Popular Abstract in Swedish I kopplingsanalys, eller i en något mera generell mening vid genletning, så söker man efter sjukdomsgener längs ett genom. Här kan man tolka ett genom som en mängd av hela, eller bitar av, olika kromosomer. Med avseende på en mängd sammanhängande flergenerationella släkter så observerar man då, längs genomets kromosombitar, markördata, dvs genotyper bestående av nedärvdIn 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. a set of multigenerational families, in order to locate the loci corresponding to the underlying disease genes or, at least, to narrow down the interesting genome regions.

T-1-family conotoxins belong to the T-superfamily and are composed of 10-17 amino acids. They share a common cysteine framework and disulfide connectivity and exhibit unusual posttranslational modifications, such as tryptophan bromination, glutamic acid carboxylation, and threonine glycosylation. We have isolated and characterized a novel peptide, Mo1274, containing 11 amino acids, that shows the

Twin studies are widely used to estimate heritability of traits and typically rely on knowing the zygosity of twin pairs in order to determine variation attributable to genetics. Most twin studies are conducted in high resource settings. Large scale household survey data, such as the Demographic and Health Surveys, collect various biomarkers for children under five years old in low- and middle-inc

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling består av sex kapitel. Det första kapitlet är en introduktion medan de resterande fem innehåller avhandlingens huvudsakliga bidrag. De tre första kapitlen är samförfattade med Joakim Westerlund. Kapitel två har sin utgångspunkt i Westerlund (Empirical Economics 37:517-531, 2009) som visar på en svaghet i det populära LLC (Levin et al. Journal of EconoThis thesis is divided into two distinct parts. The first part contains three chapters, co-authored with Joakim Westerlund, that deal with the analysis of unit root testing, and the second part consists of two chapters on slope homogeneity testing. Chapter 2 continues and extends the analysis in Westerlund (Empirical Economics 37:517–531, 2009), who demonstrates that the performance of the popula

Pheromone communication systems have a reliable signal with a restricted window of amounts and ratios released and perceived. We propose a model based on a Gaussian response profile that allows a quantification of the response peak (location of optimum) and a measure of the peak width (response window). Interpreting the Gaussian curve, fitted by nonlinear regression (NLR), as a standard normal dis

In this paper we derive a very useful formula for the stochastic representation of the product of a singular Wishart matrix with a normal vector. Using this result, the expressions of the density function as well as of the characteristic function are established. Moreover, the derived stochastic representation is used to generate random samples from product which leads to a considerable improvemen

Smad5 is known to transduce intracellular signals from bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), which belong to the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily and are involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis. Recent findings suggest that BMP4 stimulates proliferation of human primitive hematopoietic progenitors in vitro, while early progenitors from mice deficient in Smad5 display increa

The possible benefits of introducing central counterparties, or clearing houses, in the credit derivatives market is currently intensively debated among bankers and policymakers. The exact outcome of this discussion is not yet clear but regardless of how any eventual clearing is organized the actual clearing house needs to be properly capitalized and needs to maintain accurate margin (collateral)

Popular Abstract in Swedish Förbättrad bedömning av njurskador hos barn med urinvägsinfektioner Urinvägsinfektioner är vanliga och förekommer hos 1 - 4 % av alla barn. Urinvägsinfektion kan ge upphov till njurinflammation och ibland kvarstående njurskada (ärr) efter läkning. Det finns risk för fortskridande njurskada om det finns kvarstående njurskada efter en urinvägsinfektion, om barnet får uppThe aim of the present thesis was to define and evaluate a strategy for identification of children who are at risk of developing progressive renal lesions after acute pyelonephritis. Tc-DMSA renal scintigraphy is widely accepted as the most sensitive method for detecting parenchymal lesions and diagnosing acute pyelonephritis. Qualitative and quantitative evaluation standards were elaborated to i

Vitamin D (25OHD) is essential for maintaining calcium homeostasis and inadequate levels have been associated with negative musculoskeletal as well as extraskeletal effects. Individuals at especially high risk of developing hypovitaminosis D are the elderly. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the association between 25OHD insufficiency (25OHD <50 nmol/L) and fractures, frailty and mortality

von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a bleeding disorder caused by inherited defects in the concentration, structure, or function of von Willebrand factor (VWF). VWD is classified into three primary categories. Type 1 includes partial quantitative deficiency, type 2 includes qualitative defects, and type 3 includes virtually complete deficiency of VWF. VWD type 2 is divided into four secondary categori

Popular Abstract in Swedish Varje dag bildas ca 10^12 nya blodceller i människokroppen. Denna enorma produktion av celler utgår från benmärgen och pågår under hela vårt liv. Ytterst sett är denna process beroende av en till antalet liten cellpopulation av sk blodstamceller eller hematopoietiska stamceller. Den enorma potential som vilar i detta system illustreras av det faktum att en enda blodstamHematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) reside in the bone marrow (BM) of adult individuals and are ultimately responsible for the continuous production of blood cells throughout life. The regulation of HSCs in vivo is tightly regulated by both intrinsic and extrinsic factors.

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Liver tight junctions (TJs) establish tissue barriers that isolate bile from the blood circulation. TJP2/ZO-2-inactivating mutations cause progressive cholestatic liver disease in humans. Since the underlying mechanisms remain elusive, we characterized mice with liver-specific inactivation of Tjp2.METHODS: Tjp2 was deleted in hepatocytes, cholangiocytes, or both. Effects on
