A genome-wide linkage scan of familial benign recurrent vertigo: linkage to 22q12 with evidence of heterogeneity.

Hane Lee Jen, Jc Wang, H Chen, Z Mamsa, H Sabatti, C Baloh, Rw Stanley F. Nelson

Benign recurrent vertigo (BRV) is a common disorder affecting up to 2% of the adult population and may be etiologically related to migraine because of similarities in the clinical spectrum of the phenotypes and a high co-morbidity within families. Many families have multiple-affected genetically related individuals suggesting familial transmission ...

A genome-wide scan for common alleles affecting risk for autism.

Published in Human Molecular Genetics

Although autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) have a substantial genetic basis, most of the known genetic risk has been traced to rare variants, principally copy number variants (CNVs). To identify common risk variation, the Autism Genome Project (AGP) Consortium genotyped 1558 rigorously defined ASD families for 1 million single-nucleotide polymorphis...

High density SNP association study of a major autism linkage region on chromosome 17.

Stone, Jl Merriman, B Cantor, Rm Geschwind, Dh Stanley F. Nelson

Published in Human Molecular Genetics

A region on chromosome 17 has recently been highlighted as linked to autism (MIM[209850]) in multiple studies and evidence has accumulated suggesting that male-only families (those families that have produced only affected males) provide the major contribution to linkage at this locus. In an attempt to comprehensively test for association of common...
