The distribution of volatile constituents in ancestral genotypes of 'Marion' blackberry's pedigree was investigated over two growing seasons. Each genotype in the pedigree had a specific volatile composition. Red raspberry was dominated by norisoprenoids, lactones, and acids. 'Logan' and 'Olallie' also had a norisoprenoid dominance but at much lower concentrations. The concentration of norisopr...

Steatocystoma multiplex (SM) is an uncommon disorder, characterized by numerous skin‑colored subcutaneous cysts. A number of SM pedigrees have been identified with mutations in the keratin 17 (KRT17) gene. The present study examined a four‑generation Chinese pedigree with an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance and examined its genetic basis. A review of the literature on KRT17 gene mutations...

in order to study on the effect of incomplete sire's pedigree on the prediction of breeding value and estimation of genetic trend, two quantitative traits such as weaning weight and average daily gain with heritabilities 0.15 and 0.30 were simulated. phenotypic, genetic and environmental correlations were assumed 0.5. resulted data files with different proportion of missed sire pedigree (0...

Methodology: Seven hypercholesterolemic families were chosen for this study. Case history was taken and pedigree was created in person by visiting every family. Exon3 and exon4 regions of ApoE cistron were amplified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR).After successful amplification, both citrons were sequenced. Single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) results were obtained to support th...

The Pedigree Visualizer is a system for visualization of pedigree diagrams. It accepts a simple text-based specification of a pedigree diagram. The pedigree diagram is then layout automatically. Both GIF- and PS-formatted output files are produced. In addition, the Pedigree Visualizer also provides a rich set of functions for the manipulation and management of large pedigree files.

common variable immunodeficiency (cvid) and selective iga deficiency (sigad) are the most common primary antibody deficiencies. these two diseases may have coincidence in one family and sigad can progress to cvid which suggest common underlying genetic defects between sigad and cvid. this study was designed to find the prevalence of multiple cases in families of iranian patients with cvid or si...

OBJECTIVE This article describes the diagnosis, clinical and microscopic (histopathology and ultrastructural) features and treatment of a new family with hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) and highlights the importance of this genetic condition. STUDY DESIGN To characterize the pattern of inheritance and the clinical features, members of a new family with HGF were examined. The pedigree w...

background: oculocutaneous albinism type1 (oca1) is characterized by the absence of melanin pigmentation. the muta­tion on tyr gene makes oca1 as an autosomal recessive genetic disorder. in this study, we delineated the genetic analysis of an iranian family with four members affected with oca1.  methods: clinical exams and paraclinical test were performed for all patients of the case family, al...
