Abstract:
The present thesis covers two aspects of statistical analysis applied to the genetics of human diseases. First, the significance of LOD-score results for the confirmation of linkage is addressed, with special emphasis on small pedigrees. A new analytical approach is presented for the linkage analysis of heterogenetic traits, using hereditary spastic paraplegia as a model, a disease well suited for the analyses. The critical significance values for confirmation of linkage are evaluated using Bayesian statistics, and empirical P-values for LOD score results are calculated using computer simulati

Abstract:
During the last two decades, genotyping technology has advanced rapidly, which enabled the tremendous success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in the search of disease susceptibility loci (DSLs). However, only a small fraction of the overall predicted heritability can be explained by the DSLs discovered. One possible explanation for this ”missing heritability” phenomenon is that many causal variants are rare. The recent development of high-throughput next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology provides the instrument to look closely at these rare variants with precision and efficiency

Abstract:
Three approaches to understanding peripheral pain pathways are described in this thesis. Cre-loxP technology has been used to delete genes specifically in specialised sensory neurons that respond to tissue damage (nociceptors). The sodium channel selective Nav1.8 promoter is used to drive Cre expression. I used a mouse expressing diphtheria toxin A-chain downstream of a floxed stop signal, crossed with the Nayl.8Cre mouse to delete all cells expressing this channel. This lead to massive cell loss of nociceptive neurons, associated with altered pain behaviour. The mice lost cold, mechanical and

Abstract:
The genetic basis of phenotypes that have contributed to the adaptation of species and organisms to new environments is a central question in evolutionary genetics. The recent accumulation of genetic variability data has allowed a genome-wide search for different signatures of positive selection which has led to the discovery of hundreds of putative candidate genes that may have played a role in adaptation. However, such hypothesis-free approaches do not reveal either causal variants or the actual biological mechanisms that have made each adaptation possible. Furthermore, the detection o
