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 ...

Comparative analysis of genome-wide association studies signals for lipids, diabetes, and coronary heart disease: Cardiovascular Biomarker Genetics Collaboration [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
To evaluate the associations of emergent genome-wide-association study-derived coronary heart disease (CHD)-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with established and emerging risk factors, and the association of genome-wide-association study-

Transcriptome-wide association study of multiple myeloma identifies candidate susceptibility genes

open access: yesHuman Genomics, 2019
Background While genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of multiple myeloma (MM) have identified variants at 23 regions influencing risk, the genes underlying these associations are largely unknown. To identify candidate causal genes at these regions and

Genome-wide association analysis identifies variants associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease that have distinct effects on metabolic traits [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) clusters in families, but the only known common genetic variants influencing risk are near PNPLA3. We sought to identify additional genetic variants influencing NAFLD using genome-wide association (GWA) analysis ...

Genome-wide and transcriptome-wide association studies of mammographic density phenotypes reveal novel loci

open access: yesBreast Cancer Research, 2022
Background Mammographic density (MD) phenotypes, including percent density (PMD), area of dense tissue (DA), and area of non-dense tissue (NDA), are associated with breast cancer risk. Twin studies suggest that MD phenotypes are highly heritable. However,

Selecting Closely-Linked SNPs Based on Local Epistatic Effects for Haplotype Construction Improves Power of Association Mapping

open access: yesG3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2019
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have gained central importance for the identification of candidate loci underlying complex traits. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers are mostly used as genetic variants for the analysis of genotype ...

Genome-wide Association Studies

open access: yes, 2013
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are a powerful hypothesis-free tool for the dissection of susceptibility to common heritable human diseases, including osteoporosis. To date, more than 2000 loci for common human diseases have been identified by GWAS.

A genome-wide association search for type 2 diabetes genes in African Americans. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
African Americans are disproportionately affected by type 2 diabetes (T2DM) yet few studies have examined T2DM using genome-wide association approaches in this ethnicity.

Genome- and Transcriptome-wide Association Studies to Discover Candidate Genes for Diverse Root Phenotypes in Cultivated Rice

open access: yesRice, 2023
Root system architecture plays a crucial role in nutrient and water absorption during rice production. Genetic improvement of the rice root system requires elucidating its genetic control.
