Multitrait transcriptome‐wide association study (TWAS) tests

open access: closedGenetic Epidemiology, 2021
AbstractMultitrait tests can improve power to detect associations between individual single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and several related traits. Here, we develop methods for multi‐SNP transcriptome‐wide association (TWAS) tests to test the association between predicted gene expression levels and multiple phenotypes.

Abstract 1591: Large-scale transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) identifies novel candidate susceptibility genes for pancreatic cancer

open access: closedCancer Research, 2019
Abstract Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths in United States with a 5-year survival rate of only 8%. Inherited predisposition plays an important role in PDAC risk. Rare, moderately to highly penetrant mutations in hereditary cancer and pancreatitis genes, identified in families ...

A-TWAS: An aggregated transcriptome-wide association study model incorporating multiple Bayesian priors

open access: closedbioRxiv
AbstractMotivationTranscriptome-wide association study (TWAS) is a significant methodology utilized for identifying associations between genes and diseases by integrating transcriptome and genome-wide association studies (GWAS) data. The approach has been successful in pinpointing risk genes for various diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease ...

A cross-tissue transcriptome-wide association study identifies new susceptibility genes for insomnia.

Journal of Neurophysiology
Background: Despite a significant genetic component to insomnia (heritability: 22-25%), the genetic loci that modulate insomnia risk remain limited. Methods: We employed the Unified Test for Molecular Markers (UTMOST) for transcriptome-wide association ...

A cross-tissue transcriptome-wide association study identified susceptibility genes for age-related macular degeneration

Scientific Reports
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a complex multifactorial disease with a significant genetic component. Despite extensive research efforts, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain elusive, necessitating innovative approaches to identify ...

A cross-tissue transcriptome-wide association study identifies new susceptibility genes for benign prostatic hyperplasia

Scientific Reports
Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a prevalent urinary system disorder. Despite evidence of a significant genetic component from previous studies, the specific pathogenic genes and biological mechanisms are still largely unknown.
