Mendelian randomization highlights significant difference and genetic heterogeneity in clinically diagnosed Alzheimer’s disease GWAS and self-report proxy phenotype GWAX

open access: yesAlzheimer's Research & Therapy, 2022
Background Until now, Mendelian randomization (MR) studies have investigated the causal association of risk factors with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using large-scale AD genome-wide association studies (GWAS), GWAS by proxy (GWAX), and meta-analyses of GWAS

GWAS and drug targets [PDF]

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2014
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed a large number of links between genome variation and complex disease. Among other benefits, it is expected that these insights will lead to new therapeutic strategies, particularly the identification of new drug targets.

Multi-omics integration reveals molecular networks and regulators of psoriasis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BackgroundPsoriasis is a complex multi-factorial disease, involving both genetic susceptibilities and environmental triggers. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) have been carried out to identify genetic ...

Genome-Wide Association Study for Maize Leaf Cuticular Conductance Identifies Candidate Genes Involved in the Regulation of Cuticle Development. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The cuticle, a hydrophobic layer of cutin and waxes synthesized by plant epidermal cells, is the major barrier to water loss when stomata are closed at night and under water-limited conditions.

Genetics of coronary artery disease in the post‐GWAS era

open access: yesJournal of Internal Medicine, 2021
During the past decade, genome‐wide association studies (GWAS) have transformed our understanding of many heritable traits. Three recent large‐scale GWAS meta‐analyses now further markedly expand the knowledge on coronary artery disease (CAD) genetics in

High marks for GWAS [PDF]

open access: yesNature Genetics, 2009
Two genome-wide association studies for testicular cancer report associations at three new loci, including two candidate genes previously implicated in testicular development, KITLG (ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase) and SPRY4 (sprouty 4).

Exploring the phenotypic consequences of tissue specific gene expression variation inferred from GWAS summary statistics

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Scalable, integrative methods to understand mechanisms that link genetic variants with phenotypes are needed. Here we derive a mathematical expression to compute PrediXcan (a gene mapping approach) results using summary data (S-PrediXcan) and show its ...

Systematic genetic analysis of the MHC region reveals mechanistic underpinnings of HLA type associations with disease. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The MHC region is highly associated with autoimmune and infectious diseases. Here we conduct an in-depth interrogation of associations between genetic variation, gene expression and disease.

Within-sibship GWAS improve estimates of direct genetic effects

open access: yesbioRxiv, 2021
Estimates from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) represent a combination of the effect of inherited genetic variation (direct effects), demography (population stratification, assortative mating) and genetic nurture from relatives (indirect genetic ...

GWAS in lung disease [PDF]

open access: yesThorax, 2011
We read with interest the recent article ‘Genome-wide association studies in lung disease’ by Artigas et al. 1 While we agree that a greater understanding of the biological pathways underlying disease development and progression (susceptibility) will be a major outcome from these genetic epidemiological studies, we suggest other benefits may also stem ...
