Preventing common hereditary disorders through time-separated twinning
Background: Biomedical advances have led to a relaxation of natural selection in the human population in developed countries. In the absence of strong purifying selection, spontaneous and frequently deleterious mutations tend to accumulate in the human genome and gradually increase the genetic load; that is, the frequency of potentially lethal genes in the gene pool. It is not possible to asses...
متن کاملWhen is the ring of real measurable functions a hereditary ring?
Let $M(X, mathcal{A}, mu)$ be the ring of real-valued measurable functions on a measure space $(X, mathcal{A}, mu)$. In this paper, we characterize the maximal ideals in the rings of real measurable functions and as a consequence, we determine when $M(X, mathcal{A}, mu)$ is a hereditary ring.
متن کاملWhy is lifetime fertility higher in twinning women?
In a recent paper published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Robson & Smith (RS) presented an analysis of a database comprising the life histories of more than 50 000 women born in the nineteenth century UT, USA. They addressed the question of whether a woman's likelihood of producing twins is related to overall phenotypic 'quality' [1]. Controlling for a number of confounding factors, th...
متن کاملMonozygotic twinning: is it related to apoptosis in the embryo?
The advent of prolonged in-vitro preimplantation embryo culture using sequential culture media (Gardner et al., 1998) has permitted many IVF laboratories to successfully adopt blastocyst transfer. Unfortunately, an unexpected side effect of this success has seen a small but significant appearance of monozygotic twinning. This has now been described by several authors (Peramo et al. Curiously en...
متن کاملDizygotic twinning.
The tendency to conceive spontaneous dizygotic (DZ) twins is a complex trait with important contributions from both environmental factors and genetic disposition. Twins are relatively common and occur on average 13 times per 1000 maternities, though the twinning frequency varies over time and geographic location. This variation is mostly attributed to the differences in DZ twinning rate, since ...
