Linkage disequilibrium mapping at DAT1, DRD5 andDBH narrows the search for ADHD susceptibility
alleles at these loci
There are two common functionally different
alleles at the 5 - HTTLPR site, the short (s) allele and the long (l) allele.
Data Extraction Logistic regression was used to estimate the effects of the number of short
alleles at 5 - HTTLPR, the number of stressful life events, and their interaction on depression.
In conclusion, there exists a robust relationship between the cultural construct individualism — collectivism and the prevalence of
alleles at several polymorphisms with apparent psychological effects.
In order to say that dogs are capable of producing a solid - color coat, they either must have at least one copy of As (they are black dogs), or they have a pair of ay
alleles at that locus (solid, but red - yellow), or they do have an As but not an E to express it (they only possess ee and thus are also solid reds).
If he has
both alleles at the D locus expressed as d, he will be dark slate - blue in both the coat and integument places that DD or Dd dogs would be black.
Expression of all of them requires any combination of two ky or Kbr
alleles at the K locus, and at least one E or Em allele at the E locus.
One of
the alleles at each locus is dominant and determines the traits, like coat color, portrayed in the dog.
In the instances where
some alleles at the E locus refuse to allow black genes to be expressed, you can get tan expressed in its place: think some Chessies, Chows, Danes, and others.
Only when both of
the alleles at the E locus are the recessive e allele, will the coat be yellow.
Investigation of the joint effect of DRD4 and TH showed that dogs possessing long
alleles at both sites were scored as less active - impulsive than others.
All dogs have
alleles at every locus.
This locus includes several alleles, and Embark can currently differentiate some, but not all, of the possible
alleles at this location.
To continually produce more extreme variation despite these purifying forces requires the dog genome to create new
alleles at an extraordinary rate.
In this scenario, if a locus i contains a drive element and the next locus does not, then the drive cuts both wild - type
alleles at that locus until both copies are disrupted, rendering resulting gametes nonviable (ci = 1).
At low - density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), carriers of rare non-synonymous mutations were at 4.2-fold increased risk for MI; carriers of null
alleles at LDLR were at even higher risk (13-fold difference).
The original model [5]--[6] considered individuals with two
alleles at each of two loci (ancestral population with genotype aabb).
We examined whether domesticated
alleles at each locus coalesce more recently than ancient alleles, as would be expected if domestication results in a selective sweep.
Heterozygosity for A / J - derived
alleles at both Bhr1 and Bhr5 is sufficient to confer the airway hyperresponsive phenotype.
We implemented mutant
alleles at any among five autosomal loci that imparted nonpleiotropic, deleterious effects (i.e., mutations that affected fertility did not affect survival and vice versa).
«Often this means making crosses with somewhat distant individuals, which may carry unfavorable
alleles at many positions in the genome.
Arrow indicates the first appearance of the derived
allele at position 10,218, distinguishing clusters 2 and 3.
From the pileup files, the major
allele at each mtDNA base - pair position was called as the allele in the consensus sequence.
Finally, allele - specific expression indicates that expression of one of the three NCAM genes has a two-fold reduction in expression when linked to the derived «sand»
allele at the CNE.
Additionally, we used interface species that were naturally segregating the «rock» allele and «sand»
allele at the NCAM CNE to confirm that genotype at the locus is associated with behavioral variation among full siblings within a species.
The derived
allele at this locus is nearly fixed in floppy - eared breeds, consistent with the floppy ear position being the derived phenotype (Figure S2).
For example, Clone # 5 had only a 10 - bp insertion / 4 - bp deletion on one allele and a 1 - bp insertion on the other
allele at the editing site.
Additionally, we found that CGG10023 carried the alternative
allele at ACN9 homologue (S. cerevisiae; ACN9), CKM, and COX4 / 1, all of which are associated with increased winning performance in modern race horses (37, 38).
We tested the hypothesis that the frequency of the minor Ser482
allele at the PPARGC1A locus is lower in World - class Spanish male endurance athletes (cases)[n = 104; mean (SD) age: 26.8 (3.8) yr] than in unfit United Kingdom (UK) Caucasian male controls [n = 100; mean (SD) age: 49.3 (8.1) yr].
Unequal duplicate epistasis - the normal
allele at clf1 is a dominant suppressor of the recessive phenotype at clf2, and the normal
allele at clf2 is a semidominant suppressor of the recessive phenotype at the clf1 locus.
Doing a genetic test and subsequently eliminating an individual from the breeding population may not be the best strategy, as by targeting a particular
allele at one genetic locus for removal from the gene pool of a particular breed, breeders may in fact increase allele frequency of genetic variants on alternative haplotypes at the same, or a different locus, that are recessively deleterious.
When a breed population carries a high frequency for a known detrimental
allele at a specific genetic locus, it may be possible to crossbreed with an animal free of the detrimental allele and then backcross to the original lineage, monitoring the presence of the desired allele using genetic testing.
Please note... there is no estimate of the frequency of the false
allele at this time, although it is much lower with the recently improved tests.
If a dog has a double dose of the d allele in place of the dominant D
allele at the D locus, such a dog will be blue (in the integument).
It could be Asee, the combined presence of the dominant black
allele at the A locus but with two copies of the recessive «non-extension» allele e at the E locus: the As would try to demand a solid black, but the e on the other locus does not allow that color to be extended to the haircoat.
Remarkably, the haplotype significantly overrepresented in probands contained the higher - expressing
allele at each locus, supporting the notion of increased serotonin transporter functioning being pathogenetically involved in OCD.
Consistent with the pathogenetic hypothesis of increased serotonin transporter activity in OCD, we showed that a haplotype containing the higher - expressing
allele at each of several SLC6A4 loci is significantly associated with increased genetic susceptibility to OCD.
