One of the most important challenges in the analysis of high-throughput genetic data is the development of efficient computational methods to identify statistically significant Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs). Genome-wide association…
With the recent advent of high-throughput genotyping techniques, genetic data for genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become increasingly available, which entails the development of efficient and effective statistical approaches.…
The aetiology of polygenic obesity is multifactorial, which indicates that life-style and environmental factors may influence multiples genes to aggravate this disorder. Several low-risk single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have been…
Genome Wide Association Studies (GWAS) are used to identify statistically significant genetic variants in case-control studies. GWAS typically use a p-value threshold of 5 x 10-8 to identify highly ranked single nucleotide polymorphisms…
A computationally simple genome-wide association study (GWAS) algorithm for estimating the main and epistatic effects of markers or single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) is proposed. It is based on the intuitive assumption that changes of…
Genome-Wide Association Studies are typically conducted using linear models to find genetic variants associated with common diseases. In these studies, association testing is done on a variant-by-variant basis, possibly missing out on…
Genome-wide association studies, in which as many as a million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) are measured on several thousand samples, are quickly becoming a common type of study for identifying genetic factors associated with many…
Taking advantages of high-throughput genotyping technology of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), large genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been considered as the promise to unravel the complex relationships between genotypes and…
In this paper, association results from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are combined with a deep learning framework to test the predictive capacity of statistically significant single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) associated with…
Despite significant progress in dissecting the genetic architecture of complex diseases by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), the signals identified by association analysis may not have specific pathological relevance to diseases so…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involving increasing sample sizes have identified hundreds of genetic variants associated with complex diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (T2D); however, it is unclear how GWAS hits form unique…
Genome-wide association studies(GWAS) have proven to be highly useful in revealing the genetic basis of complex diseases. At present, most GWAS are studies of a particular single disease diagnosis against controls. However, in practice, an…
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) help identify genetic variations in people with diseases such as Parkinson's disease (PD), which are less common in those without the disease. Thus, GWAS data can be used to identify genetic variations…
Interactions among multiple genes across the genome may contribute to the risks of many complex human diseases. Whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data collected for many thousands of SNP markers from thousands of…
For the vast majority of genome wide association studies (GWAS) published so far, statistical analysis was performed by testing markers individually. In this article we present some elementary statistical considerations which clearly show…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of loci at very stringent levels of statistical significance across many different human traits. However, it is now clear that very large samples (n~10^4-10^5) are needed to…
Disease-gene association through Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is an arduous task for researchers. Investigating single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that correlate with specific diseases needs statistical analysis of associations.…
A large amount of research has been devoted to the detection and investigation of epistatic interactions in genome-wide association studies (GWASs). Most of the literature focuses on low-order interactions between single-nucleotide…
The paramount importance of replicating associations is well recognized in the genome-wide associaton (GWA) research community, yet methods for assessing replicability of associations are scarce. Published GWA studies often combine…
Combining data from several case-control genome-wide association (GWA) studies can yield greater efficiency for detecting associations of disease with single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) than separate analyses of the component studies.…
