Department of Genetics and Evolution, La Trobe University, Bundoora, Victoria 3083 Australia
Mol Ecol 9:1339-47. 2000..Similarly, the contingent of individuals attending a nest were generally close relatives of the young they were aiding, supporting models invoking kin selection as the selective agency mediating helping...
A known polymorphism in the bile salt export pump gene is not a risk allele for intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancyJ N Painter
, Biomedicum Helsinki, Haartmaninkatu 8, P.O. Box 63, University of Helsinki, Finland
Scand J Gastroenterol 39:694-5. 2004
Sequence variation in the ATP8B1 gene and intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancyJodie N Painter
Folkhalsan Institute of Genetics, Biomedicum Helsinki, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Eur J Hum Genet 13:435-9. 2005..In conclusion, although the exon 2 and 7 changes may have functioned as risk alleles, ATP8B1 is probably not a major gene contributing to the occurrence of ICP...
A 4-bp deletion in the Birt-Hogg-Dubé gene (FLCN) causes dominantly inherited spontaneous pneumothoraxJodie N Painter
Folkhalsan Institute of Genetics, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Am J Hum Genet 76:522-7. 2005..Additionally, given the strong association of PSP and BHD, the connection between these conditions needs to be investigated further, particularly in patients with familial PSP, who may be at a greater risk of developing renal cancer...
Sex chromosome characteristics and recurrent miscarriageMilja Kaare
Folkhalsan Institute of Genetics, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland
Fertil Steril 90:2328-33. 2008..To investigate whether skewed X chromosome inactivation (XCI) and Y chromosome microdeletions are associated with recurrent miscarrige (RM)...
Variations of the Amnionless gene in recurrent spontaneous abortionsMilja Kaare
Folkhalsan Institute of Genetics, University of Helsinki, Finland
Mol Hum Reprod 12:25-9. 2006..In addition, birthplaces of the patients' ancestors revealed some clustering, suggesting that some patients may carry a founder mutation in another gene which may contribute to RSA...
Ural owl sex allocation and parental investment under poor food conditionsJon E Brommer
Department of Ecology and Systematics, Bird Ecology Unit, University of Helsinki, Viikinkaari 1, P O Box 65, 00014 Helsinki, Finland
Oecologia 137:140-7. 2003..We discuss, in relation to published studies, the possibility of a sex-allocation scenario where, under poor food conditions, a daughter's long-term fitness is reduced more than a son's...
Study of p53 gene mutations and placental expression in recurrent miscarriage casesMilja Kaare
Folkhalsan Institute of Genetics, University of Helsinki, PO Box 63, 00014 Helsinki, Finland
Reprod Biomed Online 18:430-5. 2009..Further studies are, however, necessary to define whether the intronic polymorphism has functional consequences. The immunohistochemical staining of placental tissues revealed no abnormal p53 expression patterns in the samples studied...
