Prediction of genetic gain from quadratic optimisation with constrained rates of inbreeding [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
There are selection methods available that allow the optimisation of genetic contributions of selection candidates for maximising the rate of genetic gain while restricting the rate of inbreeding. These methods imply selection on quadratic indices as the

Stratification by Smoking Status Reveals an Association of CHRNA5-A3-B4 Genotype with Body Mass Index in Never Smokers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
We previously used a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in the CHRNA5-A3-B4 gene cluster associated with heaviness of smoking within smokers to confirm the causal effect of smoking in reducing body mass index (BMI) in a Mendelian randomisation analysis.

Circulating Plasma Proteins as Biomarkers for Immunotherapy Toxicity: Insights from Proteome-Wide Mendelian Randomization and Bioinformatics Analysis

open access: yesBiomedicines
Background: Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have transformed cancer treatment, yet severe immune-related adverse events (irAEs) often necessitate immunotherapy discontinuation and cause life-threatening complications.

Evaluating algorithmic approaches to rare disease case-finding: a retrospective validation study using electronic health records

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Accurate and early diagnosis to optimise rare disease care is a global priority. With recent developments in artificial intelligence (AI)-based solutions, a promising area to improve rare disease diagnosis is the application of AI to routinely

A machine learning algorithm for the detection of paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH) in UK primary care electronic health records

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Paroxysmal Nocturnal Haemoglobinuria (PNH) is an ultra-rare, acquired disorder that is challenging to diagnose due to varied symptoms, heterogeneous patient presentations, and lack of awareness among healthcare professionals.
