Abstract:

A longitudinal study of 43 families referred to a Clinical Genetic Service was undertaken to ascertain the needs and expectations of the service, from the client's perspective. Previous studies have mainly focussed on changes in knowledge or reproductive patterns as outcomes for genetic counselling. Clients were interviewed before contact with the genetic service, after the consultation, and six months later. At each interview, psychological questionnaires to assess Need for Cognitive Closure (Webster & Kruglanski, 1994), anxiety (Spielberger et aI, 1970) and the impact of the genetic conditio

Abstract:

Diabetes mellitus represents a group of metabolic disorders caused by both environmental and genetic factors. The two most common forms of diabetes are type 2 diabetes (T2D) and type 1 diabetes (T1D). T2D is associated with obesity and the disease is caused by insulin resistance and pancreatic b-cell dysfunction. T1D is an autoimmune disease in which the insulin- producing b-cells in the pancreas are destroyed by infiltration of lymphocytes. The aim of this thesis was to identify genes conferring susceptibility to diabetes. This was approached using genetic methods, both linkage and associatio

Abstract:

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex multifactorial disorder driven by both genetic and environmental factors. The rapid increase of T2D in Qatar -prevalence of 16.3% in 2014 according to the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) - motivated the introduction of genetic studies among this under-presented population. Major progress to study the genetic basis of T2D came from studying common variants. However, these variants were of mild effect sizes. Studies have been shifted from applying the common variants hypothesis towards the investigation of other genetic variables including rare variants

Abstract:

Cardiomyopathies are the leading cause of heart transplantation in the developed world, and dilated cardiomyopathy accounts for an important proportion of all heart failure cases in large clinical trials. In spite of a strong genetic basis for dilated cardiomyopathy being demonstrated widely in the past two decades, 60% of familial cases remain unexplained. Dilated cardiomyopathy is characterized by marked genetic heterogeneity, with more than 60 individual genes reported to cause the disease, yet only one (TTN) explaining more than 10% of cases.

Abstract:

Intellectual disability (ID) is devastating condition which is defined using three criteria: reduced intellectual ability, deficit in two or more adaptive behaviours, and diagnosis before the age of 18 years. ID can have various causes, but genetic factors are thought to be responsible for up to 50% of cases. ID is a heterogeneous and complex disorder, and more than 800 genes have been implicated in its pathology. Schizophrenia (SZ) is another complex neurodevelopmental condition that also affects the brain and has a partially overlapping genetic basis with ID. This thesis describes work carri

Abstract:

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2C (CMT2C) is an autosomal dominant neuropathy characterized by limb, diaphragm, and laryngeal muscle weakness. We studied five unrelated families with CMT2C, of which two showed significant linkage to chromosome 12q24.11. Linkage analysis excluded this locus in one of the remaining families, suggesting genetic heterogeneity within this CMT subtype. SNP genotyping of samples from affected individuals in the three linked families did not reveal any deletion or copy number variation. All genes in this region were sequenced and two heterozygous missense mutations

Abstract:

<p>Traditionally in human genetic linkage analysis, extended families were only used in the analysis of dichotomous traits, such as Disease/No Disease. For quantitative traits, analyses initially focused on data from family trios (for example, mother, father, and child) or sib-pairs. Recently however, there have been two very important developments in genetics: It became clear that if the disease status of several generations of a family is known and their genetic information is obtained, researchers can pinpoint which pieces of genetic material are linked to the disease or trait.

Abstract:

Neurogenetic studies have revolutionised our understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of inherited neurological disorders, primarily as a result of the identification of single disease-causing genes. The incidence of such disorders is increased amongst populations with common shared ancestry or a high rate of consanguinity. Hence, the investigation of inherited neurological conditions in genetic isolates provides a robust opportunity to define the molecular pathogenic basis of these conditions. Neurological and neurodevelopmental disorders present important public health issues in the

Preterm birth, defined as birth prior to 37 completed weeks gestation, is a serious health concern.

In 2006, Menon and associates reported the first multilocus genetic interaction in three single nucleotide polymorphisms predictive of spontaneous preterm birth in a population of White mothers. A gene association study using a case-control design was conducted to determine whether the results of the Menon study were also true for Black women a

Whilst these features usually are very prominent in homozygotes the clinical diagnosis of heterozygotes is complicated by variable phenotypic expression.

The data presented in this thesis demonstrates that 60.0% of the morphologically normal samples from women at high risk for breast cancer showed genomic copy number aberrations by CGH.

These were gains on 1p, 9p, 16p 16q and 19. The presence of these aberrations suggests that morphologically normal epithelial cells analysed from these cases have a degree of genomic instability.
