Quantification of the overall contribution of gene-environment interaction for obesity-related traits

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
The growing sample size of genome-wide association studies has facilitated the discovery of gene-environment interactions (GxE). Here we propose a maximum likelihood method to estimate the contribution of GxE to continuous traits taking into account all ...

A genome-wide association study of cocaine use disorder accounting for phenotypic heterogeneity and gene–environment interaction

open access: yesJournal of Psychiatry and Neuroscience, 2020
Phenotypic heterogeneity and complicated gene–environment interplay in etiology are among the primary factors that hinder the identification of genetic variants associated with cocaine use disorder.To detect novel genetic variants associated with cocaine use disorder, we derived disease traits with reduced phenotypic heterogeneity using cluster ...

How ambient temperature affects the heading date of foxtail millet (Setaria italica)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2023
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica), a short-day plant, is one of the important crops for food security encountering climate change, particularly in regions where it is a staple food.

Signatures of adaptation in myopia-related genes on the sunlight exposure hypothesis

open access: yesJournal of Physiological Anthropology, 2023
Background Myopia is a common eye disorder that results from gene-environment interactions. The prevalence of myopia varies across populations, and exposure to bright sunlight may prevent its development.

Bayesian semiparametric analysis for two-phase studies of gene-environment interaction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The two-phase sampling design is a cost-efficient way of collecting expensive covariate information on a judiciously selected subsample. It is natural to apply such a strategy for collecting genetic data in a subsample enriched for exposure to ...

Simulating gene-gene and gene-environment interactions in complex diseases: Gene-Environment iNteraction Simulator 2

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2012
Background The analysis of complex diseases is an important problem in human genetics. Because multifactoriality is expected to play a pivotal role, many studies are currently focused on collecting information on the genetic and environmental factors ...

Gene–Environment Interactions at Nucleotide Resolution

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2010
Interactions among genes and the environment are a common source of phenotypic variation. To characterize the interplay between genetics and the environment at single nucleotide resolution, we quantified the genetic and environmental interactions of four quantitative trait nucleotides (QTN) that govern yeast sporulation efficiency. We first constructed

A flexible Bayesian model for studying gene-environment interaction. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2012
An important follow-up step after genetic markers are found to be associated with a disease outcome is a more detailed analysis investigating how the implicated gene or chromosomal region and an established environment risk factor interact to influence ...

Regulation of Pancreatic β-Cell Mass by Gene-Environment Interaction [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2022
The main pathogenic mechanism of diabetes consists of an increase in insulin resistance and a decrease in insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. The number of diabetic patients has been increasing dramatically worldwide, especially in Asian people ...

Alcohol consumption and lifetime change in cognitive ability:a gene × environment interaction study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Studies of the effect of alcohol consumption on cognitive ability are often confounded. One approach to avoid confounding is the Mendelian randomization design.
