Genetic Susceptibility to Neurodegeneration in Amazon: Apolipoprotein E Genotyping in Vulnerable Populations Exposed to Mercury.

abstract：:Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is mostly caused by two distinct events that occur in the FMR1 gene (Xq27.3): an expansion above 200 repeats of a CGG triplet located in the 5'UTR of the gene, and methylation of the cytosines located in the CpG islands upstream of the CGG repeats. Here, we describe two unrelated families with...

abstract：:A within-breed genome-wide association study (GWAS) is useful when identifying the QTL that segregates in a breed. However, an across-breed meta-analysis can be used to increase the power of identification and precise localization of QTL that segregate in multiple breeds. Precise localization will allow including QTL ...
