Ethical issues in genetic linkage studies of psychiatric disorders.
Recent advances in molecular genetics have radically altered the prospects for determining the role of heredity in the transmission of major psychiatric disorders. Identification of the actual gene(s) involved, elucidation of their structure, and determination of their products are the steps which theoretically follow successful demonstration of linkage (Gurling, 1985; Baron & Rainer, 1988). Co...
متن کاملEthical issues and practical problems in preimplantation genetic diagnosis.
Author argues the preimplantation genetic diagnosis is ethically acceptable for currently intended uses, but a variety of ethical and practical issues will arise with further development of this technology.
متن کاملReport of a workshop on genetic linkage studies in schizophrenia.
A workshop on genetic linkage studies in schizophrenia was held at Columbia University's Arden House Conference Center in October 1989. This report summarizes the contents of invited talks by Drs. Arno Motulsky and T. Conrad Gilliam and the discussions at the five workshop sessions. Topics of the workshop sessions were (1) diagnostic boundaries and hierarchies in schizophrenia, (2) genetic mode...
متن کاملModified Linkage Learning Genetic Algorithm For Difficult Non-stationary Problems
The linkage learning genetic algorithm (LLGA) proposed by Harik (Harik 1997), evolved tight linkage in a bid to solve difficult problems. This paper extends this work to difficult nonstationary problems. The probabilistic expression mechanism of the LLGA is akin to the dominance and polyploidy found in nature. This redundancy of gene expression found in the LLGA was found to benefit the adaptat...
متن کاملScalability of Selectorecombinative Genetic Algorithms for Problems with Tight Linkage
Ensuring building-block (BB) mixing is critical to the success of genetic and evolutionary algorithms. This study develops facetwise models to predict the BB mixing time and the population sizing dictated by BB mixing for single-point crossover. The population-sizing model suggests that for moderate-to-large problems, BB mixing – instead of BB decision making and BB supply – bounds the populati...
