21. Molecular Genetic Studies of ALSG, Kostmann Syndrome and a Novel Chromosome 10 Inversion
Sammanfattning : In summary, this thesis presents the localisation and identification of genetic variants of which some are disease associated and some considered to be neutral. Knowledge of the basic mechanisms behind human disorders is important both from a biological and medical point of view. LÄS MER
22. Genetic and epidemiological studies of infantile hypertrophic pyloric stenosis
Sammanfattning : Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (IHPS) is a condition of early infancy characterized by thickening of the pyloric muscle resulting in obstruction of gastric outflow. It affects 1-3/1000 live births and is one of the most common causes of gastrointestinal obstruction in infants. LÄS MER
23. FOXC2 and CAPN10 as candidate genes for obesity, insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes
Sammanfattning : The worldwide prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes is increasing rapidly. Both disorders depend on genetic and environmental factors. The studies included in this thesis investigated the possible association of the FOXC2 and CAPN10 genes with obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and related phenotypes. LÄS MER
24. Genetic studies of diabetes in northern Sweden
Sammanfattning : Diabetes mellitus represents a group of metabolic disorders caused by both environmental and genetic factors. The two most common forms of diabetes are type 2 diabetes (T2D) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). T2D is associated with obesity and the disease is caused by insulin resistance and pancreatic b-cell dysfunction. LÄS MER
25. Gene mapping of reproduction traits in dairy cattle
Sammanfattning : In this thesis my aims were to map genes affecting reproduction in cattle and to explore the correlated effect of these genes on yield traits. This knowledge is expected to provide novel insights into the biological processes underlying reproduction traits and to identify individual causal polymorphisms or genetic markers for practical application in marker-assisted and genomic selection strategies.
