Transcriptome-wide association study of inflammatory biologic age
Chronic low grade inflammation is a fundamental mechanism of aging. We estimated biologic age using nine biomarkers from diverse inflammatory pathways and we hypothesized that genes associated with inflammatory biological age would provide insights into human aging. In Framingham Offspring Study participants at examination 8 (2005 to 2008), we used the

Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Reveals Two Genes that Influence Mismatch Negativity [PDF]
Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a differential electrophysiological response measuring cortical adaptability to unpredictable stimuli. MMN is consistently attenuated in patients with psychosis. However, the genetics of MMN are uncharted, limiting the validation of MMN as a psychosis endophenotype. Here, we perform a transcriptome-wide association study of

Antagonistic and cooperative AGO2-PUM interactions in regulating mRNAs. [PDF]
Approximately 1500 RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) profoundly impact mammalian cellular function by controlling distinct sets of transcripts, often using sequence-specific binding to 3' untranslated regions (UTRs) to regulate mRNA stability and translation ...

TWAS Atlas: a curated knowledgebase of transcriptome-wide association studies
Abstract Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWASs), as a practical and prevalent approach for detecting the associations between genetically regulated genes and traits, are now leading to a better understanding of the complex mechanisms of genetic variants in regulating various diseases and traits.

Genetic regulation of mouse liver metabolite levels. [PDF]
We profiled and analyzed 283 metabolites representing eight major classes of molecules including Lipids, Carbohydrates, Amino Acids, Peptides, Xenobiotics, Vitamins and Cofactors, Energy Metabolism, and Nucleotides in mouse liver of 104 inbred and ...

Cross-tissue transcriptome-wide association study reveals novel psoriasis susceptibility genes. [PDF]
Psoriasis is a chronic, immune-mediated inflammatory skin disorder with a strong genetic component. Although numerous GWAS have identified risk loci, many associated variants lie in non-coding regions, complicating functional interpretation.This study aimed to identify novel psoriasis susceptibility genes by integrating large-scale GWAS and eQTL data ...
