Mandibular prognathism is assumed to be a polygenic trait in the vast majority of cases. In a few families, this phenotype and perhaps a syndrome with a broader spectrum of facial anomalies seems to be determined by a single dominant gene of very low frequency (McKusick No *176700). The phenotype is known to have occurred independently in several European noble families. We constructed a pedigr...

Currently, mapping genes for complex human traits relies on two complementary approaches, linkage and association analyses. Both suffer from several methodological and theoretical limitations, which can considerably increase the type-1 error rate and reduce the power to map human quantitative trait loci (QTL). This review focuses on linkage methods for QTL mapping. It summarizes the most common...

The COMT and DBH genes are physically located at chromosomes 22q11 and 9q34, respectively, and both COMT and DBH are involved in catecholamine metabolism and are strong candidates for certain psychiatric and neurological disorders. Although the genetic determinants for both enzymes' activities have been widely studied, their genetic involvement on gene mRNA expression levels remains unclear. In...

The global HIV and tuberculosis (TB) epidemics have placed enormous burdens upon already overstretched healthcare workers and poorly resourced healthcare facilities in sub-Saharan Africa. The rapid emergence of multi-drug resistant TB, and its association with hospital-based outbreaks, have highlighted the role that healthcare facilities inadvertently may play in maintaining TB transmission, an...

Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex disease caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors, and their additive and/or non-additive effects. We performed a linkage analysis to provide evidence of rheumatoid factor IgM on linkage, based on Bayesian variable selection coupled with the new Haseman-Elston method. For statistical inferences to estimate unknown parameters, we ut...

We report the discovery of a high-z quasar with unambiguous [OIII]λ5007 emission; PKS 1937−101 at redshift 3.8. This quasar, however, shows little evidence for rest-frame ultraviolet and optical FeII emission. It is thus shown that PKS 1937−101 does not belong to a class of super iron-rich high-z quasars reported by Elston, Thompson, & Hill (1994). The epoch of major star formation in the host ...

We describe four improvements we have implemented in a version of the genetic linkage analysis programs in the LINKAGE package: subdivision of recombination classes, better handling of loops, better coordination between the optimization and output routines, and a checkpointing facility. The unifying theme for all the improvements is to store a small amount of data to avoid expensive recomputati...

We consider the class of finitely generated groups which have a normal form computable in logspace. We prove that the class of such groups is closed under passing to finite index subgroups, direct products, wreath products, and certain free products and infinite extensions, and includes the solvable Baumslag-Solitar groups, as well as non-residually finite (and hence nonlinear) examples. We def...
