Genome-wide association study identifies 74 loci associated with educational attainment

open access: yesNature, 2016
Educational attainment is strongly influenced by social and other environmental factors, but genetic factors are estimated to account for at least 20% of the variation across individuals.

Replication in Genome-Wide Association Studies

open access: yesStatistical Science, 2009
Replication helps ensure that a genotype-phenotype association observed in a genome-wide association (GWA) study represents a credible association and is not a chance finding or an artifact due to uncontrolled biases. We discuss prerequisites for exact replication, issues of heterogeneity, advantages and disadvantages of different methods of data ...

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.

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 ...

Genome-wide association study and meta-analysis finds over 40 loci affect risk of type 1 diabetes

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2009
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a common autoimmune disorder that arises from the action of multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. We report the findings of a genome-wide association study of T1D, combined in a meta-analysis with two previously ...

A genome-wide association study of aging

open access: yesNeurobiology of Aging, 2011
Human longevity and healthy aging show moderate heritability (20%-50%). We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from 9 studies from the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology Consortium for 2 outcomes: (1) all-cause mortality, and (2) survival free of major disease or death.

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 10,000 loci for common human diseases and traits have been identified by GWAS; and it is hard to think of a methodological breakthrough in recent times that has ...

Genome-wide Association Study for AKI

open access: yesKidney360, 2023
Key Points Two genetic variants in the DISP1-TLR5 gene locus were associated with risk of AKI.DISP1 and TLR5 were differentially regulated in kidney biopsy tissue from patients with AKI compared with no AKI. Background

Genome-wide association study of receptive language ability of 12 year olds [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Purpose: We have previously shown that individual differences in measures of receptive language ability at age 12 are highly heritable. The current study attempted to identify some of the genes responsible for the heritability of receptive language ...

Genome-wide Association Study of Chicken Plumage Pigmentation [PDF]

open access: yesAsian-Australasian Journal of Animal Sciences, 2013
To increase plumage color uniformity and understand the genetic background of Korean chickens, we performed a genome-wide association study of different plumage color in Korean native chickens. We analyzed 60K SNP chips on 279 chickens with GEMMA methods
