Host genetic variation contributes to phenotypic diversity in myeloproliferative disorders.
JAK2V617F is an acquired mutation associated with polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). We tested the hypothesis that the paradox of a single disease allele associated with 3 distinctive clinical phenotypes could be explained in part by host-modifying influences. We screened for genetic variation within 4 candidate genes involved in JAK-STAT si...
متن کاملNatural diversity in daily rhythms of gene expression contributes to phenotypic variation.
Daily rhythms of gene expression provide a benefit to most organisms by ensuring that biological processes are activated at the optimal time of day. Although temporal patterns of expression control plant traits of agricultural importance, how natural genetic variation modifies these patterns during the day and how precisely these patterns influence phenotypes is poorly understood. The circadian...
متن کاملWhat Controls Variation in Human Skin Color?
Diversity of human appearance and form has intrigued biologists for centuries, but nearly 100 years after the term “genetics’’ was coined by William Bateson in 1906, the genes that underlie this diversity are an unsolved mystery. One of the most obvious phenotypes that distinguish members of our species, differences in skin pigmentation, is also one of the most enigmatic. There is a tremendous ...
متن کاملVariation of BMP3 Contributes to Dog Breed Skull Diversity
Since the beginnings of domestication, the craniofacial architecture of the domestic dog has morphed and radiated to human whims. By beginning to define the genetic underpinnings of breed skull shapes, we can elucidate mechanisms of morphological diversification while presenting a framework for understanding human cephalic disorders. Using intrabreed association mapping with museum specimen mea...
متن کاملSkin Color Variation in Orang Asli Tribes of Peninsular Malaysia
Pigmentation is a readily scorable and quantitative human phenotype, making it an excellent model for studying multifactorial traits and diseases. Convergent human evolution from the ancestral state, darker skin, towards lighter skin colors involved divergent genetic mechanisms in people of European vs. East Asian ancestry. It is striking that the European mechanisms result in a 10-20-fold incr...
