Genetic Architecture of Knee Radiographic Joint Space in Healthy Young Adults (2008)

Dana L. Duren, Richard J. Sherwood, Stefan A. Czerwinski, William Cameron Chumlea, Miryoung Lee, Ellen W. Demerath, ...

Evidence of a significant genetic component to the age-related degenerative joint disease osteoarthritis has been established, but the nature of genetic influences on normal joint morphology in...

Heritability of Brachydactyly Type A3 in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults from an Endogamous Population in Eastern Nepal (2007)

Kimberly D. Williams, John Blangero, Carol R. Cottom, Sharon Lawrence, Audrey C. Choh, Stefan A. Czerwinski, ...

Brachymesophalangia-V (BMP-V), a short and broad middle phalanx of the fifth digit, is the most common of all skeletal anomalies of the hand. When this feature appears alone, it is clinically known...

Radiographic Joint Space of the Knee in Healthy Young Adults (2006)

Dana L. Duren, Richard J. Sherwood, W. Cameron Chumlea, Roger M. Siervogel, Bradford Towne

The primary objective of this study was to characterize normal variation in radiographic joint space of the knee in a large sample of healthy young adults and to identify factors that contribute to...

A Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) on Chromosome 6q Influences Birth Weight in Two Independent Family Studies (2006)

Arya, Rector, Demerath, Ellen, Jenkinson, Christopher P., Göring, Harald HH, Puppala, Sobha, Farook, Vidya, ...

Low birth weight is an important cause of infant mortality and morbidity worldwide. Birth weight has been shown to be inversely correlated with adult complex diseases such as obesity, type 2...

The case for strategic international alliances to harness nutritional genomics for public and personal health (2005)

Kaput, Jim, Ordovas, José, Ferguson, Lynnette, Van Ommen, Ben, Rodríguez, Raymond, Allen, Lindsay, ...

Nutrigenomics is the study of how constituents of the diet interact with genes, and their products, to alter phenotype and, conversely, how genes and their products metabolise these constituents into...

Genetic and State Variables of Neurocognitive Dysfunction in Schizophrenia: A Twin Study (2000)

Pardo, Patricia J., Knesevich, Mary Ann, Vogler, George P., Pardo, José V., Towne, Bradford, Cloninger, C. Robert, ...

The development of sex differences in digital formula from infancy in the Fels Longitudinal Study

McIntyre, Matthew H, Ellison, Peter T, Lieberman, Daniel E, Demerath, Ellen, Towne, Bradford

Relative finger lengths, especially the second-to-fourth finger length ratio, have been proposed as useful markers for prenatal testosterone action. This claim partly depends on an association of...

A Genomewide Linkage Scan for Quantitative Trait Loci Influencing the Craniofacial Complex in Baboons (Papio hamadryas spp.)

Sherwood, Richard J., Duren, Dana L., Havill, Lorena M., Rogers, Jeff, Cox, Laura A., Towne, Bradford, ...

Numerous studies have detected significant contributions of genes to variation in development, size, and shape of craniofacial traits in a number of vertebrate taxa. This study examines 43...
