Novel associations for hypothyroidism include known autoimmune risk loci [PDF]

, 2011
Hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid disorder, affecting about 5% of the general population. Here we present the first large genome-wide association study of hypothyroidism, in 2,564 cases and 24,448 controls from the customer base of 23andMe, Inc.,

Accounting for Population Structure in Gene-by-Environment Interactions in Genome-Wide Association Studies Using Mixed Models. [PDF]

, 2016
Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have discovered numerous novel genetic variants associated with many complex traits and diseases, those genetic variants typically explain only a small fraction of phenotypic variance. Factors that account

A Regression-based Approach to Robust Estimation and Inference for Genetic Covariance [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of genetic variants associated with complex traits, and some variants are shown to be associated with multiple complex traits. Genetic covariance between two traits is defined as the underlying covariance of genetic effects and can be used to measure the shared genetic architecture.
