A geometric interpretation of the permutation $p$-value and its application in eQTL studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Permutation $p$-values have been widely used to assess the significance of linkage or association in genetic studies. However, the application in large-scale studies is hindered by a heavy computational burden.

Integrative genomic and spatial transcriptomic analysis elucidates the oligodendrocyte‐mediated etiology of epileptic cortical thinning

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Focal epilepsy is characterized by progressive cortical thinning, particularly within limbic structures; however, whether this atrophy reflects acquired seizure‐induced damage or shared genetic predisposition remains unresolved. Methods We integrated genome‐wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics from the ILAE Consortium ...

Meta-analysis of massively parallel reporter assays enables prediction of regulatory function across cell types. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Deciphering the potential of noncoding loci to influence gene regulation has been the subject of intense research, with important implications in understanding genetic underpinnings of human diseases.

Pathologic gene network rewiring implicates PPP1R3A as a central regulator in pressure overload heart failure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Heart failure is a leading cause of mortality, yet our understanding of the genetic interactions underlying this disease remains incomplete. Here, we harvest 1352 healthy and failing human hearts directly from transplant center operating rooms, and ...

ULK4 and CDKN2A polymorphisms influence the risk of developing monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) is an asymptomatic precursor to multiple myeloma, sharing substantial genetic features with overt malignancy. Given evidence implicating autophagy in myeloma risk, this study examined whether genetic variations in autophagy‐related genes influence MGUS susceptibility.

Mendelian randomization integrating GWAS and eQTL data reveals genetic determinants of complex and clinical traits

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of variants associated with complex traits, but their biological interpretation often remains unclear.

Identification of expression QTL (eQTL) of genes expressed in porcine M. longissimus dorsi and associated with meat quality traits

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2010
Background Genetic analysis of transcriptional profiles is a promising approach for identifying and dissecting the genetics of complex traits like meat performance.

eQTL Catalogue: a compendium of uniformly processed human gene expression and splicing QTLs

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
An increasing number of gene expression quantitative trait locus (eQTL) studies have made summary statistics publicly available, which can be used to gain insight into complex human traits by downstream analyses, such as fine mapping and colocalisation ...

The importance of gene polymorphism in familial inheritance of endometriosis

open access: yesInternational Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The study aimed to investigate familial transmission patterns in women with endometriosis by generating a customized single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array. Methods Patients aged 18–45 who were diagnosed histopathologically with endometriosis were included in the study.

Exploring the genetics of irritable bowel syndrome: A GWA study in the general population and replication in multinational case-control cohorts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
OBJECTIVE: IBS shows genetic predisposition, but adequately powered gene-hunting efforts have been scarce so far. We sought to identify true IBS genetic risk factors by means of genome-wide association (GWA) and independent replication studies.
