The authors suggest that other genetic factors also determine the time until ejaculation, and are continuing to investigate the role of 5-HT receptors and metabolic pathways in the regulation of ...

A research team has recently constructed a global polymorphism genetic map of variable number tandem repeats (VNTRs), termed the NyuWa VNTR Polymorphism Map. The team has generated maps using high ...

Balancing selection, in contrast to directional selection, maintains genetic polymorphism in populations. For example, if heterozygotes at a locus have higher fitness than homozygotes (a scenario ...

Genetic drift may also have helped isolate ... protect against TB isn't known. Balanced polymorphism may explain why cystic fibrosis is so common- the anatomical defect that underlies CF protects ...

Research Interests: The research in my lab involves using measured single nucleotide polymorphism as well as sequencing data to gain insight into the genetic architecture of psychiatric disorders; and ...

A genetic causal link between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and an increased risk of traumatic and osteoporotic fractures ...

This study also identified a potential novel single-nucleotide polymorphism linked to an elevated risk for the retina condition. Researchers conducted a cross-sectional retrospective analysis ...
