Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for height and body mass index in ∼700,000 individuals of European ancestry

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2018
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) stand as powerful experimental designs for identifying DNA variants associated with complex traits and diseases. In the past decade, both the number of such studies and their sample sizes have increased dramatically.

Genome-wide association studies for Alzheimer’s disease: bigger is not always better

open access: yesBrain Communications, 2022
As the size of genome-wide association studies increase, the number of associated trait loci identified inevitably increase. One welcomes this if it allows the better delineation of the pathways to disease and increases the accuracy of genetic prediction

Simulating variance heterogeneity in quantitative genome wide association studies

open access: yesBMC Bioinformatics, 2018
Background Analyzing Variance heterogeneity in genome wide association studies (vGWAS) is an emerging approach for detecting genetic loci involved in gene-gene and gene-environment interactions.

Reporting and Interpretation in Genome-Wide Association Studies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In the context of genome-wide association studies we critique a number of methods that have been suggested for flagging associations for further investigation.

Iterative Usage of Fixed and Random Effect Models for Powerful and Efficient Genome-Wide Association Studies

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2016
False positives in a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) can be effectively controlled by a fixed effect and random effect Mixed Linear Model (MLM) that incorporates population structure and kinship among individuals to adjust association tests on ...

Genome-wide association studies identify 137 genetic loci for DNA methylation biomarkers of aging

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2021
Biological aging estimators derived from DNA methylation data are heritable and correlate with morbidity and mortality. Consequently, identification of genetic and environmental contributors to the variation in these measures in populations has become a ...

Genome-wide association study of primary tooth eruption identifies pleiotropic loci associated with height and craniofacial distances [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Twin and family studies indicate that the timing of primary tooth eruption is highly heritable, with estimates typically exceeding 80%. To identify variants involved in primary tooth eruption we performed a population based genome-wide association study ...

Genome-Wide Association Studies of Allergic Diseases

open access: yesAllergology International, 2013
Allergic diseases are complex diseases caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. To determine the genetic components of these diseases and to discover the genes and cellular pathways underlying them, a large number of genetic studies ...

Sequencing-based genome-wide association studies reporting standards

open access: yesCell Genomics, 2021
Summary: Genome sequencing has recently become a viable genotyping technology for use in genome-wide association studies (GWASs), offering the potential to analyze a broader range of genome-wide variation, including rare variants.
