A genome-wide association study of marginal zone lymphoma shows association to the HLA region
(Nature Pub. Group, 2015)Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) is the third most common subtype of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Here we perform a two-stage GWAS of 1,281 MZL cases and 7,127 controls of European ancestry and identify two independent loci ... -
A genome-wide association study of plasma total IgE concentrations in the Framingham Heart Study
(Elsevier BV, 2012)Background— Atopy and plasma IgE concentration are genetically complex traits, and the specific genetic risk factors that lead to IgE dysregulation and clinical atopy are an area of active investigation. Objective— To ... -
Genome-wide Association Study of Prostate Cancer Mortality
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2010)Background: A pressing clinical issue in prostate cancer is to distinguish which men will have an indolent or aggressive course of disease. Clinical variables such as Gleason grade and stage are useful predictors of lethal ... -
Genome-wide association study of prostate cancer-specific survival
(American Association for Cancer Research, 2015)Background: Unnecessary intervention and overtreatment of indolent disease are common challenges in clinical management of prostate cancer. Improved tools to distinguish lethal from indolent disease are critical. Methods: ... -
A Genome-Wide Association Study of Pulmonary Function Measures in the Framingham Heart Study
(Public Library of Science, 2009)The ratio of forced expiratory volume in one second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) is a measure used to diagnose airflow obstruction and is highly heritable. We performed a genome-wide association study in 7,691 ... -
Genome-wide association study of selenium concentrations
(Oxford University Press, 2015)Selenium (Se) is an essential trace element in human nutrition, but its role in certain health conditions, particularly among Se sufficient populations, is controversial. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of blood Se ... -
Genome-Wide Association Study of Survival in Patients with Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma
(BMJ Publishing Group, 2014)Background: and objective Survival of patients with pancreatic adenocarcinoma is limited and few prognostic factors are known. We conducted a two-stage genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify germline variants ... -
Genome-wide association study of susceptibility loci for breast cancer in Sardinian population
(BioMed Central, 2015)Background: Despite progress in identifying genes associated with breast cancer, many more risk loci exist. Genome-wide association analyses in genetically-homogeneous populations, such as that of Sardinia (Italy), could ... -
Genome-wide association study of the age of onset of childhood asthma
(Elsevier BV, 2012)BACKGROUND: Childhood asthma is a complex disease with known heritability and phenotypic diversity. Although an earlier onset has been associated with more severe disease, there has been no genome-wide association study ... -
Genome-wide association study of Tourette Syndrome
(2012)Tourette Syndrome (TS) is a developmental disorder that has one of the highest familial recurrence rates among neuropsychiatric diseases with complex inheritance. However, the identification of definitive TS susceptibility ... -
A genome-wide association study of upper aerodigestive tract cancers conducted within the INHANCE consortium
(Public Library of Science, 2011)Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been successful in identifying common genetic variation involved in susceptibility to etiologically complex disease. We conducted a GWAS to identify common genetic variation ... -
Genome-wide association study on serum alkaline phosphatase levels in a Chinese population
(BioMed Central, 2013)Background: Serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a complex phenotype influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Recent Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified several loci affecting ALP levels; ... -
Genome-wide association study reveals class I MHC–restricted T cell–associated molecule gene (CRTAM) variants interact with vitamin D levels to affect asthma exacerbations
(Elsevier BV, 2012)Background— It has recently been shown that vitamin D deficiency can increase asthma development and severity and that variations in vitamin D receptor genes are associated with asthma susceptibility. Objective— We sought ... -
Genome-wide common and rare variant analysis provides novel insights into clozapine-associated neutropenia
(2016)The antipsychotic clozapine is uniquely effective in the management of schizophrenia, but its use is limited by its potential to induce agranulocytosis. The causes of this, and of its precursor neutropenia, are largely ... -
A genome-wide cross-trait analysis from UK Biobank highlights the shared genetic architecture of asthma and allergic diseases
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2018-05-21)Clinical and epidemiological data suggest that asthma and allergic diseases are associated and may share a common genetic etiology. We analyzed genome-wide SNP data for asthma and allergic diseases in 33,593 cases and ... -
Genome-Wide Diet-Gene Interaction Analyses for Risk of Colorectal Cancer
(Public Library of Science, 2014)Dietary factors, including meat, fruits, vegetables and fiber, are associated with colorectal cancer; however, there is limited information as to whether these dietary factors interact with genetic variants to modify risk ... -
Genome-Wide Diversity in the Levant Reveals Recent Structuring by Culture
(Public Library of Science, 2013)The Levant is a region in the Near East with an impressive record of continuous human existence and major cultural developments since the Paleolithic period. Genetic and archeological studies present solid evidence placing ... -
Genome-wide enrichment analysis between endometriosis and obesity-related traits reveals novel susceptibility loci
(2015)Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition in women that results in pelvic pain and subfertility, and has been associated with decreased body mass index (BMI). Genetic variants contributing to the heritable component ... -
Genome-wide expression profiles identify potential targets for gene-environment interactions in asthma severity
(Elsevier BV, 2015)Background: Gene by environment interaction (G × E) studies utilizing GWAS data are often underpowered after adjustment for multiple comparisons. Differential gene expression, in response to the exposure of interest, may ... -
