Thrombotic Antiphospholipid Syndrome Shows Strong Haplotypic Association with SH2B3-ATXN2 Locus
(Public Library of Science, 2013-07-03)
Background :
Thrombotic antiphospholipid syndrome is defined as a complex form of thrombophilia that is developed by a fraction of antiphospholipid antibody (aPLA) carriers. Little is known about the genetic risk factors ...
Stress Response to Climate Change and Postharvest Handling in Two Differently Pigmented Lettuce Genotypes: Impact on Alternaria alternata Invasion and Mycotoxin Production
(MDPI, 2023-03-14)
Many species of Alternaria are important pathogens that cause plant diseases and postharvest rots. They lead to significant economic losses in agriculture and affect human and animal health due to their capacity to produce ...
A short exposure to a semi-natural habitat alleviates the honey bee hive microbial imbalance caused by agricultural stress
(Nature, 2022-11)
Honeybee health and the species' gut microbiota are interconnected. Also noteworthy are the multiple niches present within hives, each with distinct microbiotas and all coexisting, which we termed "apibiome". External ...
A Novel Transcriptome-Derived SNPs Array for Tench (Tinca Tinca L.)
(Public Library Science, 2019-03-19)
Tench (Tinca tinca L.) has great economic potential due to its high rate of fecundity and long-life span. Population genetic studies based on allozymes, microsatellites, PCR-RFLP and sequence analysis of genes and DNA ...
Serological and Genetic Evidence for Altered Complement System Functionality in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Findings of the GAPAID Consortium
(Public Library Science, 2016-03-07)
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease with multifactorial ethiopathogenesis. The complement system is involved in both the early and late stages of disease development and organ damage. To better ...
Hygroregulation, a key ability for eusocial insects: Native Western European honeybees as a case study
(Public Library Science, 2019-02-08)
Sociality has brought many advantages to various hymenoptera species, including their ability of regulating physical factors in their nest (e.g., temperature). Although less studied, humidity is known to be important for ...
Association of height and pubertal timing with lipoprotein subclass profile: exploring the role of genetic and environmental effects
(Wiley, 2013-05-04)
Objectives: Little is known about the relationship between growth and lipoprotein profile. We aimed to analyze common genetic and environmental factors in the association of height from late childhood to adulthood and ...
The association between height and birth order: evidence from 652,518 Swedish men
(BMJ, 2013)
Background: Birth order is associated with outcomes such as birth weight and adult socioeconomic position (SEP), but little is known about the association with adult height. This potential birth order-height association ...
Genetic and Environmental Influences on Growth from Late Childhood to Adulthood: A Longitudinal Study of Two Finnish Twin Cohorts
(Wiley, 2011-09-29)
Objectives: Human growth is a complex process that remains insufficiently understood. We aimed to analyze genetic and environmental influences on growth from late childhood to early adulthood.
Methods: Two cohorts of ...
Association among obesity-related anthropometric phenotypes: analyzing genetic and environmental contribution
(Wayne State University Press, 2012-04-01)
Obesity has become a public-health and policy problem in many parts of the world. Epidemiological and population studies in this field are usually based on different anthropometric measures; however, common genetic and ...
