Implicating genes, pleiotropy, and sexual dimorphism at blood lipid loci through multi-ancestry meta-analysis

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2022
Background Genetic variants within nearly 1000 loci are known to contribute to modulation of blood lipid levels. However, the biological pathways underlying these associations are frequently unknown, limiting understanding of these findings and hindering

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,

Syringohydromyelia in Dogs: The Genomic Component Underlying a Complex Neurological Disease

open access: yesAnimals, 2022
Syringohydromyelia (SHM) is a neurological disorder characterized by the appearance of fluid-containing cavities within the spinal cord. Although SHM is thought to be under multigenic control, the molecular basis of this disease remains poorly defined. A
