Fragile X gene stability in Basque Valleys: prevalence of premutation and intermediate alleles.
December 1, 2008... Fragile X syndrome (OMIM 309550) is the most common form of inherited mental retardation. In 1991 the mutation leading to fragile X syndrome in the vast majority of affected individuals was identified in the X-chromosome-linked FMRI gene. This mutation is the unstable expansion of a CGG...
Genetic affinity between diverse Ethnoreligious Communities of Tamil Nadu, India: a microsatellite study.
December 1, 2008... India, being a center stage for modern human dispersals, is a diverse human genetic pool drawn from widely divergent cultures, religions, languages, and geographic backgrounds (Gadgil et al. 1997). Human diversity in India is characterized by 4,635 documented communities, constituting 2,205...
Twinning and its correlates: community-based study in a rural area of India.
December 1, 2008... Multiple pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy deserving institutional delivery. Among multiple births, twin births are the commonest form. Twin pregnancies are associated with significantly higher mortality than singleton pregnancies. Knowledge of maternal characteristics associated with twin...
Presentation, heritability, and genome-wide linkage analysis of the midchildhood growth spurt in healthy children from the Fels Longitudinal Study.(Clinical report)
December 1, 2008... Growth is a complex process composed of distinct phases and events that take place over the course of childhood. For example, the pubertal growth spurt has received considerable attention from auxologists and pediatricians. In contrast, the midchildhood growth spurt has been much less well...
Contribution of genetics and environment to craniofacial anthropometric phenotypes in Belgian nuclear families.
December 1, 2008... The causes of familial resemblance in and the contribution of genetic and environmental factors to craniofacial growth and morphology have been studied in biological anthropology, genetics, anatomy, and dentistry since at least the mid-1940s (Carels et al. 2001; Kohn 1991). Throughout human...
