Evolutionary Analysis of Transcriptional Regulation Mediated by Cdx2 in Rodents

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Our study (1) represented a first systematic analysis of species‐specific adaptation in the DNA binding pattern of transcription factor; (2) represented a first study of cis‐regulation between two reproductively isolated species by using a novel allodiploid system; (3) demonstrated a higher conservation of transcriptional output than that of DNA ...

Insight into genetic regulation of miRNA in mouse brain

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2019
Background micro RNA (miRNA) are important regulators of gene expression and may influence phenotypes and disease traits. The connection between genetics and miRNA expression can be determined through expression quantitative loci (eQTL) analysis, which ...

Mediation analysis demonstrates that trans-eQTLs are often explained by cis-mediation: a genome-wide analysis among 1,800 South Asians. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2014
A large fraction of human genes are regulated by genetic variation near the transcribed sequence (cis-eQTL, expression quantitative trait locus), and many cis-eQTLs have implications for human disease.

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.

Whole Blood Transcriptomic Analysis of Sickle Cell Trait

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Haematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sickle cell trait (SCT) is the heterozygous carrier state for the HBB missense variant which causes sickle cell disease (SCD). SCT has been associated with increased risk of venous thromboembolism and chronic kidney disease as well as alterations in clinical laboratory parameters. To investigate differential gene expression in SCT, we used RNA

Parent-of-origin-specific allelic associations among 106 genomic loci for age at menarche. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Age at menarche is a marker of timing of puberty in females. It varies widely between individuals, is a heritable trait and is associated with risks for obesity, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, breast cancer and all-cause mortality.

Genetic risk factor identification for common epilepsies guided by integrative omics data analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic generalized epilepsies (GGEs) comprise the most common genetically determined epilepsy syndromes, following a complex mode of inheritance. Although many important common and rare genetic factors causing or contributing to these epilepsies have been identified in the past decades, many features of the genetic architecture are ...

Modeling expression quantitative trait loci in data combining ethnic populations

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2010
Background Combining data from different ethnic populations in a study can increase efficacy of methods designed to identify expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) compared to analyzing each population independently.

Identification of a novel regulatory mechanism for the disease associated protein, uPAR [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs), as determined through a series of statistical association studies collectively known as genome-wide association (GWA) studies, have provided us with a hypothesis free approach for the investigation into ...

A Principled Framework for Mendelian Randomization in Oral Health Research

open access: yesJournal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
This methodological article provides a clear and accessible overview of Mendelian randomization for oral health researchers, emphasizing the core assumptions needed for credible causal inference. Focusing on applications in oral health, particularly periodontitis, it highlights both the strengths and limitations of the study design in order to support ...
