Positional identification of hypertension susceptibility genes on chromosome 2.
Chromosome 2 has been consistently identified as a genomic region with genetic linkage evidence suggesting that one or more loci contributes to blood pressure and hypertension status. As with all complex disease traits, following-up linkage evidence to identify the underlying susceptibility gene(s) is an arduous yet biologically and clinically important task. Using combined positional candidate...
متن کاملIdentification of Candidate Genes for Dyslexia Susceptibility on Chromosome 18
BACKGROUND Six independent studies have identified linkage to chromosome 18 for developmental dyslexia or general reading ability. Until now, no candidate genes have been identified to explain this linkage. Here, we set out to identify the gene(s) conferring susceptibility by a two stage strategy of linkage and association analysis. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Linkage analysis: 264 UK fami...
متن کاملIdentification of hypertension susceptibility loci on rat chromosome 12.
Previous studies have identified multiple blood pressure and renal disease quantitative trait loci located on rat chromosome 12. In the present study, we narrowed blood pressure loci using a series of overlapping Dahl salt-sensitive/Mcwi (SS)-12 Brown Norway (BN) congenic lines. We found that transferring 6.1 Mb of SS chromosome 12 (13.4-19.5 Mb) onto the consomic SS-12BN background significant...
متن کاملLinkage of essential hypertension to chromosome 18q.
We performed a genomewide scan with 904 microsatellite markers using 120 extended Icelandic families with 490 hypertensive patients. The families were identified by cross-matching a list of hypertensive patients from the Hypertension Clinic of the University Hospital (Landspitalinn) in Iceland with a genealogy database of the entire Icelandic nation. After adding 5 markers, we found linkage to ...
متن کاملLoss of heterozygosity on chromosome 1q in human breast cancer.
Cytogenetic markers involving the long arm of chromosome 1 are the most frequently observed karyotypic changes seen in breast cancer. Based on cytogenetic data, we have used polymorphic DNA markers to search for allelic losses at this chromosome region among 48 breast carcinomas. For SPTA1, allelic losses were seen in 6 of 26 (23%) informative carcinomas, while 3 of 13 (23%) and 5 of 19 (26%) i...
