Single-cell transcriptomic atlas of the human retina identifies cell types associated with age-related macular degeneration

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
“Genome-wide association studies have identified variants associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD); however, other than identifying this as a complement mediated inflammatory disease, little biology has emerged.

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.

Genetic associations with childhood brain growth, defined in two longitudinal cohorts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are unraveling the genetics of adult brain neuroanatomy as measured by cross-sectional anatomic magnetic resonance imaging (aMRI). However, the genetic mechanisms that shape childhood brain development are, as yet,

Comprehensive research synopsis and systematic meta-analyses in Parkinson's disease genetics: The PDGene database.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2012
More than 800 published genetic association studies have implicated dozens of potential risk loci in Parkinson's disease (PD). To facilitate the interpretation of these findings, we have created a dedicated online resource, PDGene, that comprehensively ...

Genetic evidence implicates the immune system and cholesterol metabolism in the aetiology of Alzheimer's disease.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2010
BackgroundLate Onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the leading cause of dementia. Recent large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified the first strongly supported LOAD susceptibility genes since the discovery of the involvement of APOE in the ...

Variants in the fetal genome near FLT1 are associated with risk of preeclampsia. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
: Preeclampsia, which affects approximately 5% of pregnancies, is a leading cause of maternal and perinatal death. The causes of preeclampsia remain unclear, but there is evidence for inherited susceptibility.

Evaluation of shared genetic susceptibility loci between autoimmune diseases and schizophrenia based on genome-wide association studies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies have documented higher than expected comorbidity (or, in some cases, inverse comorbidity) between schizophrenia and several autoimmune disorders.

Large‐scale bidirectional arrayed genetic screens identify OXR1 and EMC4 as modifiers of αSynuclein aggregation

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Activation of the mitochondrial protein OXR1 increases pSyn129 αSynuclein aggregation by lowering ATP levels and altering mitochondrial membrane potential, particularly in response to MSA‐derived fibrils. In contrast, ablation of the ER protein EMC4 enhances autophagic flux and lysosomal clearance, broadly reducing α‐synuclein aggregates.

PP-GWAS: Privacy Preserving Multi-Site Genome-wide Association Studies

open access: yesNature Communications
Genome-wide association studies help uncover genetic influences on complex traits and diseases. Importantly, multi-site data collaborations enhance the statistical power of these studies but pose challenges due to the sensitivity of genomic data ...

Editing GWAS: experimental approaches to dissect and exploit disease-associated genetic variation

open access: yesGenome Medicine, 2021
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have uncovered thousands of genetic variants that influence risk for human diseases and traits. Yet understanding the mechanisms by which these genetic variants, mainly noncoding, have an impact on associated ...
