Integrative Analysis of Transcriptome-Wide Association Study and mRNA Expression Profiles Identifies Candidate Genes Associated With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Frontiers in Genetics, 2020
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a type of scarring lung disease characterized by a chronic, progressive, and irreversible decline in lung function. The genetic basis of IPF remains elusive.

Unraveling Novel Genetic Determinants of Thiopurine Response Via TWAS. [PDF]

Clin Pharmacol Ther
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most common childhood cancer. Thiopurines such as 6‐mercaptopurine (6MP) are essential in ALL maintenance therapy. However, dose‐limiting toxicities can significantly disrupt treatment. While genetic variants in TPMT and NUDT15 are known to affect thiopurine response, many patients with normal function ...

Transcriptome-wide association study of schizophrenia and chromatin activity yields mechanistic disease insights [PDF]

, 2018
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 100 risk loci for schizophrenia, but the causal mechanisms remain largely unknown. We performed a transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) integrating a schizophrenia GWAS of 79,845 ...

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

Nature 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 ...

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

Nature Communications, 2023
Alternative polyadenylation (APA) contributes to the post-transcriptional regulation of most human genes, yet the effects of APA are largely overlooked by conventional transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS).

Identifying Environmental Endocrine Disruptors Associated With the Age at Menarche by Integrating a Transcriptome-Wide Association Study With Chemical-Gene-Interaction Analysis

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
Menarche is the first occurrence of menstrual bleeding and one of the most important events of female puberty. Alarmingly, over the last several decades, the mean age at menarche (AAM) has decreased.

A Cross-Tissue Transcriptome-Wide Association Study Identifies Novel Susceptibility Genes for Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis in Asia and Europe

Frontiers in Immunology, 2022
BackgroundJuvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common rheumatic disease in children, and its pathogenesis is still unclear. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of JIA have identified hundreds of risk factors, but few of them implicated ...
