Disease relevance of Genetic Research

Hereditary spastic paraplegia: advances in genetic research. Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Working group [1].
Molecular biology as a tool for genetic research in hypertension: application to the renin gene [2].
Recent advances in genetic research have identified the genes underlying the primary defects in several common skeletal dysplasias such as achondroplasia and diastrophic dysplasia [3].

Psychiatry related information on Genetic Research

Conversely, studies of lithium responsive patients and their families can assist genetic research of bipolar disorder [4].
Individual differences in sensitivity to nicotine: implications for genetic research on nicotine dependence [5].

High impact information on Genetic Research

AAAS conference explores ethical aspects of large pedigree genetic research [6].
In recent years a great deal of biochemical and genetic research has focused on the C-terminal domain (CTD) of the largest subunit (RPB1) of DNA-dependent RNA polymerase II [7].
INTRODUCTION: Past research has shown substantial genetic influence on bone quality, and the impact of reduced bone mass on our aging population has heightened the interest in skeletal genetic research [8].
Evidence Acquisition: Evidence from experimental, clinical, and genetic research supporting the hypothesis for the fetal origins of PCOS has been analyzed [9].
Genetic research into the inherited multiple form, hereditary multiple exostoses, has revealed a new family of tumour suppressor genes denoted EXT [10].

Biological context of Genetic Research

Genetic research has located the DM gene to chromosome 19 [11].
Genomics Collaborative, Inc., a division of Sera Care Life Sciences, Inc. (Cambridge, MA), is among the first commercial entities in the world to enable genetic research on an industrial scale via its Large Scale Global Repository, a biobank of human specimens collected for research purposes [12].

Anatomical context of Genetic Research

Several recent reviews have provided a comprehensive discussion of biochemical, cellular, and genetic research on E2A function in lymphocyte development (1,2) [13].

Associations of Genetic Research with chemical compounds

Defining nicotine dependence for genetic research: evidence from Australian twins [14].
Serotonin type 1(A) receptors and the serotonin transporters are reduced in depression, and recent genetic research in animals and humans has implicated both in depression [15].
The intensified genetic research in the lactic acid streptococci and the development of gene cloning systems for these organisms have resulted in a rapid increase of genetic data on lactic streptococcal proteinases [16].
The catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) gene has been a promising candidate in genetic research on schizophrenia because of its function in dopamine metabolism and its location on chromosome 22q11.2, which may be implicated in both schizophrenia and velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS) [17].
Genetic research of cocaine abuse has been relatively limited among the African-American population [18].

Gene context of Genetic Research

CONCLUSION: Although further genetic research should be conducted, it is suggested that the CTR genetic test could become a useful tool in the planning of treatment before implant surgery and lead to more predictable implant treatment [19].
Biochemical markers and genetic research of ADHD [20].
The gene involved has been characterized only for two of such loci, IDDM1 and IDDM2, while in the other cases the presence of some susceptibility genes can be envisaged and their identification represents the goal of genetic research in coming years [21].
The determination of COMT in hair root cells offers a further application of this source in genetic research, as in the study of a correlation between COMT activity and various endogenous psychiatric disorders [22].
The use of persons who become alcoholic despite having a well-defined negative risk for alcoholism (inactive aldehyde dehydrogenase-2 or ALDH2) is advantageous in genetic research because of this population's reduced heterogeneity and possible genetic factors conferring susceptibility to alcohol dependence [23].
