摘要:
The present disclosure relates to genetic markers and methods of diagnosing and screening for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD). As such, the disclosure encompasses a whole-genome association analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of which a number are located within the GRB2-associated binding protein 2 (GAB2) gene as well as other markers associated with other genes. The disclosure identifies two novel haplotypes within the GAB2 gene, i.e., a LOAD risk-enhancing and a LOAD risk-decreasing haplotype. These haplotypes modify LOAD risk differentially in combination with APOE alleles. Further encompassed are therapeutic methods and agents of decreasing the deterioration of cells associated with LOAD.

摘要:
The present invention provides methods of determining a Genetic Composite Index score by assessing the association between an individual's genotype and at least one disease or condition. The assessment comprises comparing an individual's genomic profile with a database of medically relevant genetic variations that have been established to associate with at least one disease or condition.

The present invention provides methods of assessing an individual's genotype correlations by analyzing the individual's genomic profile to a database of medically relevant genetic variations that have been established to correlate to a phenotype.
摘要:
The present disclosure provides methods and systems for incorporating multiple environmental and genetic risk factors into an individual's genomic profile. Methods include assessing the association between an individual's genotype and at least one disease or condition by incorporating multiple genetic risk factors, environmental risk factors, or a combination of both.
摘要:
The identification of a novel mutation in the testis specific Y-like gene and association of the mutation with SIDDT syndrome are disclosed. Methods for diagnosing SIDDT syndrome are disclosed. Methods for identifying compounds for use in the diagnosis and treatment of disorders associated with mutation in the TSPYL gene are also disclosed. The invention therefore provides nucleic acid sequences, genes, polypeptides, antibodies, vectors containing the gene, host cells transformed with vectors containing the gene, animal models for the disease, methods for expressing the polypeptide, genetic screening methods and kits, diagnostic methods and kits.
