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), Phenome-Wide Association Study (PheWAS), and Mendelian Randomization (MR) provide complementary ...

Identification of Alzheimer's disease subtypes and biomarkers from human multi-omics data using subspace merging algorithm. [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a heterogeneous disease with diverse disease progression trajectories and brain pathology. Identifying AD subtypes is essential for understanding AD etiology, heterogeneity, and developing precise treatment. METHODS We applied a subspace‐merging algorithm to integrate multi‐omics data from brain tissues

Realising the full potential of MR-PHeWAS in cancer [PDF]
SummaryMR-PHeWAS is a powerful new design for discovering causal mechanisms between a disease and its many candidate risk factors in a hypothesis-free manner. This technique has great potential in the field of cancer research, provided that both powerful and principled statistical approaches are used.
