20102009 Summary:
In this project, the ancestry and history of the Aboriginal populations of the NWT will be explored through the analysis of genetic diversity in these communities. Through this DNA analysis, the origin and diversity of these aboriginal people will be investigated and their relationship to other aboriginal peoples of Canada and Alaska will be assessed. Overall, this approach will generate new insi...

Summary:
We plan to study Bardet-Biedl families (with at least 2 affected children) in order to determine if and how the disease is genetically linked. By following the inheritance of a DNA marker in affected families, it is possible to determine whether the disease is gene genetically linked to the DNA marker. A systematic screening of DNA markers (that are distributed over the 22 chromosomes) should th...

Summary:
DNA (hereditary material) will be isolated from blood cells normally thrown away after plasma tests at Stanton Yellowknife Hospital. The names will be unknown. Results will be added to an existing data bank which includes DNA information on Inuit, Caucasian, Oriental and other cultural groups. This information can be used to study events such as the migration of Inuit or to compare the evolution o...
