Oligogenic inheritance in photosensitive juvenile myoclonic epilepsy?
The interplay of multiple genetic factors, as opposed to monogenic inheritance, is suspected to play a role in many idiopathic generalized epilepsies. This leads to a digenic or oligogenic inheritance model, which although rather simplified, may explain at least some of the clinical observations. Here we describe a family in which the clinical phenotype in the offspring can be explained by a co...
متن کاملA mixed epigenetic/genetic model for oligogenic inheritance of autism with a limited role for UBE3A.
The genetic contribution to autism is often attributed to the combined effects of many loci (ten or more). This conclusion is based in part on the much lower concordance for dizygotic (DZ) than for monozygotic (MZ) twins, and is consistent with the failure to find strong evidence for linkage in genome-wide studies. We propose that the twin data are compatible with oligogenic inheritance combine...
متن کاملEvidence for oligogenic inheritance of type 1 diabetes in a large Bedouin Arab family.
Based on a genomic search for linkage, a locus contributing to type 1 diabetes in a large Bedouin Arab family (19 affected relatives) maps to the long arm of chromosome 10 (10q25; nonparametric linkage = 4.99; P = 0.00004). All affected relatives carry one or two high-risk HLA-DR3 haplotypes that are rarely found in other family members. One chromosome 10 haplotype, the B haplotype, was transmi...
متن کاملIdentification of chromosome inheritance modifiers in Drosophila melanogaster.
Faithful chromosome inheritance is a fundamental biological activity and errors contribute to birth defects and cancer progression. We have performed a P-element screen in Drosophila melanogaster with the aim of identifying novel candidate genes involved in inheritance. We used a "sensitized" minichromosome substrate (J21A) to screen approximately 3,000 new P-element lines for dominant effects ...
متن کاملGenetic Modifiers for Neuromuscular Diseases.
Neuromuscular diseases, which encompass disorders that affect muscle and its innervation, are highly heritable. Genetic diagnosis now frequently pinpoints the primary mutation responsible for a given neuromuscular disease. However, the results from genetic testing indicate that neuromuscular disease phenotypes may vary widely, even in individuals with the same primary disease-causing mutation. ...
