[GHD Membership Roster] [GHD Meeting Rosters]
The GHD Study Section will review applications involving the discovery, application and interpretation of genetic and genomic variation in human phenotype and disease. Specific areas are:
- Discovery of genes and genetic variation for human health, disease, and disease susceptibility: Complex and Mendelian diseases such as psychiatric, neurological, ophthalmological, auditory, endocrinological, cardiovascular, developmental, reproductive, oncological, autoimmune, urological, respiratory; use of sophisticated genetic and genomic methods to identify candidate genes, single nucleotide polymorphisms, haplotypes, and copy number variation.
- Gene discovery and functional analysis using animal and cellular (human and animal) models: Development of explicit models of human genetic disease using vertebrate animals such as mice, rats, dogs, and non-human primates; use of models for studies of candidate genes and their functional analysis, pathogenetics, positional cloning, quantitative loci.
- Epigenetics and disease: Abnormalities in imprinting or X inactivation that lead to disease; gene and environmental interactions, or maternal genotypes that lead to epigenetic changes and disease; variation in epigenetic marks, non-coding RNAs, and epigenome mapping.
- Cytogenetics and disease: Chromosomal and genomic disorders, aneuploidy, translocations, mosaicism, chimerism, dosage effects.
