Transcriptome-wide association study reveals increased neuronal FLT3 expression is associated with Tourette’s syndrome

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2022
Calwing Liao and Veikko Vuokila et al. report a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) of Tourette’s Syndrome. They find increased expression of FLT3 in the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex and the lymphoblastoid cell lines in patients with Tourette’s

A cross-tissue transcriptome association study identifies key genes in essential hypertension

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2023
Genome-wide association study (GWAS) have identified over 1,000 loci associated with blood pressure. However, these loci only explain 6% of heritability. Transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) combine GWAS summary data with expression quantitative

Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Provides Insights Into the Genetic Component of Gene Expression in Anxiety

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
Anxiety disorders are common mental disorders that often result in disability. Recently, large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified several novel risk variants and loci for anxiety disorders (or anxiety traits). Nevertheless, how

Multi-tissue transcriptome-wide association studies. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
A transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) attempts to identify disease associated genes by imputing gene expression into a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using an expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) data set and then testing for ...

Large-scale transcriptome-wide association study identifies new prostate cancer risk regions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genomic risk regions for prostate cancer. Here, the authors perform a transcriptome wide association study (TWAS) by incorporating prostate cancer GWAS with gene expression data to ...

Power Analysis of Transcriptome-Wide Association Studies (TWAS)

open access: yes, 2020
Association studies between genetic variants and complex traits are popular and valuable in both genetic and clinical fields. Among all kinds of studies proposed, transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS) have become influential and widely used. In my thesis, I focus on revealing under which settings of genetic parameters and architectures, TWAS ...

­­­­Transcriptome-Wide Association Supplements Genome-Wide Association in Zea mays [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Modern improvement of complex traits in agricultural species relies on successful associations of heritable molecular variation with observable phenotypes. Historically, this pursuit has primarily been based on easily measurable genetic markers.

Assigning function to genome wide association study variants associated with complex gastrointestinal disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
PhDThe genome‐wide association study era has identified numerous loci associated with many common polygenic diseases. The next challenge is to identify the functional consequences of these variants and elicit how they impact on disease risk.
