Sample size requirements to detect the effect of a group of genetic variants in case-control studies
Background Because common diseases are caused by complex interactions among many genetic variants along with environmental risk factors, very large sample sizes are usually needed to detect such effects in case-control studies. Nevertheless, many genetic

HUMAN GENETIC VARIANTS AND THEIR ANALYSIS: CURRENT STATE AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
Human genetic variants occur throughout the whole genome, both in the coding and non-coding regions. In addition to defining genetic diversity among individuals, they may, in some instances, cause various genetic diseases, many of which have their onset ...

Genetic variants associated with glaucomatous visual field loss in primary open-angle glaucoma
Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) is characterized by a progressive optic neuropathy with visual field loss. To investigate the genetic variants associated with visual field loss in POAG, Japanese POAG patients (n = 426) and control subjects (n = 246 ...

Genetic determinants of co-accessible chromatin regions in activated T cells across humans. [PDF]
Over 90% of genetic variants associated with complex human traits map to non-coding regions, but little is understood about how they modulate gene regulation in health and disease.

Discovery and genotyping of structural variation from long-read haploid genome sequence data [PDF]
In an effort to more fully understand the full spectrum of human genetic variation, we generated deep single-molecule, real-time (SMRT) sequencing data from two haploid human genomes.

Genetic susceptibility variants in parkinsonism [PDF]
Parkinsonism is an umbrella term for a group of disorders characterized by the clinical signs of tremor, bradykinesia, rigidity, and postural instability. On neuropathologic examination parkinsonism can display alternate protein pathologies (e.g. α-synucleinopathy or tauopathy) but the degeneration of nigral neurons is consistent.
