Quantitative-trait locus for specific language and reading deficits on chromosome 6p.
Reading disability (RD), or dyslexia, is a complex cognitive disorder manifested by difficulties in learning to read, in otherwise normal individuals. Individuals with RD manifest deficits in several reading and language skills. Previous research has suggested the existence of a quantitative-trait locus (QTL) for RD on the short arm of chromosome 6. In the present study, RD subjects' performanc...
متن کاملIdentification of a major susceptibility locus on chromosome 6p and evidence for further disease loci revealed by a two stage genome-wide search in psoriasis.
Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin. To further understand the pathogenesis of psoriasis we have chosen to investigate the molecular genetic basis of the disorder. We have used a two-stage approach to search the human genome for the location of genes conferring susceptibility to psoriasis, using a total of 106 affected sibling pairs identified from 68 independent fam...
متن کاملQuantitative trait locus for reading disability on chromosome 6p is pleiotropic for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder.
Comorbidity is pervasive among both adult and child psychiatric disorders; however, the etiological mechanisms underlying the majority of comorbidities are unknown. This study used genetic linkage analysis to assess the etiology of comorbidity between reading disability (RD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), two common childhood disorders that frequently co-occur. Sibling pai...
متن کاملPaternal Cytoplasmic Inheritance
We continue our study of the effects of pollen and seed migration on the cytonuclear structure of mixed-mating plant populations by analyzing two deterministic continent-island models under the critical assumption of paternal cytoplasmic inheritance. The major results of this study that contrast with our previous conclusions based on maternal cytoplasmic inheritance are (i) pollen gene flow can...
متن کاملChromosome 6p amplification and cancer progression.
Chromosomal imbalances represent an important mechanism in cancer progression. A clear association between DNA copy-number aberrations and prognosis has been found in a variety of tumours. Comparative genomic hybridisation studies have detected copy-number increases affecting chromosome 6p in several types of cancer. A systematic analysis of large tumour cohorts is required to identify genomic ...
