Abstract

There is a proposed method for evaluation of the minimal sample size needed for the predefined quality of the linkage decision. It is applied to samples of arbitrary structured pedigrees ascertained via proband in accordance with different ascertainment schemes. The quality of the linkage decision is determined by the I and II type errors of the likelihood ratio constructed with a simple alternative hypothesis about the recombination fraction value. Comparison of these minimal sample sizes for different ascertainment schemes leads to a possibility to choose the best of them when the model of genetic control of two traits is given. A possibility to evaluate each of these ascertainments by a cost of the sample collection and to point out the cheapest is considered.

Genetic etiologies of glaucoma.

Glaucoma can be inherited as a mendelian autosomal-dominant or autosomal-recessive trait, or as a complex multifactorial trait. Genetic approaches have helped define the underlying molecular events responsible for some mendelian forms of the disease and have identified the chromosome locations of genes that are likely to contribute to common complex forms. Future directions include the discovery of new glaucoma genes, determining the clinical phenotypes associated with specific genes and mutations, investigating environmental factors that may contribute to the disease, investigating gene-environment interactions and gene-gene interactions, and developing a mutation database that can be used for diagnostic and prognostic testing.

[Ondine syndrome or central congenital hypoventilation syndrome].

Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare disease due to a severely impaired central autonomic control of breathing and dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system. The incidence is estimated to be at 1 of 200,000 livebirths. A heterozygous mutation of PHOX-2B gene is found in 90% of the patients. Association with a Hirschsprung's disease is observed in 16% of the cases. Despite a high mortality rate and a lifelong dependence to mechanical ventilation, the long-term outcome of CCHS should be ultimately improved by multidisciplinary and coordinated follow-up of the patients.
