Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have mapped thousands of susceptibility loci associated with immune-mediated diseases. To assess the extent of the genetic sharing across nine immune-mediated diseases we apply genomic structural equation modelling
glomerulonephritis (n = 58), ADHD (n = 26) and conduct disorder (n = 13). As both FinnGen and UKB rely mainly on diagnosis codes recorded at hospitals, conditions that are usually managed in the primary or outpatient care setting are under-ascertained, but this does not bia...
(SNPs), simple sequence length polymorphisms (SSLPs), and restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs). SSLPs include repeat sequences, variations known as minisatellites (variable number oftandemrepeats, or VNTRs) and microsatellites (simple tandem repeats, STRs). Insertions/deletions (indels)...
Presymptomatic genetic testing is used to predict certain risk to an individual. Presymptomatic testing for Huntington's disease, a degenerative neurological disorder, is one example. It is now possible for those at increased risk for Huntington's disease to undergo presymptomatic testing prior to the...
A more detailed but older definition states “genetic counseling is a communication process which deals with the human problems associated with the occurrence of a genetic disorder in a family” (Fraser, 1974, p. 663). According toFraser (1974), the process should involve attempts by one or ...
Variant in ITPR3 behind a complex multisystemic disorder Sep. 25, 2024 No Comments The homeostasis of cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) is crucial for several physiological functions such as cell motility and neuronal transmission, among others. In this process, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor ...
If patients are considering genetic testing for a certain disorder, they should consider whether the information will help them protect themselves or better plan for the future. Patients should ask themselves how the results could impact their future plans before proceeding with testing. This is ...

In modern molecular biology the genome of an organism is its hereditary information encoded in DNA (or, for retroviruses, RNA). The genome includes both the genes and the non-coding sequences of the DNA. The term was adapted in 1920 by Hans Winkler, Professor of Botany at the University ...
