Incomplete Dominance

30.6K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants

31
The human genome is over 99.9% identical between individuals, yet genetic differences exist at millions of bases. The human genome contains approximately 3 million variant positions per individual, many of which are heterozygous, contributing to genetic diversity and individual traits. Genetic variations include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs).SNPs, the most common variation, involve single-base changes in DNA. These can be...

Alternative RNA Splicing

25.4K
Alternative RNA splicing is the regulated splicing of exons and introns to produce different mature mRNAs from a single pre-mRNA. Unlike in constitutive splicing where a single gene produces a single type of mRNA, alternative splicing allows an organism to produce multiple proteins from a single gene and plays an important role in protein diversity.
There are five types of alternative RNA splicing that vary in the ways the pre-mRNA segments are removed or retained in the mature mRNA. The first...

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Human Phenotypes
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Identifying rare variants is key to linking genes with human phenotypes.
  • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have implicated numerous loci in hematopoiesis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the association between rare coding or splice site variants and hematological traits.
  • To identify novel genetic variants influencing blood cell phenotypes.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 137,086 rare coding/splice site variants (MAF <1%) in up to 308,572 participants.
  • Statistical association testing for 15 hematological traits.
  • Prioritization of causal genes at GWAS loci.

Main Results:

  • Identified 56 rare variants associated with hematological traits (P<5x10-8).
  • Discovered 31 novel variants, including an IL33 variant linked to reduced eosinophils and lower asthma risk, and a PLG variant associated with increased platelet count.
  • Confirmed that most new variants map to known hematopoiesis loci.

Conclusions:

  • Large-scale analysis of rare variants effectively prioritizes causal genes for complex traits.
  • Rare variants provide valuable insights into the genetic architecture of hematopoiesis and related diseases.
