Genome-Wide Association Studies of Asthma
Allergology International, 2011 Bronchial asthma is a common inflammatory disease caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. To discover the genes and cellular pathways underlying asthma, a large number of genetic studies have been conducted.

A genome-wide association study on medulloblastoma [PDF]
Journal of Neuro-Oncology, 2020 Abstract Introduction Medulloblastoma is a malignant embryonal tumor of the cerebellum that occurs predominantly in children. To find germline genetic variants associated with medulloblastoma risk, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) including 244 medulloblastoma cases and 247 control subjects from Sweden and Denmark.

Identification of Druggable Genes for Asthma by Integrated Genomic Network Analysis
Biomedicines, 2022 Asthma is a common and heterogeneous disease characterized by chronic airway inflammation. Currently, the two main types of asthma medicines are inhaled corticosteroids and long-acting β2-adrenoceptor agonists (LABAs).

Replication of the Association of the 6q22.31c Locus near with Pulse Rate in the Korean Population [PDF]
Genomics & Informatics, 2012 Pulse rate is known to be related to diverse phenotypes, such as cardiovascular diseases, lifespan, arrhythmia, hypertension, lipids, diabetes, and menopause. We have reported two genomewide significant genetic loci responsible for the variation in pulse

Genome-Wide Association Studies in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2011 Cardiovascular disease remains the major cause of worldwide morbidity and mortality. Its pathophysiology is complex and multifactorial. Because the phenotype of cardiovascular disease often shows a marked heritable pattern, it is likely that genetic factors play an important role.

The genetics of obesity: A narrative review [PDF]
Precision and Future Medicine, 2022 Monogenic obesity is a rare, early-onset, and severe form of obesity that has a Mendelian inheritance pattern, high penetrance, and large genetic effect. In contrast, common polygenic obesity is more prevalent and has pattern of heritability derived from

Genome-wide association studies in Plasmodiumspecies [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2010 Abstract Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) look for correlations between traits of interest and genetic markers spread throughout the genome. A recent study in BMC Genetics has found that populations of the malaria parasite Plasmodium vivax should be amenable to GWAS searching for a genetic basis of parasite pathogenicity.

How data science and AI-based technologies impact genomics
Singapore Medical Journal, 2023 Advancements in high-throughput sequencing have yielded vast amounts of genomic data, which are studied using genome-wide association study (GWAS)/phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) methods to identify associations between the genotype and phenotype.

Genome-wide association studies in ADHD [PDF]
Human Genetics, 2009 Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, ADHD, is a common and highly heritable neuropsychiatric disorder that is seen in children and adults. Although heritability is estimated at around 76%, it has been hard to find genes underlying the disorder. ADHD is a multifactorial disorder, in which many genes, all with a small effect, are thought to cause ...
