Exploring the potential relevance of human-specific genes to complex disease.

Human genomics - 1 Jan 2011

Cooper David N, Kehrer-Sawatzki Hildegard

Abstract excerpt

Although human disease genes generally tend to be evolutionarily more ancient than non-disease genes, complex disease genes appear to be represented more frequently than Mendelian disease genes among genes of more recent evolutionary origin. It is therefore proposed that the analysis of human-specific genes might provide new insights into the genetics of complex disease. Cross-comparison with the Human Gene...
