A genome-wide association study of anorexia nervosa [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Psychiatry, 2014
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a complex and heritable eating disorder characterized by dangerously low body weight. Neither candidate gene studies nor an initial genome-wide association study (GWAS) have yielded significant and replicated results. We performed a GWAS in 2907 cases with AN from 14 countries (15 sites) and 14 860 ancestrally matched controls ...

Genome-Wide Association Studies of Asthma

open access: yesAllergology 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.

Genome-wide association with select biomarker traits in the Framingham Heart Study [PDF]

open access: gold, 2007
BACKGROUND: Systemic biomarkers provide insights into disease pathogenesis, diagnosis, and risk stratification. Many systemic biomarker concentrations are heritable phenotypes.

Genome-wide association studies [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Methods Primers, 2021
Genome- wide association studies (GWAS) test hundreds of thousands of genetic variants across many genomes to find those statistically associated with a specific trait or disease. This methodology has generated a myriad of robust associations for a range of traits and diseases, and the number of associated variants is expected to grow steadily as GWAS ...

Novel associations for hypothyroidism include known autoimmune risk loci [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Hypothyroidism is the most common thyroid disorder, affecting about 5% of the general population. Here we present the first large genome-wide association study of hypothyroidism, in 2,564 cases and 24,448 controls from the customer base of 23andMe, Inc.,

A genome-wide association study on medulloblastoma [PDF]

open access: yesJournal 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.

Genome-Wide Association Studies in Atherosclerosis [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent 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.

Common variants in FOXP1 are associated with generalized vitiligo [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
In a recent genome-wide association study of generalized vitiligo, we identified ten confirmed susceptibility loci. By testing additional loci that showed suggestive association in the genome-wide study, using two replication cohorts of European descent,

rMVP: A Memory-efficient, Visualization-enhanced, and Parallel-accelerated Tool for Genome-wide Association Study

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2020
Along with the development of high-throughout sequencing technologies, both sample size and number of SNPs are increasing rapidly in Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) and the associated computation is more challenging than ever.

Genome-Wide Association Study on Longitudinal Change in Fasting Plasma Glucose in Korean Population [PDF]

open access: yesDiabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2023
Background Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have identified more than 400 distinct genetic loci associated with diabetes and nearly 120 loci for fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and fasting insulin level to date ...
