Exploring the potential relevance of human-specific genes to complex disease
<p>Abstract</p> <p>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 propo...
