Disease relevance of Gene Frequency

  • The ability to detect zeta-globin chains may be useful in populations in which the gene frequency of the greater than 17.5-kb deletion is high, for screening couples at risk of having offspring with homozygous alpha-thalassemia [1].
  • The HindIII PgR gene RFLP did not display typical mendelian distribution in the breast tumors; the factors affecting the HindIII allele frequencies are presently unknown [2].
  • RESULTS: Only the B1 receptor promoter polymorphism (G-699-->C) exhibited a significantly different allele frequency between the two groups (prevalence of the C allele of 5.7% in patients with IBD compared with 33.6% in controls; P = 0.0002) or between the controls and either etiologic subgroup (ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease) [3].
  • The gene frequency for slow and fast electrophoretic variants of complement C3 in Caucasian individuals with cystic fibrosis was similar to the values expected for unaffected controls, thereby ruling out a suspected differential involvement of these phenotypes with the disease [4].
  • Estimates of the gene frequency of BRCA1 and its contribution to breast and ovarian cancer incidence [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Gene Frequency

 

High impact information on Gene Frequency

  • The mutations show a combined allele frequency of approximately 4% in populations of European ancestry, explaining the high incidence of ichthyosis vulgaris [11].
  • Human population studies have revealed extremely high allele frequencies for several different pyrin mutations, leading to the conclusion that the mutant alleles confer a selective advantage [12].
  • Here we show that a mutant allele of CCR-5 is present at a high frequency in caucasian populations (allele frequency, 0.092), but is absent in black populations from Western and Central Africa and Japanese populations [13].
  • DATA SOURCES--We considered data from all published reports of DRD2 allele frequency in alcoholics, controls, or both [14].
  • No significant differences in either D2/Taq I or PCR-SSCP allele frequencies were observed between alcoholics, subpopulations of alcoholics, or controls [15].

Gene context of Gene Frequency

  • The allele frequency of the APOE-epsilon 4 in 30 random affected patients, each from a different Alzheimer disease family, was 0.50 +/- 0.06; the allele frequency of APOE-epsilon 4 in 91 age-matched unrelated controls was 0.16 +/- 0.03 (Z = 2.44, P = 0.014) [35].
  • However, IFNA2 is the only locus that has been carefully analyzed concerning gene frequency, and only naturally occurring rare alleles have been found [36].
  • The PRB2/1 gene is relatively frequent in several populations of unrelated individuals, including American blacks (n = 41), American Utah whites (n = 76), and mainland Chinese (n = 131), with gene frequencies of .22, .06, and .09, respectively [37].
  • Comparisons of gene frequencies in ALL case and control patients showed similar frequencies (54% vs 53% GSTM1 null in whites, P =.9; 40% versus 32% in blacks, P =.45; 16% versus 15% GSTT1 null in whites, P =.8; 17% versus 28% in blacks, P =.3) [38].
  • The LIPC -514C allele frequency was 0.516 (blacks) and 0.796 (whites) [39].
