Comparison of quantitative trait loci methods: Total expression and allelic imbalance method in brain RNA-seq.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
BackgroundOf the 108 Schizophrenia (SZ) risk-loci discovered through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), 96 are not altering the sequence of any protein. Evidence linking non-coding risk-SNPs and genes may be established using expression quantitative

Comprehensive Evidence for Mortality and Underlying Morbidity Related to Visceral Fat Distribution

open access: yesMed Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Linking obesity to mortality is an intriguing and controversial topic. This study tried to comprehensively assess 8 adiposity surrogates and mortality association among middle‐to‐old‐aged adults to identify a superior one, and explore explanatory disorders. Data sources included the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES), UK

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 ...

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 ...

Defense heterosis as a novel plant protection strategy: From theory to breeding practice

open access: yesNew Plant Protection, EarlyView.
Defense heterosis, the enhanced disease resistance of hybrids compared to their parents, has evolved from early observations of hybrid vigor to a novel research concept. Advances are now clarifying its diverse genetic and molecular mechanisms across various plant–pathogen interactions.

Transcription factor regulation of eQTL activity across individuals and tissues.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2022
Tens of thousands of genetic variants associated with gene expression (cis-eQTLs) have been discovered in the human population. These eQTLs are active in various tissues and contexts, but the molecular mechanisms of eQTL variability are poorly understood,

C/EBPα is Essential for Gonadal but Not Inguinal White Adipose Tissue Formation in Mice

open access: yesObesity, EarlyView.
Human genetics has linked the gene CEBPA to waist to hip ratio and adipose distribution. We generated mice with AdipoQ‐Cre driven deletion of Cebpa and found these mice to have a specific reduction in gonadal white adipose tissue and myriad other metabolic phenotypes.

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.

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.

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.
