Methodology in phenome-wide association studies: a systematic review [PDF]
Phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) has been increasingly used to identify novel genetic associations across a wide spectrum of phenotypes. This systematic review aims to summarise the PheWAS methodology, discuss the advantages and challenges of PheWAS, and provide potential implications for future PheWAS studies.

A phenome-wide association study of genetically mimicked statins [PDF]
Background Beyond their success in cardiovascular disease prevention, statins are increasingly recognized to have sex-specific pleiotropic effects. To gain additional insight, we characterized associations of genetically mimicked statins across the ...

A phenome-wide association study of uterine fibroids reveals a marked burden of comorbidities. [PDF]
Abstract Background The burden of comorbidities in those with uterine fibroids compared to those without fibroids is understudied. We performed a phenome-wide association study to systematically assess the association between fibroids and other conditions.

Phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) in EMR-linked pediatric cohorts [PDF]
Objective: We report the first pediatric specific Phenome-Wide Association Study (PheWAS) using electronic medical records (EMRs). Given the early success of PheWAS in adult populations, we investigated the feasibility of this approach in pediatric ...

Polygenic risk score-based phenome-wide association study identifies novel associations for Tourette syndrome. [PDF]
Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by vocal and motor tics lasting more than a year. It is highly polygenic in nature with both rare and common previously associated variants.

A deep learning phenome wide association study of the electrocardiogram. [PDF]
Abstract Aims Deep learning methods have shown impressive performance in detecting a range of diseases from electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms, but the breadth of diseases that can be detected with high accuracy remains unknown, and in many cases the changes to the ECG allowing these classifications ...

Phenome-wide association study and functional annotation of hemoglobin A1c-associated variants in African populations. [PDF]
Background Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) measures the average blood sugar level over the past three months. As a vital biomarker of blood glucose levels, it is used to diagnose Type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and monitor glycemic control.
