The ENIGMA Consortium: large-scale collaborative analyses of neuroimaging and genetic data
(Springer US, 2014)The Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium is a collaborative network of researchers working together on a range of large-scale studies that integrate data from 70 institutions worldwide. ... -
Evolutionary Adaptation and Antimalarial Resistance in Plasmodium falciparum
(2013-10-14)The malaria parasite, Plasmodium falciparum, has a demonstrated history of adaptation to antimalarials and host immune pressure. This ability unraveled global eradication programs fifty years ago and seriously threatens ... -
FALCON systematically interrogates FFA biology and identifies new mediators of lipotoxicity
(2023-02-28)Cellular vulnerability to free fatty acids (FFA) is implicated in the modern epidemic of obesity and its sequelae, including type 2 diabetes (T2D). However, studies to date have assumed that a few select FFAs are representative ... -
Genetic and Functional Studies of Non-Coding Variants in Human Disease
(2013-03-08)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of common diseases have identified hundreds of genomic regions harboring disease-associated variants. Translating these findings into an improved understanding of human disease requires ... -
Genetic research in autism spectrum disorders
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2015)Purpose of review The recent explosion of genetic findings in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) research has improved knowledge of the disorder's underlying biology and etiologic architecture. This review introduces concepts ... -
Hypothesis Testing in GWAS and Statistical Issues with Compensation in Clinical Trials
(2013-09-27)We first show theoretically and in simulation how power varies as a function of SNP correlation structure with currently-implemented gene-based testing methods. We propose alternative testing methods whose power does not ... -
Integrative Statistical Methods for Multi-omics Data
(2020-11-23)Multi-omics data including the genome, epigenome, transcriptome, metabolome, etc., each provides information for a unique aspect of human health. Integrating them together provides new aspects that would not be available ... -
Investigating the contribution of rare coding variants to human complex traits
(2022-05-11)Exome association studies to date have generally been underpowered to systematically evaluate the phenotypic impact of very rare coding variants. We leveraged extensive haplotype sharing between 50K exome-sequenced UK ... -
Mapping Novel Pathways in Cardiovascular Disease Using eQTL Data: The Past, Present, and Future of Gene Expression Analysis
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2013)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic variants associated with numerous cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Newly identified polymorphisms associated with myocardial infarction, dyslipidemia, ... -
Methods for Multiple Phenotype—Multiple Genotype Testing and for COVID-19 Spread Modeling
(2022-03-17)The increasing popularity of large-scale biobank data has driven a recent interest in (1) testing sets of genotypes against a single phenotype and (2) testing sets of phenotypes against a single genotype. Incorporating the ... -
Polygenic architecture of human body size and proportion
(2023-11-21)Over the last 15 years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered thousands of genetic associations with human phenotypes. However, as most of these associations lie in non-coding regions and are typically ... -
The Promises and Pitfalls of Genoeconomics
(Annual Reviews, 2012)This article reviews existing research at the intersection of genetics and economics, presents some new findings that illustrate the state of genoeconomics research, and surveys the prospects of this emerging field. Twin ... -
The Proteomic Landscape of Human Disease: Construction and Evaluation of Networks Associated to Complex Traits
(2012-11-15)Genetic mapping of complex traits has been successful over the last decade, with over 2,000 regions in the genome associated to disease. Yet, the translation of these findings into a better understanding of disease biology ... -
Statistical Approaches for Next-Generation Sequencing Data
(2013-03-14)During the last two decades, genotyping technology has advanced rapidly, which enabled the tremendous success of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in the search of disease susceptibility loci (DSLs). However, only a ... -
The functional effects and fitness consequences of GWAS loci
(2024-03-12)In the past 20 years, genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of thousands of genetic loci linked to human traits. Examining these genetic associations can reveal both the molecular mechanisms contributing ...
