Sibling similarity can reveal key insights into genetic architecture by Tade Souaiaia, Hei Man Wu, Clive Hoggart, Paul F O'Reilly

“…Here, we utilise siblings for a novel application: the inference of genetic architecture, specifically that relating to individuals with extreme trait values (e.g. in the top 1%). Inferring the genetic architecture most relevant to this group of individuals is important because they are at the greatest risk of disease and may be more likely to harbour rare variants of large effect due to natural selection. …”

Progress on effects of BaP exposure on female reproductive system and pathogenic mechanisms by Qianqian GAO, Xiaoling FENG

“…Studies have shown that BaP is reproductively toxic and is involved in diseases related to the female reproductive system by affecting the secretion of ovarian hormones, interfering with the function of ovarian mitochondria (affecting oocyte maturation), affecting embryo development (interfering with the migration of trophoblast cells, invasion, proliferation, apoptosis) and the process of metaplasia. …”
