Phenome-Wide Association Study (PheWAS) for Detection of Pleiotropy within the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) Network [PDF]
Using a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) approach, we comprehensively tested genetic variants for association with phenotypes available for 70,061 study participants in the Population Architecture using Genomics and Epidemiology (PAGE) network ...

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 ...

Genome‐Wide Meta‐Analysis of Parkinson's Disease Associated Genetic Loci and Validation of Therapeutic Targets [PDF]
Background To identify genetic loci associated with Parkinson's disease (PD) through a genome‐wide meta‐analysis, to screen for druggable genes significantly linked to PD risk, and evaluate their potential as therapeutic targets. Methods Data from DGIdb,

Clinical implications of bone marrow adiposity identified by phenome-wide association and Mendelian randomization in the UK Biobank [PDF]
Bone marrow adiposity changes in diverse diseases, but the full scope of these, and whether they are directly influenced by marrow adiposity, remains unknown. To address this, we previously measured the bone marrow fat fraction of the femoral head, total

Cross-ancestry genome-wide association studies of liver function biomarkers uncover pleiotropic variants, systemic disease links and therapeutic targets [PDF]
Background Liver function-related quantitative biomarkers (LFQBs) are essential for assessing hepatic health, yet prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have largely studied them in isolation. We conducted cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analyses on seven

Constructing genotype and phenotype network helps reveal disease heritability and phenome-wide association studies [PDF]
Background Analyses of a bipartite Genotype and Phenotype Network (GPN), linking the genetic variants and phenotypes based on statistical associations, provide an integrative approach to elucidate the complexities of genetic relationships across diseases
