Large-scale transcriptome-wide association study identifies new prostate cancer risk regions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genomic risk regions for prostate cancer. Here, the authors perform a transcriptome wide association study (TWAS) by incorporating prostate cancer GWAS with gene expression data to ...

The Human Microbiome and the Missing Heritability Problem

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2017
The “missing heritability” problem states that genetic variants in Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) cannot completely explain the heritability of complex traits.

HLA Class I or Class II and Disease Association: Catch the Difference if You Can [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The association of autoimmune diseases with HLA has been known for many decades. To date, however, the underlying mechanisms have not been fully understood. The recently introduced genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have suggested that several genes

Identification of genetic basis of agronomic traits in alfalfa (Medicago sativa subsp. sativa) using Genome Wide Association Studies

open access: yesJournal of Oasis Agriculture and Sustainable Development, 2023
Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the most widely cultivated forage crops due to its high yield, value of nutrients, and adaptation to diverse environments.

Tissue-specific network-based genome wide study of amygdala imaging phenotypes to identify functional interaction modules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Motivation: Network-based genome-wide association studies (GWAS) aim to identify functional modules from biological networks that are enriched by top GWAS findings.

Robust Reference Powered Association Test of Genome-Wide Association Studies

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2019
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified abundant genetic susceptibility loci, GWAS of small sample size are far less from meeting the previous expectations due to low statistical power and false positive results.

Robust Tests in Genome-Wide Scans under Incomplete Linkage Disequilibrium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Under complete linkage disequilibrium (LD), robust tests often have greater power than Pearson's chi-square test and trend tests for the analysis of case-control genetic association studies.

Gene expression imputation identifies candidate genes and susceptibility loci associated with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Genetic loci linked to susceptibility for the common skin cancer cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) have been identified by genome wide association studies (GWAS).

Meta-analysis of human genome-microbiome association studies: the MiBioGen consortium initiative

open access: yesMicrobiome, 2018
Background In recent years, human microbiota, especially gut microbiota, have emerged as an important yet complex trait influencing human metabolism, immunology, and diseases.

The role of 39 psoriasis risk variants on age of psoriasis onset. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple genetic risk factors for psoriasis, but data on their association with age of onset have been marginally explored.
