Heritable and environmental components in cervical tumors

A Cytogenetic Study of Heritable Tumors in Nicotiana Species Hybrids.

ENETIC tumors in Nicotiana species hybrids have been reported by several Ginvestigators. These tumors are formed in certain specific hybrid combinations on stems, roots, and occasionally on leaves of all or part of the F, progeny. Since the discovery by KOSTOFF (1930) of nine interspecific tumorous hybrids, almost 20 additional hybrid combinations have been reported in which the entire progeny ...

ATHENA: the analysis tool for heritable and environmental network associations

MOTIVATION Advancements in high-throughput technology have allowed researchers to examine the genetic etiology of complex human traits in a robust fashion. Although genome-wide association studies have identified many novel variants associated with hundreds of traits, a large proportion of the estimated trait heritability remains unexplained. One hypothesis is that the commonly used statistical...

An Effective Method to Identify Heritable Components from Multivariate Phenotypes.

Multivariate phenotypes may be characterized collectively by a variety of low level traits, such as in the diagnosis of a disease that relies on multiple disease indicators. Such multivariate phenotypes are often used in genetic association studies. If highly heritable components of a multivariate phenotype can be identified, it can maximize the likelihood of finding genetic associations. Exist...

Environmental liver tumors.

The recent realization that the majority of human carcinomas are induced by chemical agents has raised concern all over the world as to the possible induction of these tumors by environmental factors, in part derived from industrial sources. Both industrial production of chemicals as well as their pollution of the environment have markedly increased and present a hazard not only for workers in ...
