The Friedreich’s ataxia locus (FRDA) maps on chromosome 9q13. Genetic data, obtained from a small number of recombination events, indicated that the FRDA locus might be located centromeric to the ...

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic immune-mediated demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. Evidence from family studies indicates a strong genetic component. Despite many studies of ...

The genetic etiology for many forms of hearing impairment (HI) is very diverse. Non-syndromic HI (NSHI) is one of the most heterogeneous traits known. Autosomal recessive forms of prelingual HI ...

The Human Epigenome Project's pilot study included the development of novel approaches to mapping methylation across the genome. Researchers hope the so-called GOOD assay for epigenotyping, diagrammed ...

Two recessive mutant alleles at CAN OF WORMS1 (COW1), a new locus involved in root hair morphogenesis, have been identified in Arabidopsis thaliana L. Heynh. Root hairs on $\text{Cow}1^{-}$ mutants ...
