Phenome-wide association studies (PheWASs) for functional variants. [PDF]
The genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a powerful approach for studying the genetic complexities of human disease. Unfortunately, GWASs often fail to identify clinically significant associations and describing function can be a challenge. GWAS is a phenotype-to-genotype approach.

A phenome-wide association study of ABO blood groups [PDF]
Abstract Background ABO blood group is associated with differences in lifespan, cardiovascular disease, and some cancers, for reasons which are incompletely understood. To gain sex-specific additional insight about potential mechanisms driving these common conditions for future interventions, we characterized ...

Genome-wide association study of hyperthyroidism based on electronic medical record from Taiwan
Excess thyroid hormones have complex metabolic effects, particularly hyperthyroidism, and are associated with various cardiovascular risk factors. Previous candidate gene studies have indicated that genetic variants may contribute to this variable ...

Phenome-Wide Association Studies: Embracing Complexity for Discovery [PDF]
The inherent complexity of biological systems can be leveraged for a greater understanding of the impact of genetic architecture on outcomes, traits, and pharmacological response. The genome-wide association study (GWAS) approach has well-developed methods and relatively straight-forward methodologies; however, the bigger picture of the impact of ...

Application of clinical text data for phenome-wide association studies (PheWASs). [PDF]
Abstract Motivation: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) are effective for describing genetic complexities of common diseases. Phenome-wide association studies (PheWASs) offer an alternative and complementary approach to GWAS using data embedded in the electronic health record (EHR) to define the phenome.

Phenome-Wide Association Study of Actigraphy in the UK Biobank [PDF]
Abstract Wrist-worn accelerometer actigraphy devices present the opportunity for large-scale data collection from people during their daily lives. Using data from approximately 100,000 participants in the UK Biobank, actigraphy-derived measures of physical activity, sleep, and diurnal rhythms were associated in exploration and ...
