Widespread Allelic Heterogeneity in Complex Traits.
Recent successes in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) make it possible to address important questions about the genetic architecture of complex traits, such as allele frequency and effect size. One lesser-known aspect of complex traits is the extent of allelic heterogeneity (AH) arising from multiple causal variants at a locus. We developed a computational method to infer the probability ...

متن کاملAllelic Heterogeneity and Trade-Off Shape Natural Variation for Response to Soil Micronutrient
As sessile organisms, plants have to cope with diverse environmental constraints that may vary through time and space, eventually leading to changes in the phenotype of populations through fixation of adaptive genetic variation. To fully comprehend the mechanisms of evolution and make sense of the extensive genotypic diversity currently revealed by new sequencing technologies, we are challenged...
متن کاملExtensive allelic variation in GAS structural genes
393 Group A Streptococcus (GAS) is a Gram-positive bacterium that is responsible for a wide range of human infections, including pharyngitis and tonsillitis, skin infections (impetigo, erysipelas, and cellulitis), sepsis, osteomyelitis, a toxic-shock syndrome, and necrotizing fasciitis (1). The organism is also responsible for nonsuppurative sequelae such as acute rheumatic fever and acute glom...
متن کاملComplex and multi-allelic copy number variation in human disease
Hundreds of copy number variants are complex and multi-allelic, in that they have many structural alleles and have rearranged multiple times in the ancestors who contributed chromosomes to current humans. Not only are the relationships of these multi-allelic CNVs (mCNVs) to phenotypes generally unknown, but many mCNVs have not yet been described at the basic levels-alleles, allele frequencies, ...
