ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters and trends different conformation management traits regularly measured within the context National Dairy Gir Breeding Program (PNMGL). estimation residual variances for each trait performed using average information restricted maximum likelihood (AI-REML) procedure in AIREMLF90 program software. population divided into thre...

Some environmental effects, population genetic parameters, breeding value of Limousin bulls, also phenotypic and trends in the age at first calving (AFC) cows between 1992 2013 were estimated. Data served by Blonde d’Aquitaine Breeders Association, Hungary. The study was extended to three herds 1157 cows. GLM method used for different BLUP animal model estimation parameters values (BV), one-way...

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an inherited common autosomal Mendelian disorder of lipoprotein metabolism with a population prevalence of 1 in 500. FH is characterized by severely elevated levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which result in surplus deposition of cholesterol in tissues. This condition leads to premature at hero sclerosis and early-onset of coronary hear...

BACKGROUND We explored racial/ethnic differences in perceived cancer risk and determinants of these differences in a nationally representative sample of whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. METHODS Multiple regression techniques, including mediational analyses, were used to identify determinants and quantify racial/ethnic differences in the perception of the risk of developing cancer among ...

This study aimed to introduce R package pedSimulate, which was built simulate pedigree, genetic merit, phenotype, and genotype data. These are amongst the most important data types that animal breeders quantitative geneticists deal with. Twenty pedigrees with ten generations were simulated applying different combinations of three parameters: variance (10 vs. 20), proportion males selected 20%),...

Mental retardation (MR) is one of the most frequently found major genetic disorders around the world, affecting 1-3% of the people in the general population. The recent advancement in molecular biology and cytogenetic study has made possible the identification of new genes for a variety of genetic disorders including autosomal recessive MR. Recessive genetic disorders are common in Pakistan due...
