Akseli Hemminki,David Markie,Ian Tomlinson,Egle Avizienyte,Stina Roth,Anu Loukola,Graham R. Bignell,William H. Warren,Maria Aminoff,Pia Höglund,H Järvinen,Paula Kristo,Katarina Pelin,Maaret Ridanpää,Reijo Salovaara,T Toro,Walter F. Bodmer,S Olschwang,Anne S. Olsen,Michael R. Stratton,A de la Chapelle,Lauri A. Aaltonen +21 more
TL;DR: The molecular background of the Peutz–Jeghers syndrome, a rare hereditary disease in which there is predisposition to benign and malignant tumours of many organ systems, is investigated and truncating germline mutations in a gene residing on chromosome 19p are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perceiving affordances : Visual guidance of stair climbing
TL;DR: It is concluded that perception for the control of action reflects the underlying dynamics of the animal-environment system.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prevalence of BRCA1 and BRCA2 Gene Mutations in Patients With Early-Onset Breast Cancer
Julian Peto,N. Collins,Rita Barfoot,Sheila Seal,William H. Warren,Nazneen Rahman,Douglas F. Easton,Christopher H. Evans,Judith Deacon,Michael R. Stratton +9 more
TL;DR: Mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCa2 genes make approximately equal contributions to early-onset breast cancer in Britain and account for a small proportion of the familial risk of breast cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Visual guidance of walking through apertures: body-scaled information for affordances.
William H. Warren,Suzanne Whang +1 more
TL;DR: This study videotaped large and small subjects walking through apertures to determine empirically the critical aperture-to-shoulder-width ratio (A/S) marking the transition from frontal walking to body rotation and tested the hypothesis that perceptual judgments of "passability" are based on intrinsic or body-scaled information specifying aperture width as a ratio of the observer's eyeheight.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optic flow is used to control human walking
TL;DR: It was found that people walked in the visual direction of a lone target, but increasingly relied on optic flow as it was added to the display, thereby allowing humans to have robust locomotor control under varying environmental conditions.
