Haplotypes and linkage disequilibrium at the phenylalanine hydroxylase locus, PAH, in a global representation of populations.
Because defects in the phenylalanine hydroxylase gene (PAH) cause phenylketonuria (PKU), PAH was studied for normal polymorphisms and linkage disequilibrium soon after the gene was cloned. Studies in the 1980s concentrated on European populations in which PKU was common and showed that haplotype-frequency variation exists between some regions of the world. In European populations, linkage diseq...
متن کاملHuman Genome Variation: Haplotypes, Linkage Disequilibrium, and Populations - Session Introduction
The working draft of a reference sequence of the human genome is nearing completion and is providing a basis for studies in a variety of domains. Computational challenges exist in all of these domains because of the massive amounts of data, the multiple often complex relationships among the types of relevant data, and the need to make the data accessible to researchers approaching the data from...
متن کاملEstimating linkage disequilibrium between a polymorphic marker locus and a trait locus in natural populations.
Positional cloning of gene(s) underlying a complex trait requires a high-resolution linkage map between the trait locus and genetic marker loci. Recent research has shown that this may be achieved through appropriately modeling and screening linkage disequilibrium between the candidate marker locus and the major trait locus. A quantitative genetics model was developed in the present study to es...
متن کاملInferring linkage disequilibrium between a polymorphic marker locus and a trait locus in natural populations.
Three approaches are proposed in this study for detecting or estimating linkage disequilibrium between a polymorphic marker locus and a locus affecting quantitative genetic variation using the sample from random mating populations. It is shown that the disequilibrium over a wide range of circumstances may be detected with a power of 80% by using phenotypic records and marker genotypes of a few ...
متن کاملheterogeneity within the orientalist discourse: representation of the orient in womens travelogues and mens paintings
from 1950s onward, new theories and critical approaches burgeoned across humanities. these theories were context-oriented; as a result, the analysis of discursive practices gained significance. thus, social, political, historical and cultural discourses that have been hitherto marginalized and considered inferior to literary texts, were introduced as important texts to be analyzed by critics. o...
