Pleiotropy facilitates parallel adaptation in sticklebacks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
Highly pleiotropic genes are predicted to be used less often during adaptation, as mutations in these loci are more likely to have negative fitness consequences. Following this logic, we tested whether pleiotropy impacts the probability that a locus will

Mendelian randomization incorporating uncertainty about pleiotropy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Mendelian randomization (MR) requires strong assumptions about the genetic instruments, of which the most difficult to justify relate to pleiotropy.

Pleiotropy-robust Mendelian Randomization [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
BackgroundThe potential of Mendelian randomization studies is rapidly expanding due to: (i) the growing power of genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses to detect genetic variants associated with several exposures; and (ii) the increasing ...

Adaptation via pleiotropy and linkage: association mapping reveals a complex genetic architecture within the Eda locus. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Genomic mapping of the loci associated with phenotypic evolution has revealed genomic “hotspots,” or regions of the genome that control multiple phenotypic traits.

Investigating the shared genetic architecture between breast and ovarian cancers [PDF]

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Biology
High heritability and strong correlation have been observed in breast and ovarian cancers. However, their shared genetic architecture remained unclear. Linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) and heritability estimation from summary statistics (ρ ...

Benchmarking of univariate pleiotropy detection methods applied to epilepsy

open access: yes, 2022
peer reviewedAbstractPleiotropy is a widespread phenomenon that may increase insight into the etiology of biological and disease traits. Since genome-wide association studies frequently provide information on a single trait only, only univariate ...

Bone and Muscle Pleiotropy: The Genetics of Associated Traits [PDF]

open access: yesClinical Reviews in Bone and Mineral Metabolism, 2014
Bone and muscle mass are highly correlated. In part, this is a consequence of both tissues sharing common genetic determinants. In addition, both tissues are responsive to their mechanical environments. New genetic tools in mice will allow genes of interest to be inactivated in experimentally defined contexts, thus allowing investigators to distinguish

Characterization of adiposity and inflammation genetic pleiotropy underlying cardiovascular risk factors in Hispanics. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The observed overlap between genetic variants associated with both adiposity and inflammatory markers suggests that changes in both adiposity and inflammation could be partially mediated by common pathways.

Genetic architecture of rainbow trout survival from egg to adult [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Survival from birth to a reproductive adult is a challenge that only robust individuals resistant to a variety of mortality factors will overcome. To assess whether survival traits share genetic architecture throughout the life cycle, we estimated ...

Joint analysis of psychiatric disorders increases accuracy of risk prediction for schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and major depressive disorder [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Genetic risk prediction has several potential applications in medical research and clinical practice and could be used, for example, to stratify a heterogeneous population of patients by their predicted genetic risk.
