11. Homozygosity for a GRIK2 deletion-inversion mutation is associated with nonsyndromic autosomal recessive mental retardation.12. Modern day SNP arrays are used to survey the genome and identify large regions of homozygosity . 13. This can be accomplished by plotting a cumulative LOD score alongside the overlaid blocks of homozygosity . 14. The North-South differences were likely maintained by the relatively strong homozygosity than Catholics or Protestants. 15. By inbreeding, individuals are further decreasing genetic variation by increasing homozygosity in the genomes of their offspring. 16. This process leads to genome wide homozygosity , expression of deleterious recessive alleles and often to developmental abnormalities. 17. This finding in humans confirmed a previously-observed experiment in an animal model of CCR5 ?32 homozygosity . 18. Automixis with terminal fusion tends to promote homozygosity in the passage of the genome from mother to daughter. 19. The effort is not aimed at eradicating the hereditary traits, but rather at the occurrence of homozygosity . 20. Inbreeding depression increases genetic incompatibilities, levels of homozygosity , and the chance of expression of deleterious recessive alleles.
