populations. These findings indicate that, even if the bulk of alleles underlying complex health-related traits are common SNPs, geographic ancestry might well be an important predictor of whether a person carries a risk allele.doi:10.1086/522239Stephen L. Guthery...
Hematological traits are essential biomedical indicators that are widely used in clinical practice. The elucidation of the etiology that determines an individual's hematological traits would have a substantial impact.

On today’s show we discuss how small cap stocks got so cheap, how to improve your chances of outperforming the market, why investors are rushing into bonds, Americans make more money than you think, good news on gas prices, how the Fed can help the housing market, the best way to eat...
Despite their potential significance, population-specific SNPs have not been studied extensively. Previous HapMap data based studies on population-specific SNPs have been able to identify only a small number of population-specific SNPs due to ascertainment bias of the genotyping platform [6,33–35]....
an intermediate modified frailty index (2-3 frailty traits) and a high modified frailty index (≥4 frailty traits) were significantly associated with any type of complication and with serious complications, respectively, in multivariable analysis adjusting for other risk factors and clustering by operat...
Myopia is one of the leading causes of vision loss around the world[1]. In the United States, myopia affects approximately 25% of adult Americans[2]. Ethnic diversity appears to distinguish different groups with regard to prevalence. Caucasians have a higher prevalence than African Americans[3]...
" ~Professor Yntema, perhaps wishfully, has also noted that, despite certain differences, the two people whose laws we a r e discussing possess certain national traits in common.O In presenting the indebtedness of the common law to the Roman law, some remarks concerning the place of Roman ...
How is irony used in The Cask of Amontillado (a short story by Edgar Allen Poe) similar to The Birth-mark (a short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne)? Does the use of irony unravel certain character traits important to the theme/message of the story? If yes, h What are some o...
we carried out the largest genome-wide association study to date of DSM-IV-diagnosed AD. Genome-wide data on 14,904 individuals with AD and 37,944 controls from 28 case–control and family-based studies were meta-analyzed, stratified by genetic ancestry (European,n = 46,568; African,...
Americans confused me as I relied on Urban Dictionary to understand my peers, the Pledge of Allegiance seemed nationalistic, and the only thing familiar about Fahrenheit was the German after whom it was named. Too German for America and too American for Germany, I felt alienated from both. I...
