  • 코로나19가 창궐한 후 임상병리사(medical technologists, MT)가 병원에서 PCR 검사를 수행하고 있을 뿐만 아니라 차세대 염기서열분석(next-generation sequencing, NGS)도 수행한다는 사실을 일반적으로 알고 있다. 하지만, 많은 사람들은 유전자검사 분야에 대한 임상병리사의 업무로 의료법에 명시되어 있지 않다는 사실을 인지하지 못하고 있는 실태이다(MT 72.5%, N=200; 학생 62.8%, N=123). 이러한 이유로, NGS에 대한 임상병리사의 업무 적절성을 검증하기 위해서 온라인 설문지를 작성하도록 설계하여 설문조사 결과를 분석하였다. NGS가 포함된 유전분야에 대한 임상병리사의 업무범위에 대한 법제화가 필요하다(MT 99.5%, N=200, 학생 86.8%, N=123)고 나타났다. 그리고 임상병리사 국가면허시험 문제은행에 세포유전학 및 분자유전학 관련 임상유전학 문항이 모두 포함돼야 한다(MT 97.5%, N=200; 학생 72.3%, N=123)고 조사되었다. 이러한 조사를 바탕으로 임상병리학 분야의 발전을 위해 임상병리사와 학생 모두를 위한 유전자 교육 및 법제화를 위해 대한임상병리사협회는 교수협의회와 적극 협력할 필요가 있겠다.

  • Tetrasomy 18p is a genetic syndrome caused by an isochromosome consisting of two copies of the short arm of chromosome 18. Clinically, pediatric cases of tetrasomy 18p manifest with global developmental delay, similar to most cases of chromosomal abnormality. In addition, it causes various symptoms including abnormal muscle tone. We report a case of an infant with global developmental delay and remarkable spasticity, the typical phenotype of bilateral spastic cerebral palsy. However, she had a subtle anomaly in her face, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings were inconsistent with her strong upper motor neuron signs. Upon genetic testing, she was determined to have an 18p isochromosome, confirming de novo non-mosaic tetrasomy 18p. Cerebral palsy is a neurological disorder that includes developmental delay caused by a non-progressive lesion in the developing brain. During diagnostic workup in patients with cerebral palsy, genetic testing should be considered when there are minor physical anomalies or equivocal MRI findings.

  • Artificial neural networks (ANN) have successfully applied into various areas. But, How to effectively established network is the one of the critical problem. This study will focus on this problem and try to extensively study. Firstly, four different learning algorithms ANNs were constructed. The learning algorithms include backpropagation, simulated annealing, genetic algorithm, and tabu search. The experimental results of the above four different learning algorithms were tested by statistical analysis. The training RMS, training time, and testing RMS were used as the comparison criteria.

  • 국내 육성된 보리 품종의 유전적 다양성을 조사하기 위하여 microsatellite marker의 이용 가능성에 대한 연구를 수행하여 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 보리 70품종을 20개의 microsatellite marker를 이용하여 분석하였을 때 대립유전자의 수는 2~9개로 비교적 다양한 분포를 나타내었으며 전체 124개의 대립유전자가 분석되었다. PIC 값은 0.498~0.882 범위에 속하였으며 평균값은 0.734로 나타났다. microsatellite marker를 이용하여 작성된 보리70품종의 품종간 유전적 거리는 0.10~0.91의 범위로 나타났고, 유사도 지수 0.15를 기준으로 할 때 70개 품종은 2조 보리 그룹과 6조 보리 그룹으로 나눌 수 있었으며, 공시 품종 모두 microsatellite marker의 genotype에 의해 뚜렷이 구분되었다. 이 연구결과는 보리의 유전적 다양성 및 품종식별을 위한 기초 자료로 유용하게 이용될 수 있는 것으로 사료된다.

  • 탐색 기반 테스팅은 넓은 탐색 범위에서 효과적으로 테스트 데이터를 생성하는 대표적인 기술중 하나이다. 탐색 기반 테스팅의 성능이 프로그램의 구조적 특성에 영향을 받는 것이 알려져 있음에도 구조적 특성을 고려한 탐색 기반 테스팅 비교 연구는 제한적으로 수행되었다. 본 연구는 탐색 기반 테스팅 비교를 통해 테스트 대상의 구조적 특성 차이에 따른 최적 알고리즘을 분석하고자 한다. 실험 결과의 일반화를 위해 탐색 성능에 영향을 주는 4가지 메트릭 값을 조합하여 19,800개의 테스트 대상 프로그램을 자동 생성하였다. 실험 결과 복잡도가 높은 프로그램을 20,000번 이하의 횟수로 분석하였을 경우에는 유전 알고리즘이 가장 우수한 성능을 보였으나 50,000번 이상 분석하였을 경우에는 유전 담금질 기법과 담금질 기법이 다른 알고리즘들 보다 우수한 성능을 보였다. 복잡도가 낮은 프로그램에서는 유전 담금질 기법, 담금질 기법, 언덕 오르기 방법이 다른 알고리즘들 보다 우수한 성능을 보였다.

  • A sample size with sufficient statistical power is critical to the success of genetic association studies to detect causal genes of human complex diseases. Genome-wide association studies require much larger sample sizes to achieve an adequate statistical power. We estimated the statistical power with increasing numbers of markers analyzed and compared the sample sizes that were required in case-control studies and case-parent studies. We computed the effective sample size and statistical power using Genetic Power Calculator. An analysis using a larger number of markers requires a larger sample size. Testing a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) marker requires 248 cases, while testing 500,000 SNPs and 1 million markers requires 1,206 cases and 1,255 cases, respectively, under the assumption of an odds ratio of 2, 5% disease prevalence, 5% minor allele frequency, complete linkage disequilibrium (LD), 1:1 case/control ratio, and a 5% error rate in an allelic test. Under a dominant model, a smaller sample size is required to achieve 80% power than other genetic models. We found that a much lower sample size was required with a strong effect size, common SNP, and increased LD. In addition, studying a common disease in a case-control study of a 1:4 case-control ratio is one way to achieve higher statistical power. We also found that case-parent studies require more samples than case-control studies. Although we have not covered all plausible cases in study design, the estimates of sample size and statistical power computed under various assumptions in this study may be useful to determine the sample size in designing a population-based genetic association study.

  • Objective: Temperament can be defined as a type of behavioral tendency that appears in a relatively stable manner in responses to various external stimuli over time. The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters for the records of temperament testing that are used to improve the temperament of Jeju crossbred (Jeju${\times}$Thoroughbred) horses. Methods: This study was conducted using 205 horses (101 females and 104 males) produced between 2010 and 2015. The experimental animals were imprinted and tamed according to the Manual for Horse Taming and Evaluation for Therapeutic Riding Horses and evaluated according to the categories for temperament testing (gentleness, patience, aggressiveness, sensitivity, and friendliness) between 15 months and 18 months of age. Each category was scored on a five-point linear scale. Genetic parameters for the test categories were analyzed using a multi-trait mixed model with repeated records. The ASReml program was used to analyze the data. Results: The heritability of gentleness, patience, aggressiveness, sensitivity and friendliness ranged from 0.08 to 0.53. The standard errors of estimated heritability ranged from 0.13 to 0.17. The test categories showed high genetic correlations with each other, ranging from 0.96 to 0.99 and high repeatability, ranging from 0.70 to 0.73. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the test categories had moderate heritability and high genetic correlations, but additional studies may be necessary to use the results for the improvement programs of the temperament of Jeju crossbred horses.
