Distilling Pathophysiology from Complex Disease Genetics
Technologies for genome-wide sequence interrogation have dramatically improved our ability to identify loci associated with complex human disease. However, a chasm remains between correlations and causality that stems, in part, from a limiting theoretical framework derived from Mendelian genetics and an incomplete understanding of disease physiology. Here we propose a set of criteria, akin to K...
متن کاملEpidemiologic considerations in complex disease genetics.
Association studies are becoming an increasingly popular study design not only for testing of candidate genes, but also for genome-wide localization of loci influencing complex disease. This article covers some of the practical concerns in conducting large-scale association studies using epidemiologic samples.
متن کاملProgress in Medical Genetics
THIS second volume of PROGRESS IN MEDICAL GENETICS New Series, well illustrates the diversity of subjects which falls within the purview of the medical geneticist. In keeping with previous volumes, there is a mixture of articles of clinical significance, mechanisms of disease and human variation. There are six reviews by a number of authorities. One of the most interesting topics is the review ...
متن کاملProgress in the pathogenesis and genetics of Parkinson's disease.
Recent progresses in the pathogenesis of sporadic Parkinson's disease (PD) and genetics of familial PD are reviewed. There are common molecular events between sporadic and familial PD, particularly between sporadic PD and PARK1-linked PD due to alpha-synuclein (SNCA) mutations. In sporadic form, interaction of genetic predisposition and environmental factors is probably a primary event inducing...
متن کاملProgress in the genetics of cerebrovascular disease: inherited subcortical arteriopathies.
W e have much to discover regarding the etiol-ogy of cerebral infarction, as the commonly recognized risk factors, such as hyperten-sion, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation, account for only a small proportion of stroke. Genetic factors are clearly important. Substantial genetic components underlie hypertension and diabetes. However, as contributors to the known risk factors for stroke, they are...
