Association analysis of Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) scores with serotonin transporter (5-HTT- LPR, 5-HTT-VNTR) and circadian (PER3-VNTR) genes [PDF]
Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a common complaint encountered in clinical practice with serious consequences both for individual and society since it can increase the ratio of motor vehicle accidents, work- related incidents, and deaths. Moreover,

Network assisted analysis to reveal the genetic basis of autism
While studies show that autism is highly heritable, the nature of the genetic basis of this disorder remains illusive. Based on the idea that highly correlated genes are functionally interrelated and more likely to affect risk, we develop a novel ...

Associations between birth size and later height from infancy through adulthood : an individual based pooled analysis of 28 twin cohorts participating in the CODATwins project [PDF]
Background: There is evidence that birth size is positively associated with height in later life, but it remains unclear whether this is explained by genetic factors or the intrauterine environment.

Genetic association studies [PDF]
The urge to associate genetic markers with human traits or diseases has been around for centuries. The association of specific hair colors with certain personality types has a long tradition in folklore. The rate-limiting factor has been the availability of measurable genetic markers.

Bayesian Model Comparison in Genetic Association Analysis: Linear Mixed Modeling and SNP Set Testing [PDF]
We consider the problems of hypothesis testing and model comparison under a flexible Bayesian linear regression model whose formulation is closely connected with the linear mixed effect model and the parametric models for SNP set analysis in genetic ...
