Massive parallel sequencing has revolutionized the search for pathogenic variants in the human genome, but for routine diagnosis, re-sequencing of the complete human genome in a large cohort of patients is still far too expensive. Recently, novel genome partitioning methods have been developed that allow to target re-sequencing to specific genomic compartments, but practical experience with these ...... hiện toàn bộ
The use of race, ethnicity and ancestry in human genetic research Tập 5 - Trang 47-63 - 2011
Sarah E. Ali-Khan, Tomasz Krakowski, Rabia Tahir, Abdallah S. Daar
Post-Human Genome Project progress has enabled a new wave of population genetic research, and intensified controversy over the use of race/ethnicity in this work. At the same time, the development of methods for inferring genetic ancestry offers more empirical means of assigning group labels. Here, we provide a systematic analysis of the use of race/ethnicity and ancestry in current genetic resear...... hiện toàn bộ
The GAMY Project: young people’s attitudes to genetics in the South Wales valleys Tập 4 - Trang 49-60 - 2011
Rachel Iredale, Kim Madden, Nicola Taverner, Juping Yu, Kevin McDonald
This paper explores young people’s attitudes to genetics. It describes a qualitative study involving a group of teenagers in a deprived South Wales valley town over a period of 18 months. The GAMY (Genetics and Merthyr Youth) Project involved a series of interactions with participants, including 2 interviews, 4 group days and 4 genetics tasks through which these young people learned about, and the...... hiện toàn bộ
Current and emerging therapeutic strategies for Fanconi anemia Tập 6 - Trang 1-8 - 2012
Pallavi Shukla, Kanjaksha Ghosh, Babu R Vundinti
Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a rare disorder with incidence of 1in 350,000 births. It is characterized by progressive bone marrow failure leading to death of many patients in their childhood while development of cancer at later stages of life in some. The treatment of FA is still a medical challenge. Current treatments of FA include androgen administration, hematopoietic growth factors administration an...... hiện toàn bộ
