Joint mouse–human phenome-wide association to test gene function and disease risk
Phenome-wide association is a novel method that links sequence variants to a spectrum of phenotypes and diseases. Here the authors generate detailed mouse genetic and phenome data which links their phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) of mouse to ...

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

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.

Phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) in EMR-linked pediatric cohorts
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 ...

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

Phenome-wide association studies across large population cohorts support drug target validation [PDF]
Testing the association between genetic variants and a range of phenotypes can assist drug development. Here, in a phenome-wide association study in up to 697,815 individuals, Diogo et al.

A phenome-wide association study of polygenic scores for selected childhood cancer: Results from the UK Biobank [PDF]
Summary: The aim of this study was to scan phenotypes in adulthood associated with polygenic risk scores (PRS) for childhood cancers with well-articulated genetic architectures—acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), Ewing sarcoma, and neuroblastoma—to ...

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.
