Journal ArticleDOI
Bayesian Haplotype Inference for Multiple Linked Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms
TL;DR: A new Monte Carlo approach that can accurately and rapidly infer haplotypes for a large number of linked SNPs and is robust to the violation of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, to the presence of missing data, and to occurrences of recombination hotspots is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma glucose levels and diabetes are independent predictors for mortality and morbidity in patients with SARS
Jin-Kui Yang,Y. Feng,M. Y. Yuan,S. Y. Yuan,H. J. Fu,B. Y. Wu,G. Z. Sun,G. R. Yang,X. L. Zhang,L. Wang,Xiping Xu,X. P. Xu,Juliana C.N. Chan +12 more
TL;DR: This study aims to investigate the relationships between a known history of diabetes and ambient fasting plasma glucose levels with death and morbidity rates in patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).
Journal ArticleDOI

Yi-Hsiang Hsu,Scott A. Venners,Henry Terwedow,Yan Feng,Tianhua Niu,Zhiping Li,Nan M. Laird,Joseph D. Brain,Steve Cummings,Mary L. Bouxsein,Cliff J. Rosen,Xiping Xu +11 more
TL;DR: Risks of osteoporosis, osteopenia, and nonspine fractures were significantly higher for subjects with higher percentage body fat independent of body weight, physical activity, and age.

TL;DR: This Conference Report was prepared by a multidisciplinary ad hoc committee of the Assembly on Environmental and Occupational Health.
Journal ArticleDOI
The direction of microsatellite mutations is dependent upon allele length.
TL;DR: The rate of contraction mutations increases exponentially with allele size, whereas the rate of expansion mutations is constant across the entire allele distribution, offering an explanation for the stationary allele distribution of microsatellites.
