Genome-wide linkage analysis of multiple metabolic factors: evidence of genetic heterogeneity.
The metabolic syndrome is a highly complex disease and has become one of the major public-health challenges worldwide. We sought to identify genetic loci with potential influence on multiple metabolic factors in a white population in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin, and to explore the possibility of genetic heterogeneity by family history of diabetes (FHD). Three metabolic factors were generated using pr...
متن کاملPhenotypic and genetic heterogeneity in a genome-wide linkage study of asthma families
BACKGROUND Asthma is a complex genetic disease with more than 20 genome-wide scans conducted so far. Regions on almost every chromosome have been linked to asthma and several genes have been associated. However, most of these associations are weak and are still awaiting replication. METHODS In this study, we conducted a second-stage genome-wide scan with 408 microsatellite markers on 201 asth...
متن کاملA genome-wide linkage scan of familial benign recurrent vertigo: linkage to 22q12 with evidence of heterogeneity.
Benign recurrent vertigo (BRV) is a common disorder affecting up to 2% of the adult population and may be etiologically related to migraine because of similarities in the clinical spectrum of the phenotypes and a high co-morbidity within families. Many families have multiple-affected genetically related individuals suggesting familial transmission of the disorder with moderate to high penetranc...
متن کاملHereditary lymphedema: evidence for linkage and genetic heterogeneity.
Hereditary or primary lymphedema is a developmental disorder of the lymphatic system which leads to a disabling and disfiguring swelling of the extremities. Hereditary lymphedema generally shows an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance with reduced penetrance, variable expression and variable age at onset. Three multigeneration families demonstrating the phenotype of hereditary lymphedema s...
متن کاملGenome-wide linkage analysis of lipids in the Hypertension Genetic Epidemiology Network (HyperGEN) Blood Pressure Study.
Full genome scans were performed for quantitative lipid measurements in 622 African American and 649 white sibling pairs not taking lipid-lowering medications who were ascertained through the Hypertension Genetic Epidemiology Network (HyperGEN) of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) Family Blood Pressure Program. Genotypes for 391 markers spaced roughly equally throughout the ...
