Profiling phenome-wide associations: a population-based observational study [PDF]
Abstract Objectives To objectively characterize phenome-wide associations observed in the entire Taiwanese population and represent them in a meaningful, interpretable way. Study Design In this population-based observational study, we analyzed 782 million outpatient visits and 15 394 unique phenotypes that were observed in

HCLC-FC: a novel statistical method for phenome-wide association studies
AbstractThe emergence of genetic data coupled to longitudinal electronic medical records (EMRs) offers the possibility of phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS). In PheWAS, the whole phenome can be divided into numerous phenotypic categories according to the genetic architecture across phenotypes.

Genetic studies of abdominal MRI data identify genes regulating hepcidin as major determinants of liver iron concentration [PDF]
Background & Aims: Excess liver iron content is common and is linked to hepatic and extrahepatic disease risk. We aimed to identify genetic variants influencing liver iron content and use genetics to understand its link to other traits and diseases ...

Psychiatric genetics and the structure of psychopathology [PDF]
For over a century, psychiatric disorders have been defined by expert opinion and clinical observation. The modern DSM has relied on a consensus of experts to define categorical syndromes based on clusters of symptoms and signs, and, to some extent ...

A common and unstable copy number variant is associated with differences in Glo1 expression and anxiety-like behavior [PDF]
Glyoxalase 1 (Glo1) has been implicated in anxiety-like behavior in mice and in multiple psychiatric diseases in humans. We used mouse Affymetrix exon arrays to detect copy number variants (CNV) among inbred mouse strains and thereby identified a ...
