Computational selection and prioritization of candidate genes for Fetal Alcohol Syndrome

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a serious global health problem and is observed at high frequencies in certain South African communities. Although in utero alcohol exposure is the primary trigger, there is evidence for genetic- and other susceptibility factors in FAS development. No genome-wide association or linkage studies have been performed for FAS, making computational selection and...
