Cross-population Transcriptome Prediction Models for Transcriptome-Wide Association Studies in Diverse Populations

open access: yes, 2022
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been utilized to find associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and traits. However, most GWAS are conducted on populations of European ancestries. Further analysis involving the transcriptome

Pleiotropy-guided transcriptome imputation from normal and tumor tissues identifies candidate susceptibility genes for breast and ovarian cancer

open access: yesHGG Advances, 2021
Summary: Familial, sequencing, and genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and genetic correlation analyses have progressively unraveled the shared or pleiotropic germline genetics of breast and ovarian cancer.

Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies Novel Restless Legs Syndrome Susceptibility Loci on 2p14 and 16q12.1 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sensorimotor disorder with an age-dependent prevalence of up to 10% in the general population above 65 years of age. Affected individuals suffer from uncomfortable sensations and an urge to move in the lower limbs that ...

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Ligand‐dependent transcriptional heterogeneity in cell cycle gene expression delays G1/S entry

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
EGF and HRG induce distinct G1/S progression programs in ErbB2‐amplified BT474 breast cancer cells. Despite activating the potent ErbB2–ErbB3 heterodimer, HRG does not accelerate cell‐cycle entry. Instead, EGF promotes earlier restriction‐point passage via ERK–FOS signaling, whereas HRG activates the AKT–MYC axis, driving transcriptional heterogeneity ...

Disentangling genetic feature selection and aggregation in transcriptome-wide association studies

open access: yesGenetics, 2021
Abstract The success of transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) has led to substantial research toward improving the predictive accuracy of its core component of genetically regulated expression (GReX). GReX links expression information with genotype and phenotype by playing two roles simultaneously: it acts as both the outcome ...

Genome-wide association study identifies a variant in HDAC9 associated with large vessel ischemic stroke [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Genetic factors have been implicated in stroke risk, but few replicated associations have been reported. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for ischemic stroke and its subtypes in 3,548 affected individuals and 5,972 controls, all of ...

‘Guide and Prejudice’— How Argonautes recognize targets across domains of life

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Argonaute proteins use short nucleic‐acid guides to locate and regulate specific targets across all domains of life. Despite striking diversity—from human gene silencing to bacterial immune defence—all Argonautes share a conserved three‐stage recognition logic: guide‐directed sampling, progressive target pairing with a conformational checkpoint and ...

A splicing transcriptome-wide association study identifies novel altered splicing for Alzheimer's disease susceptibility

open access: yesNeurobiology of Disease, 2023
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease in aging individuals. Alternative splicing is reported to be relevant to AD development while their roles in etiology of AD remain largely elusive.
