  2. 31. 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

  4. 32. Gene mapping of reproduction traits in dairy cattle

    Author : Johanna Karolina Höglund; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In this thesis my aims were to map genes affecting reproduction in cattle and to explore the correlated effect of these genes on yield traits. This knowledge is expected to provide novel insights into the biological processes underlying reproduction traits and to identify individual causal polymorphisms or genetic markers for practical application in marker-assisted and genomic selection strategies.

  5. 33. Population level genome-wide association studies in dairy cattle

    Author : Xiaowei Mao; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : In recent years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) has become a dominant tool for detecting genetic architectures for complex traits. Thousands of associated genetic variants have been reported. However, the resolution of these studies was limited by the available marker density for the quantitative trait loci (QTL) region.

  6. 34. Genetic association analysis of overlapping biological pathways in cardiovascular and Alzheimer disease

    Author : Hagit Katzov; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Genetic variation; association; ACE; ABCA1; Alzheimer disease; pleiotropy; cardiovascular disease;

    Abstract : To gain insight into the importance of the genome for diseases, sequencing and genotyping efforts aim to identify the consequences of genetic variation on both a functional and population level. The task involves the fine-resolution mapping of biologically significant genes and regions discerned by linkage analysis. READ MORE

  7. 35. Genetic Studies of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis

    Author : Camilla Friberg; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : psoriasis; psoriatic arthritis; complex disease; autoimmune disease; linkage analysis; association analysis; PSOR5; 3q21; 5q31-32; SLC22A4; SLC22A5; CSTA; ZNF148; expression;

    Abstract : Psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are common chronic immune-mediated diseases of the skin and joints. Psoriasis affects approximately 2-3 % of the Caucasian population and about 30 % of all psoriasis patients develop psoriatic arthritis. READ MORE
