21. Genetic studies of craniosynostosis with focus on syndromic forms
Sammanfattning : Craniosynostosis (CS) represents the premature closure of skull sutures and affects ~1 in 2500 children. Untreated CS can lead to significant complications in craniofacial and psychomotor development. The only treatment available is surgical and requires access to highly specialized healthcare. LÄS MER
22. Chosen Children? : An empirical study and a philosophical analysis of moral aspects of pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and germ-line gene therapy
Sammanfattning : With pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), genetic testing and selective transfer of embryos is possible. In the future, germ-line gene therapy (GLGT) applied to embryos before implantation, in order to introduce missing genes or replace mutant ones, may be possible. LÄS MER
23. Genetic analysis of murine malaria
Sammanfattning : Malaria, an infectious disease caused by Plasmodium parasites, is one of the major world-scale health problems. Despite the efforts aimed at finding an effective way to control the disease, the success has been thwarted by the emergence of parasite drug resistance and mosquito resistance to insecticides.

24. Genetic Heteroscedasticity for Domestic Animal Traits
Sammanfattning : Animal traits differ not only in mean, but also in variation around the mean. For instance, one sire’s daughter group may be very homogeneous, while another sire’s daughters are much more heterogeneous in performance. The difference in residual variance can partially be explained by genetic differences. LÄS MER
25. Genetic variation in structured populations
Sammanfattning : It is widely acknowledged that the process of speciation in the presence of gene flow between different ecotypes is common in nature. However, the mechanisms underlying speciation are not understood. LÄS MER
