1. Biological ages : correlations, genetic determinants, and health outcomes
Sammanfattning : Population aging is a global trend and requires better evidence-based guidance. This thesis studied population aging from a molecular epidemiological angle. LÄS MER
2. Osteogenesis Imperfecta : Genetic and Therapeutic Studies
Sammanfattning : Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is a heterogeneous disease of connective tissue, the cardinal symptom being fractures and severity ranging from mild to lethal. Dominant mutations in collagen I, encoded by COL1A1 and COL1A2, cause >90% of cases. LÄS MER
3. Human iris characteristics as biomarkers for personality
Sammanfattning : This dissertation explains why behavioral genetic research can be better informed by using characteristics in the human iris as biomarkers for personality, and is divided into five parts. Part I gives an introduction to the classical twin method and an overview of the findings that have led most developmental researchers to recognize that the normal variation of personality depends on a complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors.

4. Human genetic factors involved in immunity to Plasmodium falciparum infection
Sammanfattning : This study investigated the associations between IL-4 -590 C/T and IL-10 -1087 A/G polymorphisms and malariometric indexes in the Fulani and the Dogon ethnic groups living in sympatry in Mali and differing in susceptibility to malaria. The correlations between antibodies level and parasitological data as well as splenomegaly were assessed. LÄS MER
5. Birch Stem and Wood Traits in Genetic and Silviculture Trials in Southern Sweden
Sammanfattning : Swedish tree species of birch (silver: Betula pendula and downy: B. pubescens) are often neglected during forest management activities, resulting in low value logs. This thesis investigated birch stem characteristics and wood properties important for solid wood products, in genetics and management trials in southern Sweden. LÄS MER
