background: familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (hcm) is caused by mutations in genes encoding cardiac sarcomere proteins. nowadays genetic testing of hcm plays an important role in clinical practice by contributing to the diagnosis, prognosis, and screening of high-risk individuals. the aim of this study was developing a reliable testing strategy for hcm based on linkage analysis and appropri...

Objective(s): Genetic analysis of two consanguineous Pakistani families with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis was performed with the goal to establish genotype-phenotype correlation. Materials and Methods: Genomic DNA extraction had been done from peripheral blood samples. Extracted DNA was then subjected to PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for amplification. Linkage analysis was perf...

this paper explores the importance of oil sector in providing input for economic sectors and also its changes during the last decades in iran. to that end, the partial and total forward linkage between oil sector and other domestic production sectors as well as their changes are examined using the input-output tables of the years 1986 and 2001. and also based on the information on hand, perform...

one of the most important goals for researchers in the clinic is to try to find newer and more effective ways to diagnose and cure the diseases. these clinical advances can create new points of view in other sciences and their combination with basic sciences such as statistics can improve these researches. in statistical genetics, linkage analysis is a way of finding the exact locus of a diseas...

background:   objective: in this study we performed linkage analysis on a large x linked rsa pedigree to find a novel susceptibility locus for rsa.   materials and methods: a linkage scan using 11 microsatellites was performed in 27 members of a large pedigree of hereditary x-linked rsa. two point parametric linkage was performed using superlink v 1.6 program. results: evidence of linkage was o...
