A radiation hybrid map of the proximal short arm of the human X chromosome spanning incontinentia pigmenti 1 (IP1) translocation breakpoints
(Elsevier, 1992-11)
Radiation hybrid mapping was used in combination with physical mapping techniques to order and estimate distances between 14 loci in the proximal region of the short arm of the human X chromosome. A panel of radiation ...
Using sex-averaged genetic maps in multipoint linkage analysis when identity-by-descent status is incompletely known
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-07)
The ratio of male and female genetic map distances varies dramatically across the human genome. Despite these sex differences in genetic map distances, most multipoint linkage analyses use sex-averaged genetic maps. We ...
Syndrome X: Is it for real?
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1998)
The term syndrome X has been applied to the association of hypertension, non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), android obesity, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia. In this paper, based on population samples ...
Localization of the Gene for ATP Citrate Lyase (ACLY) Distal to Gastrin (GAS) and Proximal to D17S856 on Chromosome 17q12-q21
(Elsevier, 1994-05-15)
The gene encoding ATP-citrate lyase, designated ACLY, was mapped to human chromosome 17q12-q21 by PCR on a panel of human/rodent somatic cell hybrids and localized to 17q21.1 by PCH on a panel of radiation hybrids. The ...
Haplotype association analysis for late onset diseases using nuclear family data
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-04)
In haplotype-based association studies for late onset diseases, one attractive design is to use available unaffected spouses as controls (Valle et al. [1998] Diab. Care 21:949–958). Given cases and spouses only, the standard ...
Detection of oxidative mutagens in an urban air-particulate extract: a preliminary study
(Elsevier, 1992-12)
The Ames assays strains TA98 and TA100 have been useful in characterizing complex mixtures from organic solvent extracts of particles from diesel-powered vehicles, ambient air, and other sources. In this paper we report ...
Lod scores for gene mapping in the presence of marker map uncertainty
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-07)
Multipoint lod scores are typically calculated for a grid of locus positions, moving the putative disease locus across a fixed map of genetic markers. Changing the order of a set of markers and/or the distances between the ...
Assessment of sex-specific genetic and environmental effects on bone mineral density
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-09)
Although it is widely accepted that genes contribute significantly to the variation in bone mineral density (BMD), the nature of the genetic contribution is poorly defined. There are large gender differences in BMD, although ...
An evaluation of the replicate pool method: quick estimation of genome-wide linkage peak p -values
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-05)
The calculation of empirical p -values for genome-wide non-parametric linkage tests continues to present significant computational challenges for many complex disease mapping studies. The gold standard approach is to use ...
Synergism of mutant frequencies in the mouse lymphoma cell mutagenicity assay by binary mixtures of methyl methanesulfonate and ethyl methanesulfonate
(Elsevier, 1988-10)
The effect of mixed mutagen exposures on the rate and type of induced mutants was studied in the L5178Y/TK+/- --> TK-/- mouse lymphoma cell mutagenicity assay. In this assay, exposure to ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) ...
