TL;DR: The results strongly support the hypothesis that, closely linked to the HLA region, there is a locus (S) for susceptibility to IDDM.

TL;DR: The transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) was used to analyze 115 candidate genes for linkage and association with diabetic nephropathy to provide modest support for a number of candidate genes previously studied by others.

TL;DR: The results provide strong evidence of a genetic contribution to expression differences between European and African populations, validating previous findings and estimating that 12±3% of all heritable variation in human gene expression is due to cis variants.

TL;DR: To identify the underlying changes in gene expression in response to ER stress, induced ER stress in human B cells and then measured gene expression at ten time points and rediscovered genes that were known to play a role in the ER-stress response and uncovered several thousand genes that are not known to be involved.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the repertoire of peripheral T cell specificities present in different individuals in human populations varies dramatically because of the effects of multiple factors, including TCR germ-line polymorphism.
