Recent Advances in the Genetics of Parkinson's DiseaseAnnual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics - Tập 12 Số 1 - Trang 301-325 - 2011
Ian Martin, Valina L. Dawson, Ted M. Dawson
Genetic studies have provided valuable insight into the pathological mechanisms
underlying Parkinson's disease (PD). The elucidation of genetic components to
what was once largely considered a nongenetic disease has given rise to a
multitude of cell and animal models enabling the dissection of molecular
pathways involved in disease etiology. Here, we review advances obtained from
models of dominan... hiện toàn bộ
COMPLEX GENETICS OF GLAUCOMA SUSCEPTIBILITYAnnual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics - Tập 6 Số 1 - Trang 15-44 - 2005
Richard T. Libby, Douglas B. Gould, Michael G. Anderson, Simon W. M. John
▪ Abstract Glaucoma describes a group of diseases that kill retinal ganglion
cells. There are different types of glaucoma, and each appears to be genetically
heterogeneous. Different glaucoma genes have been identified, but these genes
account for only a small proportion of glaucoma. Most glaucoma cases appear to
be multifactorial, and are likely affected by multiple interacting loci. A
number of... hiện toàn bộ
The Mitochondrial Proteome and Human DiseaseAnnual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics - Tập 11 Số 1 - Trang 25-44 - 2010
Sarah E. Calvo, Vamsi K. Mootha
For nearly three decades, the sequence of the human mitochondrial genome (mtDNA)
has provided a molecular framework for understanding maternally inherited
diseases. However, the vast majority of human mitochondrial disorders are caused
by nuclear genome defects, which is not surprising since the mtDNA encodes only
13 proteins. Advances in genomics, mass spectrometry, and computation have only
rece... hiện toàn bộ
Biased Gene Conversion and the Evolution of Mammalian Genomic LandscapesAnnual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics - Tập 10 Số 1 - Trang 285-311 - 2009
Laurent Duret, Nicolas Galtier
Recombination is typically thought of as a symmetrical process resulting in
large-scale reciprocal genetic exchanges between homologous chromosomes.
Recombination events, however, are also accompanied by short-scale,
unidirectional exchanges known as gene conversion in the neighborhood of the
initiating double-strand break. A large body of evidence suggests that gene
conversion is GC-biased in man... hiện toàn bộ
Hedgehog Signaling and Human DiseaseAnnual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 47-65 - 2002
A. Bale
Developmental pathways first elucidated by genetic studies in the fruit fly
Drosophila melanogaster are conserved in vertebrates. The hedgehog pathway,
first discovered because of its involvement in early Drosophila development,
plays a key role in human embryogenesis. Dissruption of this pathway has been
associated with congenital anomalies of the central nervous system, axial
skeleton, limbs, an... hiện toàn bộ
The Spatial Organization of the Human GenomeAnnual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics - Tập 14 Số 1 - Trang 67-84 - 2013
Wendy A. Bickmore
In vivo, the human genome functions as a complex, folded, three-dimensional
chromatin polymer. Understanding how the human genome is spatially organized and
folded inside the cell nucleus is therefore central to understanding how genes
are regulated in normal development and dysregulated in disease. Established
light microscopy–based approaches and more recent molecular chromosome
conformation cap... hiện toàn bộ
Noninvasive Prenatal Genetic Testing: Current and Emerging Ethical, Legal, and Social IssuesAnnual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics - Tập 16 Số 1 - Trang 369-398 - 2015
Mollie Minear, Stephanie A. Alessi, Megan Allyse, Marsha Michie, Subhashini Chandrasekharan
Noninvasive prenatal genetic testing (NIPT) for chromosomal aneuploidy involving
the analysis of cell-free fetal DNA became commercially available in 2011. The
low false-positive rate of NIPT, which reduces unnecessary prenatal invasive
diagnostic procedures, has led to broad clinician and patient adoption. We
discuss the ethical, legal, and social issues raised by rapid and global
dissemination o... hiện toàn bộ
HUMAN MIGRATIONS AND POPULATION STRUCTURE: What We Know and Why it MattersAnnual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics - Tập 3 Số 1 - Trang 129-152 - 2002
David B. Goldstein, Lounès Chikhi
▪ Abstract The increasingly obvious medical relevance of human genetic
variation is fueling the development of a rich interface between medical
genetics and the study of human genetic history. A key feature of this interface
is a step increase in the size and diversity of genetic data sets, permitting a
range of new questions to be addressed concerning our evolutionary history.
Similarly, methodo... hiện toàn bộ
Sequence Divergence, Functional Constraint, and Selection in Protein EvolutionAnnual Review of Genomics and Human Genetics - Tập 4 Số 1 - Trang 213-235 - 2003
Justin C. Fay, Chung‐I Wu
The genome sequences of multiple species has enabled functional inferences from
comparative genomics. A primary objective is to infer biological functions from
the conservation of homologous DNA sequences between species. A second, more
difficult, objective is to understand what functional DNA sequences have changed
over time and are responsible for species' phenotypic differences. The neutral

Trey Ideker, Timothy Galitski, Leroy Hood
▪ Abstract Systems biology studies biological systems by systematically
perturbing them (biologically, genetically, or chemically); monitoring the gene,
protein, and informational pathway responses; integrating these data; and
ultimately, formulating mathematical models that describe the structure of the
system and its response to individual perturbations. The emergence of systems
biology is desc... hiện toàn bộ
