A Kernel-Based Neural Network for High-dimensional Genetic Risk Prediction Analysis [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2021
Risk prediction capitalizing on emerging human genome findings holds great promise for new prediction and prevention strategies. While the large amounts of genetic data generated from high-throughput technologies offer us a unique opportunity to study a deep catalog of genetic variants for risk prediction, the high-dimensionality of genetic data and ...

Schizophrenia genetic variants are not associated with intelligence [PDF]

open access: yesPsychological Medicine, 2013
BackgroundSchizophrenia is associated with lower pre-morbid intelligence (IQ) in addition to (pre-morbid) cognitive decline. Both schizophrenia and IQ are highly heritable traits. Therefore, we hypothesized that genetic variants associated with schizophrenia, including copy number variants (CNVs) and a polygenic schizophrenia (risk) score (PSS), may ...

Integrative Genomic Analysis for the Discovery of Biomarkers in Prostate Cancer

open access: yesBiomarker Insights, 2014
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have achieved great success in identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs, herein called genetic variants) and genes associated with risk of developing prostate cancer. However, GWAS do not typically link the

Whole-exome sequencing reveals a rapid change in the frequency of rare functional variants in a founding population of humans. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2013
Whole-exome or gene targeted resequencing in hundreds to thousands of individuals has shown that the majority of genetic variants are at low frequency in human populations.

Interaction of Insulin Resistance and Related Genetic Variants With Triglyceride-Associated Genetic Variants [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation: Cardiovascular Genetics, 2016
Background— Several studies suggest that some triglyceride-associated single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have pleiotropic and opposite effects on glycemic traits. This potentially implicates them in pathways such as de novo lipogenesis, which is presumably upregulated in the context of insulin resistance.

Novel Genetic Variants of CDC25A Significantly Increase Risk of Spermatogenesis Arrest in Men from Bengali Population, India: A Cross-Sectional Study

open access: yesJournal of Human Reproductive Sciences
Background: Idiopathic azoospermia is one of the most common reasons for male infertility, but little is known about its genetic origins. The CDC25A gene, a meiotic core regulator, encodes a phosphatase that triggers the G1/S transition of meiosis.

Retrospective Analysis of Clinical Genetic Testing in Pediatric Primary Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Testing Outcomes and the Effects of Variant Reclassification

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2020
Background Genetic testing in pediatric primary dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients has identified numerous disease‐causing variants, but few studies have evaluated genetic testing outcomes in this population in the context of patient and familial ...

Expectile Neural Networks for Genetic Data Analysis of Complex Diseases [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2020
The genetic etiologies of common diseases are highly complex and heterogeneous. Classic statistical methods, such as linear regression, have successfully identified numerous genetic variants associated with complex diseases. Nonetheless, for most complex diseases, the identified variants only account for a small proportion of heritability.

The dual nature of TDC – bridging dendritic and T cells in immunity

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
TDC are hematopoietic cells combining dendritic and T cell features. They reach secondary lymphoid organs (SLOs) and peripheral organs (liver and lungs) after FLT3‐dependent development in the bone marrow and maturation in the thymus. TDC are activated and enriched in SLOs upon viral infection, suggesting that they might play unique immune roles, since

It Is Not Carved in Stone—The Need for a Genetic Reevaluation of Variants in Pediatric Cardiomyopathies

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
(1) Background: In cardiomyopathies, identification of genetic variants is important for the correct diagnosis and impacts family cascade screening. A classification system was published by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) in ...
