Gene-gene interactions may be partly responsible for complex traits such as obesity. Increasing evidence suggests that the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) contributes to the etiology of obesity. How the epistasis of genes in the RAS contributes to obesity is still under research. We aim to evaluate the contribution of RAS-related gene interactions to a predisposition of obesity in a C...
متن کاملThe human obesity gene map: the 2001 update.
This report constitutes the eighth update of the human obesity gene map, incorporating published results up to the end of October 2001. Evidence from the rodent and human obesity cases caused by single-gene mutations, Mendelian disorders exhibiting obesity as a clinical feature, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) uncovered in human genome-wide scans and in crossbreeding experiments in various anima...
