Exploring Contraindicated Medications and Corresponding Targeted Genes for Migraine Through Integrated Genetic Approaches. [PDF]

open access: yesBrain Behav
To systematically identify risk medications for migraine and its subtypes, we integrated GWAS data for 23 medications with GWASs of migraine and its subtypes to conduct causal inference. We then combined plasma eQTLs with drug‐target databases to map putative targets of the risk medications and validated causal relationships using colocalization and ...

A Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Identifies Candidate Susceptibility Loci and Genes for Lung Cancer Risk. [PDF]

open access: yesCancer Med
A transcriptome‐wide association study identified 40 genes associated with the risk of lung cancer, leveraging gene expression and genotype data from the Genotype‐Tissue Expression (GTEx) project and summary statistics of a genome‐wide association study on lung cancer.

Transcriptome-wide association studies: recent advances in methods, applications and available databases

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Genome-wide association study has identified fruitful variants impacting heritable traits. Nevertheless, identifying critical genes underlying those significant variants has been a great task.

Dissecting the genetic heterogeneity of gastric cancerResearch in context

open access: yesEBioMedicine, 2023
Summary: Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is clinically heterogenous according to location (cardia/non-cardia) and histopathology (diffuse/intestinal). We aimed to characterize the genetic risk architecture of GC according to its subtypes.

A Transcriptome-Wide Association Study (TWAS) Identifies Novel Candidate Susceptibility Genes for Pancreatic Cancer.

open access: yesJournal of the National Cancer Institute, 2020
BACKGROUND Although 20 pancreatic cancer susceptibility loci have been identified through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in individuals of European ancestry, much of its heritability remains unexplained and the genes responsible largely unknown.

Population-Matched Transcriptome Prediction Increases TWAS Discovery and Replication Rate

open access: yesiScience, 2020
Summary: Most genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) focus on European populations; however, these results cannot always be accurately applied to non-European populations due to genetic architecture ...

MiXcan: a framework for cell-type-aware transcriptome-wide association studies with an application to breast cancer

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Conventional transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) approaches predict genetically regulated gene expression at the tissue level. Here, the authors develop a framework for cell-type-aware TWAS that predicts cell-type level expression from genotype ...

Novel Variance-Component TWAS method for studying complex human diseases with applications to Alzheimer's dementia.

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2021
Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) have been widely used to integrate transcriptomic and genetic data to study complex human diseases. Within a test dataset lacking transcriptomic data, traditional two-stage TWAS methods first impute gene ...

Genome-wide and transcriptome-wide association studies of mammographic density phenotypes reveal novel loci

open access: yesBreast Cancer Research, 2022
Background Mammographic density (MD) phenotypes, including percent density (PMD), area of dense tissue (DA), and area of non-dense tissue (NDA), are associated with breast cancer risk. Twin studies suggest that MD phenotypes are highly heritable. However,

Alternative polyadenylation transcriptome-wide association study identifies APA-linked susceptibility genes in brain disorders

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) plays an essential role in brain development; however, current transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) largely overlook APA in nominating susceptibility genes.
