PheWAS analysis on large-scale biobank data with PheTK
SUMMARY With the rapid growth of genetic data linked to electronic health record data in huge cohorts, large-scale phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) have become powerful discovery tools in biomedical research.

Neuroimaging PheWAS and molecular phenotyping implicate PSMC3 in Alzheimer’s Disease
INTRODUCTION: Neuroimaging genetics have advanced Alzheimer's disease (AD) research, yet frameworks mechanistically connecting genes to neurological outcomes via functional genomics are needed to elucidate genetic associations. To address this challenge,

PHEWAS, TWAS, Mendelian Randomization in Osteoporosis Research: the good, the bad, and the ugly. [PDF]
Purpose of review While GWAS has identified many loci associated with bone mineral density (BMD), translating these findings into functional insights and treatments remains challenging. Post-GWAS methods such as Transcriptome-Wide Association Study (TWAS)

EA-PheWAS: Integrating Phenotype Embeddings with PheWAS for Enhanced Gene-Phenotype Discovery
Phenome-wide association studies (PheWAS) enable systematic exploration of relationships between genetic variants and clinical phenotypes derived from electronic health records (EHRs). Conventional regression-based PheWAS treats phenotypes separately and

Psychiatric manifestations of rare variation in medically actionable genes: a PheWAS approach
Background As genomic sequencing moves closer to clinical implementation, there has been an increasing acceptance of returning incidental findings to research participants and patients for mutations in highly penetrant, medically actionable genes.

SAIGEgds - an efficient statistical tool for large-scale PheWAS with mixed models
SUMMARY Phenome-wide association studies (PheWASs) are known to be a powerful tool in discovery and replication of genetic association studies. To reduce the computational burden of PheWAS in the large cohorts such as the UK Biobank, the SAIGE method has

A cross-disorder PRS-pheWAS of 5 major psychiatric disorders in UK Biobank [PDF]
Psychiatric disorders are highly heritable and associated with a wide variety of social adversity and physical health problems. Using genetic liability (rather than phenotypic measures of disease) as a proxy for psychiatric disease risk can be a useful ...
