Three founder mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 contribute to the risk of hereditary breast and ovarian cancer in Ashkenazi Jews (AJ). They are observed at increased frequency in the AJ compared to other BRCA mutations in Caucasian non-Jews (CNJ). Several authors have proposed that elevated allele frequencies in the surrounding genomic regions reflect adaptive or balancing selection. Such proposals predict...
We performed a whole genome linkage analysis in a three-generation south Indian family with multiple members affected with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME). The maximum two-point LOD score obtained was 3.32 at recombination fraction (θ) = 0 for D2S2248. The highest multipoint score of 3.59 was observed for the genomic interval between D2S2322 and D2S2228 at the chromosomal region 2q33–q36. Proximal...
