Clinical validity assessment of a breast cancer risk model combining genetic and clinical information [PDF]
_Background:_ The extent to which common genetic variation can assist in breast cancer (BCa) risk assessment is unclear. We assessed the addition of risk information from a panel of BCa-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on risk ...

Additional value of a combined genetic risk score to standard cardiovascular stratification
The utility of genetic risk scores (GRS) as independent risk predictors remains inconclusive. Here, we evaluate the additive value of a multi-locus GRS to the Framingham risk score (FRS) in coronary artery disease (CAD) risk prediction.

Statistical Methods For Detecting Genetic Risk Factors of a Disease with Applications to Genome-Wide Association Studies [PDF]
This thesis aims to develop various statistical methods for analysing the data derived from genome wide association studies (GWAS). The GWAS often involves genotyping individual human genetic variation, using high-throughput genome-wide single ...

Are genetic risk factors for psychosis also associated with dimension-specific psychotic experiences in adolescence? [PDF]
Psychosis has been hypothesised to be a continuously distributed quantitative phenotype and disorders such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder represent its extreme manifestations.

Genetic Risk Scores in Stroke Research and Care
Stroke remains a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. While well-established risk factors play a major role, genetic predisposition is a crucial determinant of stroke susceptibility, with heritability estimates up to 39% for ischemic stroke and 29% for intracerebral hemorrhage.

The genetic relationship between commencement of luteal activity and calving interval, body condition score, production, and linear type traits in Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle [PDF]
The decline of fertility in the UK dairy herd and the unfavorable genetic correlation (r(a)) between fertility and milk yield has necessitated the broadening of breeding goals to include fertility.

Genetic parameters for milk somatic cell score and relationships with production traits in primiparous dairy sheep [PDF]
A total of 13,066 first-lactation test-day records of 2,277 Valle del Belice ewes from 17 flocks were used to estimate genetic parameters for somatic cell scores (SCS) and milk production traits, using a repeatability test-day animal model.
