Village of Rosemont special project report : Willow-Higgins Creek Flood Mitigation Project phases III & IV, Cook County, Illinois.

Report by the Illinois Office of Water Resources on Phases III & IV of a flood hazard mitigation project in Rosemont, Illinois. Phase III of the Willow-Higgins Flood Mitigation Project consists of widening and improving a 340-foot reach of Willow-Higgins Creek upstream of River Road. The improvement will include the replacement of 340 lineal feet of vertical floodwall along both sides of Willow-Higgins Creek. Phase IV of the Willow-Higgins Flood Mitigation Project consists of widening and improving a reach of Willow-Higgins Creek between the downstream end of Phase II, which is 2565 feet downstream of Higgins Road, and Granville Road; and also between Willow Creek Road and a point 160 feet downstream of Willow Creek Road. The improvement will include placement of 2200 lineal feet of vertical floodwall along the north side of Willow-Higgins Creek and 160 feet of vertical floodwall along both sides of Willow-Higgins Creek downstream of Willow Creek Road.

A quantitative-trait genome-wide association study of alcoholism risk in the community: findings and implications

BACKGROUND Given moderately strong genetic contributions to variation in alcoholism and heaviness of drinking (50% to 60% heritability) with high correlation of genetic influences, we have conducted a quantitative trait genome-wide association study (GWAS) for phenotypes related to alcohol use and dependence. METHODS Diagnostic interview and blood/buccal samples were obtained from sibships ascertained through the Australian Twin Registry. Genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping was performed with 8754 individuals (2062 alcohol-dependent cases) selected for informativeness for alcohol use disorder and associated quantitative traits. Family-based association tests were performed for alcohol dependence, dependence factor score, and heaviness of drinking factor score, with confirmatory case-population control comparisons using an unassessed population control series of 3393 Australians with genome-wide SNP data. RESULTS No findings reached genome-wide significance (p = 8.4 x 10(-8) for this study), with lowest p value for primary phenotypes of 1.2 x 10(-7). Convergent findings for quantitative consumption and diagnostic and quantitative dependence measures suggest possible roles for a transmembrane protein gene (TMEM108) and for ANKS1A. The major finding, however, was small effect sizes estimated for individual SNPs, suggesting that hundreds of genetic variants make modest contributions (1/4% of variance or less) to alcohol dependence risk. CONCLUSIONS We conclude that: - 1) meta-analyses of consumption data may contribute usefully to gene discovery; - 2) translation of human alcoholism GWAS results to drug discovery or clinically useful prediction of risk will be challenging, and; - 3) through accumulation across studies, GWAS data may become valuable for improved genetic risk differentiation in research in biological psychiatry (e.g., prospective high-risk or resilience studies).
