The Diagnosis of Mitochondrial Diseases

Because the mitochondrion is the only non-nuclear organelle in the animal cell that contains proteins encoded by its own DNA, inherited defects causing mitochondrial dysfunction can be due to mutations either in nuclear DNA (nDNA) or i ...

Instead, we included data from both scans in the analysis, with the markers separated by an arbitrarily small distance (0.2 cM), the rationale being that any serious errors would be detected as “double recombinants” at the next stage of cleaning. Next, the combined dataset was examined for “Mendelia ...

Using uniformat and Gene[rate] to analyse data with ambiguities in

... Essentially all methods of population genetics have been conceived for data without ambiguities and, therefore, are not appropriate to handle ambiguous data. A common approach is to pre–process the data in order to eliminate ambiguities and hence obtain single two–allele genotypes [10]. The problem ...

Medical genetics

Medical genetics is the specialty of medicine that involves the diagnosis and management of hereditary disorders. Medical genetics differs from human genetics in that human genetics is a field of scientific research that may or may not apply to medicine, but medical genetics refers to the application of genetics to medical care. For example, research on the causes and inheritance of genetic disorders would be considered within both human genetics and medical genetics, while the diagnosis, management, and counseling of individuals with genetic disorders would be considered part of medical genetics.In contrast, the study of typically non-medical phenotypes such as the genetics of eye color would be considered part of human genetics, but not necessarily relevant to medical genetics (except in situations such as albinism). Genetic medicine is a newer term for medical genetics and incorporates areas such as gene therapy, personalized medicine, and the rapidly emerging new medical specialty, predictive medicine.
