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

We quantified and cultured circulating tumor cells (CTCs) of 62 patients with various cancer types and generated CTC‐derived tumoroid models from two salivary gland cancer patients. Cellular liquid biopsy‐derived information enabled molecular genetic assessment of systemic disease heterogeneity and functional testing for therapy selection in both ...

Simple Algorithms to Calculate Asymptotic Null Distributions of Robust Tests in Case-Control Genetic Association Studies in R [PDF]
The case-control study is an important design for testing association between genetic markers and a disease. The Cochran-Armitage trend test (CATT) is one of the most commonly used statistics for the analysis of case-control genetic association studies ...

Contribution of Rare and Common APOE Variants to Familial Hypercholesterolemia in Spanish Cohort
Our aim was to determine whether rare APOE pathogenic variants (PV) and the common e2/e3/e4 polymorphism were associated with the risk of familial hypercholesterolemia (FH).

Implications of self-identified race, ethnicity, and genetic ancestry on genetic association studies in biobanks within health systems [PDF]
Precision medicine aims to create biomedical solutions tailored to specific factors that affect disease risk and treatment responses within the population. The success of the genomics era and recent widespread availability of electronic health records (EHR) has ushered in a new wave of genomic biobanks connected to EHR databases (EHR-linked biobanks ...
