Bayesian methods for genetic association analysis with heterogeneous subgroups: From meta-analyses to gene-environment interactions

open access: yes, 2014
Genetic association analyses often involve data from multiple potentially-heterogeneous subgroups. The expected amount of heterogeneity can vary from modest (e.g., a typical meta-analysis) to large (e.g., a strong gene--environment interaction). However,

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

open access: yes, 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

Associations between loneliness and personality are mostly driven by a genetic association with Neuroticism.

open access: yesJournal of Personality, 2018
OBJECTIVE Loneliness is an aversive response to a discrepancy between desired and actual social relationships and correlates with personality. We investigate the relationship of loneliness and personality in twin family and molecular genetic data ...

Genome-Wide Expression Quantitative Trait Loci Analysis Using Mixed Models

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2018
Expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) are important for understanding the genetic basis of cellular activities and complex phenotypes. Genome-wide eQTL analyses can be effectively conducted by employing a mixed model. The mixed model includes random

Genetics of common polygenic ischaemic stroke: current understanding and future challenges. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Stroke is the third commonest cause of death and the major cause of adult neurological disability worldwide. While much is known about conventional risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes and incidence of smoking, these environmental factors only ...

Integrating molecular QTL data into genome-wide genetic association analysis: Probabilistic assessment of enrichment and colocalization

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2016
We propose a novel statistical framework for integrating genetic data from molecular quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping into genome-wide genetic association analysis of complex traits, with the primary objectives of quantitatively assessing the ...

Further evidence for a male-selective genetic association of synapse-associated protein 97 (SAP97) gene with schizophrenia

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Functions, 2012
Background The synapse-associated protein 97 gene (SAP97) encodes a regulatory scaffold protein for the localization of L-alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazole propionic acid (AMPA), kainate and N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) type glutamate receptors ...

Rs10204525 Polymorphism of the Programmed Death (PD-1) Gene Is Associated with Increased Risk in a Saudi Arabian Population with Colorectal Cancer

open access: yesMedicina, 2022
Checkpoint programmed death-1 (PD-1) has been identified as an immunosuppressive molecule implicated in the immune evasion of transformed cells. It is highly expressed in tumor cells in order to evade host immunosurveillance.

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.

New insights into the genetic etiology of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2022
Characterization of the genetic landscape of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and related dementias (ADD) provides a unique opportunity for a better understanding of the associated pathophysiological processes.
