Genome-wide association study of major depressive disorder: new results, meta-analysis, and lessons learned [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a common complex disorder with a partly genetic etiology. We conducted a genome-wide association study of the MDD2000+ sample (2431 cases, 3673 screened controls and >1 M imputed single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs)).

The causal impact of smoking behavior on osteoarthritis: a Mendelian randomization analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Public Health
ObjectiveAlthough smoking and osteoarthritis (OA) have been linked in a number of studies, the exact cause of the association is still unknown and the conclusion is controversial. The purpose of this study was to use Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Common DNA markers can account for more than half of the genetic influence on cognitive abilities [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
For nearly a century, twin and adoption studies have yielded substantial estimates of heritability for cognitive abilities, although it has proved difficult for genomewide-association studies to identify the genetic variants that account for this ...

Immune-checkpoint HLA-G gene polymorphisms, 3’-UTR types and their association with hepatocellular carcinoma and treatment response in Indian population

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology
BackgroundHuman leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a cancer-associated immune checkpoint protein implicated in tumor-driven immune escape mechanisms. This study was undertaken to determine genetic variations at the 3’-UTR of the HLA-G gene that may alter its

Evaluation of the Association of Htr2a Gene Rs6313 Polymorphism with Heroin Dependence in a Sample from Northwest Iran

open access: yesMajallah-i Dānishgāh-i ’Ulūm-i Pizishkī-i Īlām, 2021
Introduction: Heroin dependence is a chronic relapsing disorder caused by a combination of genetic, epigenetic, and environmental factors. The genetic contribution in the vulnerability to heroin dependence is 40%-60%. Alterations in dopamine transport in

Spatiotemporal and quantitative analyses of phosphoinositides – fluorescent probe—and mass spectrometry‐based approaches

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fluorescent probes allow dynamic visualization of phosphoinositides in living cells (left), whereas mass spectrometry provides high‐sensitivity, isomer‐resolved quantitation (right). Their synergistic use captures complementary aspects of lipid signaling. This review illustrates how these approaches reveal the spatiotemporal regulation and quantitative

Statistical Methods For Detecting Genetic Risk Factors of a Disease with Applications to Genome-Wide Association Studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This thesis aims to develop various statistical methods for analysing the data derived from genome wide association studies (GWAS). The GWAS often involves genotyping individual human genetic variation, using high-throughput genome-wide single ...

Association Between Genetic Variants on Chromosome 15q25 Locus and Objective Measures of Tobacco Exposure [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Background: Two single-nucleotide polymorphisms, rs1051730 and rs16969968, located within the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene cluster on chromosome 15q25 locus, are associated with heaviness of smoking, risk for lung cancer, and other smoking ...
