FindingIKKgamma Posted March 3, 2015 Share Posted March 3, 2015 (edited) I'm compiling a project on ICF and Rett syndromes. At the moment I'm having a little trouble finding statistics for the rough number of live births and average life expectancy. Any help and links to sources would be greatly appreciated.

Zwirko Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man) might be a good resource. For example, on Rett syndrome, population genetics section it says: Hagberg (1985) estimated the frequency of Rett syndrome to be about 1 in 15,000 in southwestern Sweden. Among girls aged 0 to 18 years in North Dakota, Burd et al. (1991) found the frequency of Rett syndrome to be 1 in 19,786. Miyamoto et al. (1997) quoted data suggesting that Rett syndrome has a frequency of 1 in 20,000 girls in metropolitan Tokyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
animodel123 Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 DNA methylation is an important epigenetic modification for genomic regulation in higher organisms that plays a crucial role in the initiation and progression of diseases. The integration and mining of DNA methylation data by methylation-specific PCR and genome-wide profiling technology could greatly assist the discovery of novel candidate disease biomarkers. However, this is difficult without a comprehensive DNA methylation repository of human diseases. Here is a human disease methylation database (http://bioinfo.hrbmu.edu.cn/diseasemeth). Hope you can find what you need here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
