Is the inheritance of glomerulosclerosis in mice controlled by multiple quantitative trait loci?
Our data show that glomerulosclerosis is inherited in a recessive fashion involving at least 8-10 loci.
Injury researchers have advocated the linkage of major datasets to supplement and improve the quality of injury data. Using capture-recapture we found that routine databases enumerate TRI fatalities accurately, in contrast to injury morbidity databases that do not. Capture-recapture is a potentially useful method of evaluating the completeness of data sources and identifying biases within datasets. However, ascertainment corrected rates should be viewed with caution. A number of requirements of the capture-recapture technique are unachieved in this study of injury in the human population.
