Small supernumerary marker chromosomes are estimated to occur in 1.5 per 1,000 livebirths. One of the most common chromosome markers is the inv dup (15), which may represent as many as 50% of the ...

A new study combines genetic data and improved computational tools to look more closely at GWAS results for both adult-onset and childhood-onset asthma. The research identified many genetic variants ...

mFISH is performed based on whole or partial chromosome painting, centromeric or locus-specific DNA probes. Since 1996, new mFISH probe sets have been established every year, and this development ...

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genome regions containing thousands of genetic variants associated with asthma, but it's still not clear which variants have an ...

UChicago study combines genetic data with computational models to pinpoint likely genetic variations which cause asthma onset ...

Editor—Reports of patients with terminal de novo deletions of chromosome 15q26 are rare. Excluding cases of ring chromosome 15 formation with different sized deleted chromosomal segments, only seven ...

Linkage analysis localised the disease gene to chromosome 3p14. A maximum lod score of 6.49 (q = 0) was obtained for the marker at locus D3S3532 on chromosome 3p. Recombination mapping narrowed the ...

Even when the GWAS locus looks the same, the genes functionally linked to ... the bundle of DNA and proteins that make up ...
