متن کاملRelationship between genetic and environmental factors and hypercholesterolemia in children.
INTRODUCTION Pediatric hypercholesterolemia has increased over the past decades. Knowing the environmental and genetic factors that have an impact on it would allow establishing more adequate screening guidelines. OBJETIVES To determine if there is an association between genetic and environmental factors and hypercholesterolemia in children. To assess the predictive qualities of outcome measu...
متن کاملUse of relatives of cases as controls to identify risk factors when an interaction between environmental and genetic factors exists.
BACKGROUND The difficulty in detecting relevant risk factors for chronic diseases (such as breast and colon cancer) may be due to heterogeneity in the populations of studied cases, and one source of heterogeneity may be differential genetic susceptibility predisposing to differential environmental sensitivity. METHODS The purpose of this investigation is to determine whether the estimates of ...
متن کاملGenetic influences on 'environmental' factors.
Childhood environment, social environment and behavior, leisure time activities and life events have been hypothesized to contribute to individual differences in cognitive abilities and physical and emotional well-being. These factors are often labeled 'environmental', suggesting they shape but not reflect individual differences in behavior. The aim of this study is to test the hypothesis that ...
متن کاملInteraction between environmental and genetic factors modulates schizophrenic endophenotypes in the Snap-25 mouse mutant blind-drunk
To understand the pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia requires consideration of multiple genetic and non-genetic factors. However, very little is known about the consequences of combining models of synaptic dysfunction with controlled environmental manipulations. Therefore, to generate new insights into gene-environment interactions and complex behaviour, we exam...
