Individuals vary in their ability to respond to and metabolize drugs, another effect of SNP variation. Several inherited differences in SNPs that are important in drug response are, in fact ...

Genetic variation among human races can be observed ... In terms of this study, a low F ST value for a SNP can be interpreted to mean that individuals from the subpopulation tend to share alleles ...

QUT scientists have uncovered functionality of a genetic variant in the prostate specific antigen (PSA) gene to improve the current diagnostic test to help distinguish aggressive from non-aggressive ...

Thus, there are regions of small and/or common CNV in the genome that have not been investigated for association with disease and may act in a similar manner to SNP variation. On the other hand ...

First author on the QUT-led, multinational study published in Nature Communications, Brisbane’s Translational Research Institute-based Dr Srilakshmi Srinivasan, from QUT’s School of Biomedical ...
