1. Pointwise and Genomewide Significance Calculations in Gene Mapping through Nonparametric Linkage Analysis: Theory, Algorithms and Applications
Sammanfattning : In linkage analysis or, in a wider sense, gene mapping one searches for disease loci along a genome. This is done by observing so called marker genotypes (alleles) and phenotypes (affecteds/unaffecteds) of a pedigree set, i.e. LÄS MER
2. On Power Estimation and Score Predictions in Affected Sib-Pair Linkage Analysis
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of three papers in statistical genetics, with the emphasis on affected sib-pair linkage analysis. In Paper A, a method to derive the power of linkage analysis in genome scans, using a stepwise approach, is presented. LÄS MER
3. Which Genes are Involved? - Statistical Planning and Analysis of Human Genetic Samples
Sammanfattning : This thesis consists of six papers related to the statistical planning and analysis of human genetic samples. The first four mainly concern statistical methodology, while the last two are applied papers in genetics and medicin. In paper A an alternative method of estimating the locus specific sibling relative risk .lambda. LÄS MER
4. Genetic studies of atopic dermatitis
Sammanfattning : Known from ancient times, atopic dermatitis is now the most prevalent chronic inflammatory skin disease in Swedish children. This is the result of a marked increase over the past few decades. LÄS MER
5. Investigation of genetic factors involved in colorectal cancer predisposition
Sammanfattning : Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death in the western world. Several hereditary CRC predisposing syndromes have been described and their genetic component has been elucidated. Taken together, these syndromes account for at most 5% of all CRC cases. LÄS MER
