Congenic mouse strains—used for decades in immunology research and assumed to be genetically identical outside of a marker locus—have been found to contain previously unrecognized genetic ...

By having demonstrated that eyebrow variation is determined by both shared and distinct genetic factors across continental populations, our findings underline the need for studying populations of ...

The authors review recent studies into the heritable basis of population epigenomic variation and discuss important challenges when interpreting results from these genetic studies in different ...

There are three key aspects to genetic disease associations: comprehensive variant discovery, accurate allele-frequency determination, and an understanding of the pattern of normal variation and ...

Genetic Variation in GRIK4 and the Implications for Antidepressant Treatment . Silvia Paddock. Pharmacogenomics. 2008;9(2):133-135. Clinical depression is one of the leading causes of long-term ...

These limitations to genetic variation can endanger and even cause extinction in some populations. Knowing how to increase allelic variation, or at the very least maintain it at current levels, is ...

“Among those with the pathogenic TTR Val122Ile genetic variation, the heart may gradually become unable to function correctly, which will lead to heart failure and ultimately death,” said Arora, an ...
