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…
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…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of genetic variants associated with complex traits, and some variants are shown to be associated with multiple complex traits. Genetic covariance between two traits is defined…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are used to identify relationships between genetic variations and specific traits. When applied to high-dimensional medical imaging data, a key step is to extract lower-dimensional, yet informative…
Exposure mixtures frequently occur in data across many domains, particularly in the fields of environmental and nutritional epidemiology. Various strategies have arisen to answer questions about mixtures, including methods such as weighted…
Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) identify associations between genetic variants and disease; however, moving beyond associations to causal mechanisms is critical for therapeutic target prioritization. The recently proposed Knowledge…
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…
Gene-based testing is a commonly employed strategy in many genetic association studies. Gene-trait associations can be complex due to underlying population heterogeneity, gene-environment interactions, and various other reasons. Existing…
2 Diabetes is a leading worldwide public health concern, and its increasing prevalence has significant health and economic importance in all nations. The condition is a multifactorial disorder with a complex aetiology. The genetic…
Motivation: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs), which assay more than a million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in thousands of individuals, have been widely used to identify genetic risk variants for complex diseases. However,…
Imaging genetic studies aim to find associations between genetic variants and imaging quantitative traits. Traditional genome-wide association studies (GWAS) are based on univariate statistical tests, but when multiple traits are analyzed…
The geographically weighted regression (GWR) is an essential tool for estimating the spatial variation of relationships between dependent and independent variables in geographical contexts. However, GWR suffers from the problem that…
To understand how genetic variants in human genomes manifest in phenotypes -- traits like height or diseases like asthma -- geneticists have sequenced and measured hundreds of thousands of individuals. Geneticists use this data to build…
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…
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.…
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…
Multi-trait genome-wide association studies (GWAS) use multi-variate statistical methods to identify associations between genetic variants and multiple correlated traits simultaneously, and have higher statistical power than independent…
We provide a view on high-dimensional statistical inference for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). It is in part a review but covers also new developments for meta analysis with multiple studies and novel software in terms of an…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) offer new opportunities to identify genetic risk factors for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Recently, collaborative efforts across different institutions emerged that enhance the power of many existing…
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have led to the discovery of numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with various phenotypes and complex diseases. However, the identified genetic variants do not fully explain the…
