ICAM-1 molecular mechanism and genome wide SNP's association studies

open access: yesIndian Heart Journal, 2015
Macrophages transformed foam cell formation occurs as a result of leukocyte accumulation mediated through intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM1), vascular cell adhesion molecule 1 (VCAM1), and E-selectin, secreted by inflamed or damaged endothelium ...

Genetic Pathways to Insomnia

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2016
This review summarizes current research on the genetics of insomnia, as genetic contributions are thought to be important for insomnia etiology. We begin by providing an overview of genetic methods (both quantitative and measured gene), followed by a ...

Genome-Wide Association Studies of the PR Interval in African Americans [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The PR interval on the electrocardiogram reflects atrial and atrioventricular nodal conduction time. The PR interval is heritable, provides important information about arrhythmia risk, and has been suggested to differ among human races.

Genome-Wide Association Study of Opioid Cessation [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine, 2020
The United States is experiencing an epidemic of opioid use disorder (OUD) and overdose-related deaths. However, the genetic basis for the ability to discontinue opioid use has not been investigated. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of opioid cessation (defined as abstinence from illicit opioids for >1 year or <6 months before ...

From Gene Expression to Transcriptome-wide Association Study: Development and Comparison of Methodology

open access: yesXiehe Yixue Zazhi
Over the past two decades, genome-wide association study(GWAS) has identified numerous genetic variants and loci associated with heritable diseases. With the gradual maturation and saturation of GWAS methodologies, transcriptome-wide association study ...

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.

Identification and validation of novel risk genes for intervertebral disc disorder by integrating large-scale multi-omics analyses and experimental studies

open access: yesFrontiers in Medicine
IntroductionAlthough genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified multiple genetic loci linked to intervertebral disc disorder (IDD), their functional characterization remains largely unelucidated.
