Population genetics of polymorphism and divergence.

Frequencies of mutant sites are modeled as a Poisson random field in two species that share a sufficiently recent common ancestor. The selective effect of the new alleles can be favorable, neutral, or detrimental. The model is applied to the sample configurations of nucleotides in the alcohol dehydrogenase gene (Adh) in Drosophila simulans and Drosophila yakuba. Assuming a synonymous mutation r...

Population genetics of polymorphism and divergence under fluctuating selection.

Current methods for detecting fluctuating selection require time series data on genotype frequencies. Here, we propose an alternative approach that makes use of DNA polymorphism data from a sample of individuals collected at a single point in time. Our method uses classical diffusion approximations to model temporal fluctuations in the selection coefficients to find the expected distribution of...

A review of psychiatric genetics research in the Brazilian population.

OBJECTIVE AND METHOD A large increase in the number of Brazilian studies on psychiatric genetics has been observed in the 1970's since the first publications conducted by a group of researchers in Brazil. Here we reviewed the literature and evaluated the advantages and difficulties of psychiatric genetic studies in the Brazilian population. CONCLUSION The Brazilian population is one of the mo...

Psychiatric genetics, neurogenetics, and neurodegeneration

Neuropsychiatric disorders are common, complex, and severe disorders that affect the core of a person: their emotions, intellect, and ability to self-regulate. Millions of individuals worldwide suffer from these disorders; nevertheless, the factors that lead to the manifestation of symptoms are poorly understood. Neuropsychiatric disorders are characterized by heterogeneity, which means that di...

Dynamic mutations and psychiatric genetics

In the past 3 years, a novel class of pathogenic mutation has seized the attention of geneticists. Socalled 'dynamic mutations', caused by expanding trinucleotide repeats, are responsible for the pathogenesis of a growing list of disorders, including fragile X syndrome and Huntington's disease. In addition to a shared molecular mechanism, trinucleotide repeat diseases also share a number of cli...
