KCC2 expression levels are reduced in post mortem brain tissue of Rett syndrome patients
Acta Neuropathologica Communications, 2019 Rett Syndrome (RTT) is a neurodevelopmental disorder caused by mutations in the Methyl CpG binding protein 2 (MECP2) gene. Deficient K+-Cl—co-transporter 2 (KCC2) expression is suggested to play a key role in the neurodevelopmental delay in RTT patients’

An Adaptive and Robust Method for Multi-trait Analysis of Genome-wide Association Studies Using Summary Statistics [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of genetic variants associated with human traits or diseases in the past decade. Nevertheless, much of the heritability of many traits is still unaccounted for. Commonly used single-trait analysis methods are conservative, while multi-trait methods improve statistical power by integrating
