    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Sammanfattning : Domestication greatly increases phenotypic variation in a short time span, with selection for a single phenotype and a plethora of associated phenotypic changes as an outcome of the process. The domestication process influences the underlying genomic architecture of a species, and the success and speed of the process is likely influenced by it. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Summary in EnglishBackground: An awareness of hereditary susceptibility for breast, ovarian and colorectal cancer in high-risk families enables targeted cancer prevention. A discovered hereditary risk in one family member (proband) may thus be important for several members of that family. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Stability and validity of self-reported personality traits

    Författare :Petter J Gustavsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Karolinska Scales of Personality KSP ; personality traits; stability; outcome behavioral genetics; biological and clinical correlates Stockholm 1997;

    Sammanfattning : Background: People differ, and these differences are often attributed to individual differences in certain personality traits assumed to have 'more than nominal value' and to 'exist within' the individual. The aim of the present study was to evaluate some properties of a trait assessment instrument, the Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP). LÄS MER

  5. 4. The Interplay Between Selection And Constraints On Adaptive Divergence And Phenotypic Evolution

    Författare :Fabrice Eroukhmanoff; Biologiska institutionen; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Selection; Constraints; Adaptive Divergence; G-matrix; Gene Flow.; Speciation;

    Sammanfattning : Under natural or sexual selection, individuals with advantageous traits or combinations of traits will be more successful than their peers at surviving and/or reproducing. Provided these traits are heritable, meaning that they have a genetic basis, the traits combinations which are selected for, will increase in frequency in the population. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Register-based studies of sex steroid hormones and psychiatric disorders

    Författare :Vide Gotby; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : The focus of this thesis is the interplay between sex steroid hormones, psychiatric- and neurodevelopmental disorders and adverse behavioral outcomes. Sex steroid hormones are mostly known for their role in sexual differentiation and reproduction, but have been suggested to be involved the etiology of several psychiatric disorders and in adverse behaviors that show prominent sex differences in prevalence.
