Abstract:

Vaccination is one of the most efficacious public health interventions1 and has been increasingly used to combat non-infectious diseases. Mechanisms underlying vaccine responses overlap with those regulating immune responses in health and disease. Therefore, an understanding of mechanisms underpinning these responses will have broad implications. Variation in immune response genes contributes to impaired vaccine responses2-4. Understanding the contribution of genetic variants to vaccine responses is likely to be particularly important in early life given the generalized functional immaturity o

Abstract:

Epigenetic mechanisms respond to both genetic and environmental factors, but these underlying effects are not yet fully characterized or completely understood. In this thesis I used twins as a tool for evaluating the effect of genetic and environmental impacts on DNA methylation, a well-known epigenetic mechanism. DNA methylation was studied on a genome-wide scale in human blood samples with a combination of bioinformatics, computational, and statistical approaches. First, genetic influences on DNA methylation profiles were assessed by estimation of the heritability of DNA methylation and iden

The present thesis is based on four studies focusing on alcohol consumption among Swedish adolescents, and therewith related psychosocial and genetic factors. One main objective was to study the reasons for drinking alcohol among different population - representative samples of adolescents in order to identify motives for drinking. Relationships between these drinking motives, alcohol consumption, and alcohol - related problems were also investigated. Three motives emerged from this study: social - enhancement, coping and dominance. The association with alcohol consumption and alcohol - relate

Sweden and Norway have the worldwide highest incidence of osteoporotic fractures. As these fractures constitute a tremendous and growing problem, primary prevention is of great importance.

Abstract:

The burying beetle (Nicrophorus vespilloides) has unusually highly developed parental care; parents prepare and maintain a food resource (thereby providing indirect parental care), feed through direct provisioning by regurgitation, and protect their larvae. Parental care is highly variable and can be uniparental female care, uniparental male care, or biparental. There are genetic components to the parenting behaviour of the burying beetle, the amount of direct and indirect care given, and the size of the brood are heritable and therefore genetic traits.

Data from a British birth cohort of 2402 families with infant twins (Gemini) were used to explore associations between appetite and weight, assess genetic influences on appetite, and examine shared genetic pathways underlying appetite and weight.

Abstract:

Decades of work has led researchers to believe that risk for complex behavioral phenotypes, such as alcohol use disorders, is likely influenced by multiple genes of small effect acting in conjunction with each other and the environment. Currently, the field of psychiatric genetics is developing methodologies for the identification of genetic risk variants that predispose individuals to the development of complex behavioral disorders. Several challenges related to the complex and polygenic nature of these phenotypes, must be considered. This dissertation study attempts to address these importan

Abstract:

To understand the etiology of psychopathic personality traits and thus in the long run to be able to develop successful prevention, a first step is to find out what role genetic and environmental effects play. A meta-review of 15 twin studies (N=26, 981), was conducted to estimate the magnitude of genetic and environmental influences on psychopathic personality traits. The results show that additive genetic (heritable) factors and non-shared environmental factors each explain 50% of the variance in psychopathic personality traits, while shared environmental factors were of no importance.

Abstract:

Asthma is a worldwide health problem and leading cause of childhood morbidity. The increasing prevalence of asthma places importance on understanding the biological mechanisms behind this complex disease. Considerable evidence suggests that asthma originates early in life. Environmental allergen exposures acting on a genetic background susceptible to asthma, may modify innate patterns of respiratory development and gene expression, facilitating the initiation of disease. The origins of asthma susceptibility and the influence of in utero allergen exposure on respiratory development were studied

Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) is the most common form of dementia, with an incidence of up to 50% in western populations over the age of 85 and a high heritability (up to 80%). The identification of risk factors for the development of LOAD is imperative for improving our understanding of this disease and for identifying therapeutic targets for treatment or prevention. Currently, the major known risk factors for the development of LOAD are age and the ApoE ε4 genotype.

The onset of senescence and the rate at which organisms age are influenced by both extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Extrinsic factors include temperature, humidity and diet. Intrinsic factors arise within an organism as a result of normal metabolism. An example is the production of free radicals, highly reactive compounds that usually arise as byproducts of normal oxidative functions. Another less commonly considered instrinsic factor is the genetic makeup of an organism.
