  2. 1. Human leukocyte antigens with special reference to association and linkage in multiple sclerosis

    Author : Anna Fogdell-Hahn; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : HLA; MHC; multiple sclerosis; narcolepsy; lod score; linkage.;

    Abstract : The polymorphism of HLA (human leukocyte antigen) is extensive. Allelic variation has previously been detected by cellular and serological methods. Today a variety of genomic typing techniques have been developed, which give higher resolution and a possibility to detect single nucleotide variations. READ MORE

  4. 2. Genetic studies of schizophrenia

    Author : Eva Lindholm; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Schizophrenia; complex diseases; mitochondria; large pedigree; linkage analysis; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Genetics; genetik;

    Abstract : The prevalence of schizophrenia is about 1% throughout the world. The disease is characterized by symptoms such as hallucinations, delusions and bizarre behavior. A genetic contribution to the disease was previously shown through epidemiological studies. The mitochondrial DNA was sequenced in four schizophrenic patients. READ MORE

  5. 3. The genetics of systemic lupus erythematosus : Mapping of susceptibility loci for human SLE

    Author : Anna-Karin B. Lindqvist; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Genetics; Systemic lupus erythematosus; complex diseases; genetic susceptibility; linkage analysis; genome scan; candidate gene; Genetik; Clinical genetics; Klinisk genetik; Medical Genetics; medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune disease affecting organs such as skin, jointsand kidneys. Characteristic for the disease is increased production of autoantibodies, in particular against dsDNA. Previous studies of SLE in mouse models and in humans indicate polygenic inheritance and genetic heterogeneity. READ MORE

  6. 4. Genetic studies of stroke in Northern Sweden

    Author : Sofie Nilsson Ardnor; Dan Holmberg; Jan Hillert; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; stroke; linkage; genome wide scan; susceptibility loci; association; candidade gene; PDE4D; PIK3R1; extended pedigree; Medical genetics; Medicinsk genetik;

    Abstract : Stroke is a common disorder of later life with a complex etiology, including both environmental and genetic risk factors. The inherited predisposition is challenging to study due to the complexity of the stroke phenotype. READ MORE

  7. 5. Molecular genetics of type 2 diabetes

    Author : Li Luosheng; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Type 2 diabetes; the Goto-Kakizaki rat; linkage analysis; quantitative trait locus; gene-gene interaction; high fat diet; disease progression; alternative splicing; comparative genomics.;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes is a common and chronic disease caused by interactions between genetic and environmental factors. The Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat is a well-established genetic model of type 2 diabetes. READ MORE
