Variable Effects of PD-Risk Associated SNPs and Variants in Parkinsonism-Associated Genes on Disease Phenotype in a Community-Based Cohort

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2021
Genetic risk factors for Parkinson's disease (PD) risk and progression have been identified from genome-wide association studies (GWAS), as well as studies of familial forms of PD, implicating common variants at more than 90 loci and pathogenic or likely

A comprehensive 1000 Genomes-based genome-wide association meta-analysis of coronary artery disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Existing knowledge of genetic variants affecting risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) is largely based on genome-wide association studies (GWAS) analysis of common SNPs.

Bayesian Multi-SNP Genetic Association Analysis: Control of FDR and Use of Summary Statistics

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
Multi-SNP genetic association analysis has become increasingly important in analyzing data from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and molecular quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping studies.

ALDH1A1 Genetic Variations May Modulate Risk of Parkinson’s Disease in Han Chinese Population

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2021
Background: Studies in animal models have suggested that aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (encoded by ALDH1A1) protects against Parkinson’s disease (PD) by reducing toxic metabolites of dopamine.

A review of kernel methods for genetic association studies

open access: yesGenetic Epidemiology, 2019
Evaluating the association of multiple genetic variants with a trait of interest by use of kernel‐based methods has made a significant impact on how genetic association analyses are conducted. An advantage of kernel methods is that they tend to be robust

Population Structure and Cryptic Relatedness in Genetic Association Studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We review the problem of confounding in genetic association studies, which arises principally because of population structure and cryptic relatedness. Many treatments of the problem consider only a simple ``island'' model of population structure. We take

Sex Differences in Genetic Associations With Longevity [PDF]

open access: yesJAMA Network Open, 2018
Sex differences in genetic associations with human longevity remain largely unknown; investigations on this topic are important for individualized health care.To explore sex differences in genetic associations with longevity.This population-based case-control study used sex-specific genome-wide association study and polygenic risk score (PRS) analyses ...

Association of polymorphisms in the heparanase gene (HPSE) with hepatocellular carcinoma in Chinese populations

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology, 2017
Heparanase activity is involved in cancer growth and development in humans and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the heparanase gene (HPSE) have been shown to be associated with tumors.

MetaGenyo: a web tool for meta-analysis of genetic association studies

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2017
Genetic association studies (GAS) aims to evaluate the association between genetic variants and phenotypes. In the last few years, the number of this type of study has increased exponentially, but the results are not always reproducible due to ...
