A genome-wide search for asthma susceptibility loci in ethnically diverse populations

TL;DR: A genome-wide search in 140 families with ≥2 asthmatic sibs, from three racial groups and report evidence for linkage to six novel regions, including 5p15 (P= 0.0008) and 17p11.1–q11.2 (/> = 0.0015) in African Americans and 11p15 and 19q13 (P =0.0013) in Caucasians and Hispanics.
Journal ArticleDOI

Linkage analysis with multiplexed short tandem repeat polymorphisms using infrared fluorescence and M13 tailed primers.

TL;DR: A technique known as multiplexing STRPs with tailed primers (MSTP) using primers that have a 19-bp extension identical to the sequence of an M13 sequencing primer on the 5' end of the forward primer in conjunction with multiplexed several primer pairs in a single polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification.
Book

The genetic basis of common diseases.

TL;DR: The Genetic Basis of Common Diseases is an excellent compilation of current knowledge that delineates the genetic aspects of common disorders and points out that the simply inherited mendelian disorders are uncommon or rare but that there are no chromosome abnormalities.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the Human Orthologue of the Mouse underwhite Gene (uw) Underlie a New Form of Oculocutaneous Albinism, OCA4

TL;DR: The mouse underwhite gene and its human orthologue are identified, which underlies a new form of human OCA, termed "OCA4," and the encoded protein, MATP (for "membrane-associated transporter protein") is predicted to span the membrane 12 times and likely functions as a transporter.
