Combining exome and gene expression datasets in one graphical model of disease to empower the discovery of disease mechanisms [PDF]
Identifying genes associated with complex human diseases is one of the main challenges of human genetics and computational medicine. To answer this question, millions of genetic variants get screened to identify a few of importance. To increase the power of identifying genes associated with diseases and to account for other potential sources of protein

Kaplan–Meier analysis demonstrated that patients with splenomegaly had worse OS than those without splenomegaly. Abstract Background & aims Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) play an increasingly important role in the treatment of primary liver cancer (PLC). Some patients with PLC experience symptoms of splenomegaly.

Inference on High-Dimensional Sparse Count Data [PDF]
In a variety of application areas, there is a growing interest in analyzing high dimensional sparse count data, with sparsity exhibited by an over-abundance of zeros and small non-zero counts. Existing approaches for analyzing multivariate count data via Poisson or negative binomial log-linear hierarchical models with zero-inflation cannot flexibly ...

Prognosis prediction of stage IV colorectal cancer patients by mRNA transcriptional profile
This study aimed to clarify the prognostic factors for stage IV CRC patients undergoing primary cancer resection but not liver metastasis resection. WES and RNA‐Seq were used to sequence primary cancer tissues of 78 and 84 patients, respectively. Models were established to stratify the prognosis and to predict individual patient prognosis.

Autosomal recessive hyper‐IgE syndrome due to DOCK8 deficiency: An adjunctive role for omalizumab
We report a rare case of AR‐HIES with DOCK8 deficiency in a young male that was successfully treated by infection management, skincare, diet elimination, and omalizumab. Abstract Autosomal recessive hyper‐IgE syndrome (AR‐HIES) is a rare primary immunodeficiency disorder characterized by high serum IgE levels, recurrent viral skin infections, severe ...

ukbFGSEA: an R Package for Applying Fast Preranked Gene Set Enrichment Analysis to UK Biobank Exome Data [PDF]
The Genebass dataset, released by Karczewski et al. (2022), provides a comprehensive resource elucidating associations between genes and 4,529 phenotypes based on nearly 400,000 exomes from the UK Biobank. This extensive dataset enables the evaluation of gene set enrichment across a wide range of phenotypes, facilitating the inference of associations ...

A W-test collapsing method for rare variant testing with applications to exome sequencing data of hypertensive disorder [PDF]
Advancement in sequencing technology enables the study of association between complex disorders and rare variants with low minor allele frequencies. One of the major challenges in rare variant testing is lack of statistical power of traditional testing methods due to extremely low variances of single nucleotide polymorphisms.
