Genetic heritability of a shallow anterior chamber in Chinese families with primary angle closure glaucoma.

29 Nov 2008 PURPOSE: To explore the genetic heritability of a shallow anterior chamber (AC) in families with primary angle closure glaucoma (PACG) and to provide a theoretical basis for the identification of candidate genes responsible for PACG. METHODS: ... Read more...

Association of genetic polymorphisms at 8q24 with the risk of prostate cancer in a Japanese population.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Genetic factors, as well as a combination of environmental factors, contribute to the risk of prostate cancer (PC). Recently, genome-wide linkage studies found several independent single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that are strongly ... Read more...

Association of bone morphogenetic protein 4 gene polymorphisms with nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate in Chinese children.

30 Oct 2008 Nonsyndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (nsCL/P) is one of the most common congenital anomalies in humans. The pathogenesis of nsCL/P involves both genetic and environmental factors. On the basis of linkage data suggesting that 14q21-24 ... Read more...
