Genetic Association Studies [PDF]
The widespread availability of DNA from large population studies, the development of rapid throughput genotyping assays, and the identification of numerous polymorphisms in genes of interest make it easier to perform genetic association studies in humans. We consider these studies appropriate areas of research in relation to atherosclerosis, thrombosis,

Genetic model misspecification in genetic association studies [PDF]
Objective The underlying model of the genetic determinant of a trait is generally not known with certainty a priori. Hence, in genetic association studies, a dominant model might be erroneously modelled as additive, an error investigated previously.

Linear regression in genetic association studies. [PDF]
In genomic research phenotype transformations are commonly used as a straightforward way to reach normality of the model outcome. Many researchers still believe it to be necessary for proper inference. Using regression simulations, we show that phenotype

A rapid review of genetic association studies of parent-of-origin effects and fetal growth [PDF]
Background Genetic factors contribute, in part, to fetal growth restriction (FGR), a developmental condition of disrupted fetal development associated with serious health consequences.

Sex chromosomes and genetic association studies [PDF]
Although the literature concerning statistical testing for genotype-phenotype association in family-based and population-based studies is very extensive, until recently the sex chromosomes have received little attention. Here it is shown that the X chromosome in particular presents special problems with respect to efficient analysis of mixed-sex ...

Genetic Determinants of Premature Menopause in A Mashhad Population Cohort [PDF]
Background: Premature menopause is characterized by amenorrhea before age of 40 years, markedly raised serumluteinizing hormone (LH) level, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) level and reduced serum level of estradiol.Genome-wide analysis suggested ...
