INTRODUCTION The purpose of this research is genealogy examination of three generation of bipolar mood disorder Type I patients. METHODS Patients selected using Poisson sampling method from 100 patients with bipolar mood disorder Type I, referring to a psychiatric center of Amir Kabir Hospital of Arak, Iran. Examine issues such as physical ailments, psychological review of living and deceased...

Objective(s)Marfan syndrome (MFS) is a severe connective tissue disorder withan autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Early diagnosis is critical in MFS. Because of the large size of fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1), the uniqueness of mutations, and the absence of genotype-to-phenotype correlations linkage analysis can be very helpful for early diagnosis of MFS. In this study, eight polymorphic marker...

Fabry disease (FD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disease caused by α-galactosidase A deficiency; in contrast to other X-linked diseases, heterozygous females can be as affected as men. The construction and analysis of a family pedigree is a powerful tool to aid clinicians in diagnosis, establishment of inheritance pattern, and early detection of potentially affected relatives. The present st...

-hition of the vertebrate buupkzn is a zoological problem of classic pedigree; it is an issue in which extreme, and often contradictory, views have been maintained even up to the present day. One of the most striking f~ti.lres of the body plan is its metamerism the repeating ‘segmental’ nature of much of the anatomy, including components of the skeleton, musculature, vascukature and nervous sys...

Single-step genomic predictions need the inverse of the part of the additive relationship matrix between genotyped animals (A22 ). Gains in computing time are feasible with an algorithm that sets up the sparsity pattern of A22-1 (SP algorithm) using pedigree searches, when A22-1 is close to sparse. The objective of this study is to present a modification of the SP algorithm (RSP algorithm) and ...

in general, both common illnesses and rare diseases can develop in people and their relatives in families. therefore, taking family history is an effective screening tool to detect such diseases and patients should be aware of its importance in families’ health with updating information in regular visiting. for more information on identifying the genetic pattern of diseases, in this article, we...

This study aimed to introduce R package pedSimulate, which was built simulate pedigree, genetic merit, phenotype, and genotype data. These are amongst the most important data types that animal breeders quantitative geneticists deal with. Twenty pedigrees with ten generations were simulated applying different combinations of three parameters: variance (10 vs. 20), proportion males selected 20%),...

We applied our method of pairwise shared genomic segment (pSGS) analysis to high-risk pedigrees identified from the Genetic Analysis Workshop 17 (GAW17) mini-exome sequencing data set. The original shared genomic segment method focused on identifying regions shared by all case subjects in a pedigree; thus it can be sensitive to sporadic cases. Our new method examines sharing among all pairs of ...
