Introduction Parents have significant genetic and environmental influences, which are known as intergenerational effects, on the cognition, behavior, brain of their offspring. These effects observed in patients with mood disorders, a particularly strong association depression between mothers daughters. Objectives The main purpose our study was to investigate female-specific transmission pattern...

We describe hereditary retinoschisis without foveal retinoschisis in a girl (the product of a consanguineous marriage) and her father. The father had peripheral retinoschisis with dendritic changes of the retina and good visual acuity. The daughter had peripheral retinoschisis complicated by vitreous haemorrhage and retinal detachment. Neither had foveal retinoschisis. The pattern in a scotopic...

Most report of Weaver syndrome have been sporadic cases and the genetic basis of the syndrome is uncertain. This report of an affected father and daughter provides evidence for autosomal dominant inheritance.

However, most cases they posting fight against patriarchy. Patriarchy, as a male dominated social system, always seems hostile the liberation of suppressing identity.

This paper argues that Viola and Olivia in Shakespeare's comedy Twelfth Night (1623) are driven by their unconscious desire to possess their brothers who serve as father-figures for them. By applying Carl Jung's theory of Electra Complex and a related Freudian theory of penis envy, I will seek to make a study of the phallic and the post-Oedipal stages in the psychosexual development of the two ...

The purpose of this research was to develop a model of individuation in family relationships that focuses on communication processes, and to assess the links between them and adolescent identity exploration. Expressions of the 4 dimensions of the model--self-assertion, separateness, permeability, and mutuality--were predicted to be positively associated with identity exploration in adolescents....

OBJECTIVE Three groups of girls who were sexually abused (by either brothers, fathers, or stepfathers) were compared. The purpose was to identify the differing characteristics of the abuse, the family environments, and the psychosocial distress of these children. METHOD Seventy-two girls aged between 5 and 16 were assigned to one of the three groups. Subjects were matched between groups on th...

Classical statistical genetics models of a quantitative trait depending on an autosomal gene indicate that father-to-daughter and mother-to-son correlations should be the same. If phenotypes are not sex-dependent, father-to-son and mother-to-daughter correlations also share this common value. On the other hand, if the gene is sex-linked, then the father-to-son correlation is zero. Such models d...
