Broad and narrow heritabilities of quantitative traits in a founder population.
Estimation of the components of variance for a quantitative trait allows one to evaluate both the degree to which genetics influences the trait and the trait's underlying genetic architecture. For particular traits, the estimates also may have implications for discriminating between potential models of selection and for choosing an appropriate model for linkage analysis. Using a recently develo...
متن کاملThe genetic dissection of complex traits in a founder population.
We estimated broad heritabilities (H(2)) and narrow heritabilities (h(2)) and conducted genomewide screens, using a novel association-based mapping approach for 20 quantitative trait loci (QTLs) among the Hutterites, a founder population that practices a communal lifestyle. Heritability estimates ranged from.21 for diastolic blood pressure (DBP) to.99 for whole-blood serotonin levels. Using a m...
متن کاملBroad and narrow personality traits as markers of one-time and repeated suicide attempts: A population-based study
BACKGROUND Studying personality traits with the potential to differentiate between individuals engaging in suicide attempts of different degrees of severity could help us to understand the processes underlying the link of personality and nonfatal suicidal behaviours and to identify at-risk groups. One approach may be to examine whether narrow, i.e., lower-order personality traits may be more us...
متن کاملMarginal Analysis of A Population-Based Genetic Association Study of Quantitative Traits with Incomplete Longitudinal Data
A common study to investigate gene-environment interaction is designed to be longitudinal and population-based. Data arising from longitudinal association studies often contain missing responses. Naive analysis without taking missingness into account may produce invalid inference, especially when the missing data mechanism depends on the response process. To address this issue in the ana...
متن کاملa contrastive analysis of concord and head parameter in english and azerbaijani
این پایان نامه به بررسی و مقایسه دو موضوع مطابقه میان فعل و فاعل (از نظر شخص و مشار) و هسته عبارت در دو زبان انگلیسی و آذربایجانی می پردازد. اول رابطه دستوری مطابقه مورد بررسی قرار می گیرد. مطابقه به این معناست که فعل مفرد به همراه فاعل مفرد و فعل جمع به همراه فاعل جمع می آید. در انگلیسی تمام افعال، بجز فعل بودن (to be) از نظر شمار با فاعلشان فقط در سوم شخص مفرد و در زمان حال مطابقت نشان میدهند...
