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 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 ...

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.

Genome-wide association studies in ADHD [PDF]

open access: yesHuman 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 ...

Genome-wide association studies: a primer [PDF]

open access: yesPsychological Medicine, 2009
There have been nearly 400 genome-wide association studies (GWAS) published since 2005. The GWAS approach has been exceptionally successful in identifying common genetic variants that predispose to a variety of complex human diseases and biochemical and anthropometric traits. Although this approach is relatively new, there are many excellent reviews of

A Genome-Wide Association Study of Depressive Symptoms [PDF]

open access: yesBiological Psychiatry, 2013
Depression is a heritable trait that exists on a continuum of varying severity and duration. Yet, the search for genetic variants associated with depression has had few successes. We exploit the entire continuum of depression to find common variants for depressive symptoms.In this genome-wide association study, we combined the results of 17 population ...

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 in mice [PDF]

open access: yesNature Reviews Genetics, 2012
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have transformed the field of human genetics and have led to the discovery of hundreds of genes that are implicated in human disease. The technological advances that drove this revolution are now poised to transform genetic studies in model organisms, including mice.

Data mining and machine learning approaches for the integration of genome-wide association and methylation data: methodology and main conclusions from GAW20

open access: yesBMC Genetics, 2018
Background Multiple layers of genetic and epigenetic variability are being simultaneously explored in an increasing number of health studies. We summarize here different approaches applied in the Data Mining and Machine Learning group at the GAW20 to ...
