Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 and site‐specific cancers: A Mendelian randomization study
Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) is involved in several processes relevant to carcinogenesis. We used 416 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms robustly associated with serum IGF‐1 levels to assess the potential causal associations between this hormone and

Quantile Regression for biomarkers in the UK Biobank
Abstract Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for biomarkers important for clinical phenotypes can lead to clinically relevant discoveries. GWAS for quantitative traits are based on simplified regression models modeling the conditional mean of a phenotype as a linear function of genotype.

Familial Influences on Neuroticism and Education in the UK Biobank [PDF]
Abstract Genome-wide studies often exclude family members, even though they are a valuable source of information. We identified parent–offspring pairs, siblings and couples in the UK Biobank and implemented a family-based DNA-derived heritability method to capture additional genetic effects and multiple sources of environmental ...

UK Biobank's cardiovascular magnetic resonance protocol [PDF]
UK Biobank's ambitious aim is to perform cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in 100,000 people previously recruited into this prospective cohort study of half a million 40-69 year-olds.We describe the CMR protocol applied in UK Biobank's pilot phase, which will be extended into the main phase with three centres using the same equipment and ...
