Study of genetic relationships is a prerequisite for plant breeding activities as well as for conservation of genetic resources. In the present study, genetic diversity among and within 15 Iranian native Ajowan(Carum copticum L.) populations were determined using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Twelve selected primers produced 153 discernible bands, with 93 (60.78%) being ...

the objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters coupled with genetic and phonotypic trends for age at first calving (afc), open days(od) and milk yield(my) of first lactation in iranian holstein cows. records of reproduction and production for genetic evaluation from 1984 to 2005 for afc, od and my were 71736, 20126 and 20126, respectively. single and two-variable animal models w...

the aim of the present study was the genetic analysis of the dniester population of sterlet acipenser ruthenus and comparison of it to five other sterlet populations, in order to develop a population recovery plan. the genetic analysis of six sterlet populations from eurasian rivers (dniester, dnieper, danube, volga, kama and ob) was carried out using microsatellite dna markers. the genetic var...

A prospective study was carried out on 200 consecutive subjects seen for counselling (consultands) for serious genetic disorders. Educational and social background of consultands and their knowledge and understanding of their particular problem were assessed before counselling, and their response was determined immediately afterwards and three months and two years later by an independent observ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Rupture of intracranial aneurysms (IAs) causes subarachnoid hemorrhage, leading to immediate death or severe disability. Identification of the genetic factors involved is critical for disease prevention and treatment. We aimed to identify the susceptibility genes for IAs. METHODS Exome sequencing was performed in 12 families with histories of multiple cases of IA (numbe...

A South Wales gypsy kindred of Romany origin had a high incidence of phenylketonuria along with other recessively inherited disorders. There was a high degree of consanguinity (F = 0-017) with an excess of non-specific mental subnormality among known consanguineous matings. Phenylketonuria and a number of other recessively inherited disorders have been recorded from other Romany gypsy populatio...

In this family study of the narcoleptic syndrome, 52% of the probands had an affected first degree relative, 41.9% of the sibs of those probands with an affected parent were similarly affected, 33.3% of the parents of 2 affected sibs and 41.2% of the children (after a correction for age) had narcolepsy, cataplexy, or both.
