Cough is dangerous : neural correlates of implicit body symptoms associations

2016

The negative interpretation of body sensations (e.g., as sign of a severe illness) is a crucial cognitive process in pathological health anxiety (HA). However, little is known about the nature and the degree of automaticity of this interpretation bias. We applied an implicit association test (IAT) in 20 subjects during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to investigate behavioral and neural correlates of implicit attitudes towards symptom words. On the behavioral level, body symptom words elicited strong negative implicit association effects, as indexed by slowed reaction times when symptom words were paired with the attribute harmless (incongruent condition) relative to a control …

L'accumulation des protéines dans les graines de légumineuses

2017

The agroecological benefits of legumes and the renewed interest in the consumption of vegetable proteins stimulate researches on cognitive and applied aspects of seed biology aiming at optimizing protein composition of legume seeds. This article presents the state of knowledge on the genetic and environmental control of the accumulation of major proteins found in legume seeds, with a view to developing varieties with improved nutritional seed quality. It also shows how high-throughput genomics and post-genomics data, along with translational research aiming at transferring knowledge between model and crop species, can accelerate the identification of genes controlling the accumulation of st…

Longitudinal associations between teacher-child interactions and academic skills in elementary school

2017

This study examined the extent to which the quality of teacher-child interactions assessed in kindergarten (6-year-olds) is associated with children's reading and math development across the elementary school years. The sample consisted of 515 Finnish children (271 boys, 244 girls). Teacher-child interactions were observed in 49 kindergarten classrooms. The findings from the latent growth curve models showed that high-quality teacher–child interactions in kindergarten were positively associated with the initial levels of reading and math skills. Furthermore, the results indicated that high-quality teacher-child interactions in kindergarten were positively associated with children's academic…

Uwarunkowania funkcjonowania czasopisma Towarzystwa Ziemi Kozielskiej w społeczności lokalnej pogranicza etniczno-kulturowego

2017

Artykuł podejmuje temat funkcjonowania czasopisma regionalnego o nastawieniu naukowym w środowisku nowo powstałej po II wojnie światowej zbiorowości miejskiej. Środowisko miejskie składa się z przedstawicieli różnych grup regionalnych i etnicznych, które w powiązaniu z robotniczym charakterem miasta nie sprzyjało inicjatywom z pogranicza kultury symbolicznej i nauki. „Szkice Kędzierzyńsko-Kozielskie” stały się czasopismem odzwierciedlającym w ostatnim trzydziestoleciu wydarzenia w mieście i losy jego mieszkańców. Zastosowana analiza zawartości treści pozwoliła na ustalenie tematyki i ilości tekstów w nim publikowanych oraz środowiska osób piszących. Towarzystwo regionalne przejęło rolę ośro…

Common variants at VRK2 and TCF4 conferring risk of schizophrenia

2011

To access publisher full text version of this article. Please click on the hyperlink in Additional Links field. Common sequence variants have recently joined rare structural polymorphisms as genetic factors with strong evidence for association with schizophrenia. Here we extend our previous genome-wide association study and meta-analysis (totalling 7 946 cases and 19 036 controls) by examining an expanded set of variants using an enlarged follow-up sample (up to 10 260 cases and 23 500 controls). In addition to previously reported alleles in the major histocompatibility complex region, near neurogranin (NRGN) and in an intron of transcription factor 4 (TCF4), we find two novel variants show…

Genomic diversity and population structure analysis reveal few genetic differences among Ethiopian indigenous sheep populations

2017

African sheep, like other domestic sheep, are domesticated from the Asiatic mouflon (Ovis orientalis). They entered the continent through the North and the Horn of Africa regions following maritime and terrestrial trading routes. Ethiopia is one of the main entry points of various plant and animal domesticates into Africa. It is characterised by diverse agro-ecologies, ancient human ethnic diversity and the presence of indigenous sheep breeds/populations of unprecedented morphological diversity (e.g. tail types). Here, we investigate the genome diversity and population structure of 146 unrelated animals from 11 Ethiopian indigenous sheep populations. DNA was extracted from ear tissue punche…

Large-scale genotyping identifies 41 new loci associated with breast cancer risk

2013

Journal article Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Common variants at 27 loci have been identified as associated with susceptibility to breast cancer, and these account for ~9% of the familial risk of the disease. We report here a meta-analysis of 9 genome-wide association studies, including 10,052 breast cancer cases and 12,575 controls of European ancestry, from which we selected 29,807 SNPs for further genotyping. These SNPs were genotyped in 45,290 cases and 41,880 controls of European ancestry from 41 studies in the Breast Cancer Association Consortium (BCAC). The SNPs were genotyped as part of a collaborative genotyping experiment involving four consortia (Collaborat…

Variants in ZFHX3 are associated with atrial fibrillation in individuals of European ancestry

2009

We conducted meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for atrial fibrillation (AF) in participants from five community-based cohorts. Meta-analyses of 896 prevalent (15,768 referents) and 2,517 incident (21,337 referents) AF cases identified a novel locus for AF (ZFHX3, rs2106261, risk ratio [RR]=1.19; P=2.3×10−7), an association that was replicated in the German AF Network (odds ratio=1.44; P=1.6×10−11). Combining the discovery and replication results, rs2106261 was significantly associated with AF (RR=1.25; P=1.8×10−15).
