Phenome-wide association study on miRNA-related sequence variants: the UK Biobank [PDF]
Background Genetic variants in the coding region could directly affect the structure and expression levels of genes and proteins. However, the importance of variants in the non-coding region, such as microRNAs (miRNAs), remain to be elucidated.

Polygenic risk score phenome-wide association study reveals an association between endometriosis and testosterone [PDF]
Background Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women, yet it is poorly understood with long diagnostic delays, invasive diagnoses, and poor treatment outcomes. Characterised by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside of the uterus, its main symptoms are

Sex-specific Mendelian randomization phenome-wide association study of basal metabolic rate [PDF]
Observationally, higher basal metabolic rate (BMR) is associated with metabolism-related disorders, cancer, aging, and mortality. In this Mendelian randomization (MR) phenome-wide association study, using two-sample MR methods, we systematically and ...

A sex-specific Mendelian randomization-phenome-wide association study of body mass index [PDF]
Background: Trials of incretins are making it increasingly clear that body mass index (BMI) is linked to several diseases throughout life, but trials cannot easily provide a comprehensive assessment of the role of BMI in health-related attributes for men
