Longmate J, Larson G, Krontiris T, Sommer S
PLoS One
. 2010 Dec;
5(12):e14318.
PMID: 21187953
We describe three statistical results that we have found to be useful in case-control genetic association testing. All three involve combining the discovery of novel genetic variants, usually by sequencing,...

PMID: 20850505
In a large Scottish pedigree, a balanced translocation t (1;11)(q42.1;q14.3) disrupting the DISC1 and DISC2 genes segregates with major mental illness, including schizophrenia and depression. A frame-shift carboxyl-terminal deletion was...

. 2009 Dec;
4(12):e8480.
PMID: 20041150
Background: Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS), a common, chronic, widespread musculoskeletal pain disorder found in 2% of the general population and with a preponderance of 85% in females, has both genetic and...

PLoS One
. 2009 Oct;
4(9):e7220.
PMID: 19789704
Background: Tumor DNA has been shown to be present both in circulating tumor cells in blood and as fragments in the plasma of metastatic cancer patients. The identification of ultra-rare...

RNA
. 2009 Jul;
15(9):1640-51.
PMID: 19617315
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are 21-25-nucleotide-long, noncoding RNAs that are involved in translational regulation. Most miRNAs derive from a two-step sequential processing: the generation of pre-miRNA from pri-miRNA by the Drosha/DGCR8 complex...

PLoS One
. 2009 Jul;
4(7):e6121.
PMID: 19568434
Background: Schizophrenia is a severe disabling brain disease affecting about 1% of the population. Individual microRNAs (miRNAs) affect moderate downregulation of gene expression. In addition, components required for miRNA processing...

J Clin Oncol
. 2009 Feb;
27(8):1250-6.
PMID: 19204208
Purpose: A clinical testing cohort was used to gain a broader understanding of the spectrum of tumors associated with germline p53 mutations to aid clinicians in identifying high-risk families. Patients...

Curr Protoc Hum Genet
. 2009 Jan;
Chapter 9:Unit 9.20.
PMID: 19170035
Clinical diagnostic and epidemiological assays would benefit from accurate detection of duplications and deletions commonly missed by conventional methods of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and sequencing of individual exons....

PLoS One
. 2008 Nov;
3(11):e3714.
PMID: 19005564
Background: Evidence strongly suggests that spontaneous doublet mutations in normal mouse tissues generally arise from chronocoordinate events. These chronocoordinate mutations sometimes reflect "mutation showers", which are multiple chronocoordinate mutations spanning...

Genetics
. 2008 Aug;
179(4):1795-806.
PMID: 18711219
Defective DNA replication can result in substantial increases in the level of genome instability. In the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the pol3-t allele confers a defect in the catalytic subunit of...
