Genomewide scans of red cell indices suggest linkage on chromosome 6q23.
BACKGROUND The red cell indices quantify the size, number and oxygen-carrying ability of erythrocytes. Although the genetic basis of many monogenic forms of anaemia is well understood, comparatively little is known about the genes responsible for variation in the red cell indices among healthy participants. OBJECTIVE To identify quantitative trait loci (QTLs) responsible for normal variation ...
متن کاملGenomewide significant linkage to migrainous headache on chromosome 5q21.
Familial typical migraine is a common, complex disorder that shows strong familial aggregation. Using latent-class analysis (LCA), we identified subgroups of people with migraine/severe headache in a community sample of 12,245 Australian twins (60% female), drawn from two cohorts of individuals aged 23-90 years who completed an interview based on International Headache Society criteria. We repo...
متن کاملGenomewide scans in North American families reveal genetic linkage of essential tremor to a region on chromosome 6p23.
Essential tremor (ET) is the most prevalent adult-onset movement disorder showing evidence of non-random accumulation in some families. ET has previously been mapped to genetic loci on chromosomes 2p and 3q, but no causative genes identified. We conducted genomewide linkage screening with subsequent fine mapping in seven large North American families comprising a total of 325 genotyped individu...
متن کاملGenomewide suggestive linkage of opioid dependence to chromosome 14q.
The genetic predisposition to addiction to opioids and other substances is transmitted as a complex genetic trait, which investigators are attempting to characterize using genetic linkage and association. We now report a high-density genome-wide linkage study of opioid dependence. We ascertained 305 DSM-IV opioid dependent affected sibling pairs from an ethnically mixed population of methadone ...
متن کاملEvidence for a gene influencing haematocrit on chromosome 6q23-24: genomewide scan in the Framingham Heart Study.
F or more than 40 years, a number of studies have revealed that high haematocrit (HCT) levels are associated with increased risk for cerebrovascular disease, cardiovascular disease (CVD), peripheral vascular disease, and all cause mortality. 10–11 During 34 years of follow up in more than 5200 individuals, a Framingham investigation demonstrated that increased HCT was significantly associated w...
