The study sample for the analysis of the LEP locus alleles and BMI groups was n=166, due to missing data for those alleles in some of the 181 individuals. Stature was measured using a portable GPM ...

This study used computer simulations to investigate how the number of alleles at loci affects the precision of estimates of four common genetic distances. This showed that equivalent results could ...

Among recipients who were homozygous at any HLA class I locus mismatched for two or three alleles, the proportions of graft failures were one of six and two of four, respectively. Among recipients ...

Gene targeting (GT) via homologous recombination (HR) is a powerful tool for precise genome editing, but its application in ...

If an individual inherits two identical alleles, their genotype is said to be homozygous at that locus. However, if they possess two different alleles, their genotype is classed as heterozygous for ...

In most cases, there is not one single locus whose alleles determine how a trait is expressed. Let’s consider eye color – blue, green, brown and hazel eyes are each encoded by unique set of alleles in ...

Alleles of IL2RA and IL7RA and those in the HLA locus are identified as heritable risk factors for multiple sclerosis. Panel A shows an outline of the experiments, in which 1003 family trios were ...

The numerical and letter notation refers to the locus and chromosomal arm position ... If this rise is faster than recombination can destroy genetic associations, other alleles in nearby regions can ...

At the b1 locus, the paramutagenic allele ... the progeny get both alleles. However, the paramutagenic allele silences the wild-type allele and produces a plant with stippled rather than purple ...

Allelon, one another; morphe, form). Now used for alternative forms at a genetic locus. Codominant alleles are particularly useful as genetic markers. Allopatric: having non-overlapping geographic ...

One of these alleles is a D gene (for dextral ... The proposed genetic locus that determines hand preference contains an allele from each parent, and the various possible genetic combinations ...
