Clonal haematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) is associated with many diseases of ageing. Large research initiatives are needed to develop clinical guidelines for the management of individuals with CHIP, and their risk of disease....
Application of the STAAR Framework in Detecting Rare Variant Associations with Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementias: Insights and Implications [0.03%]
STAAR框架在检测与阿尔茨海默病及相关痴呆罕见变异关联中的应用:见解与启示
Dongyu Wang,Sabrina Abbruzzese,Nancy Heard-Costa et al.
Dongyu Wang et al.
Rare genetic variation is considered a potential source of heritability in individuals with sporadic Alzheimer's Disease and related dementias (ADRD). The STAAR framework leverages multiple functional annotations of genetic variants and com...
Variant selection to maximize variance explained in cis-Mendelian randomization [0.03%]
用于顺式孟德尔随机化的方差最大化的变异选择
Ang Zhou,Ville Karhunen,Haodong Tian et al.
Ang Zhou et al.
Optimal selection of instrumental variables (IVs) from a single gene region in cis-Mendelian randomization is challenging as variants are highly correlated due to linkage disequilibrium (LD). Using only the lead variant is convenient but ma...
Germline HLA heterozygosity is associated with decreased lung cancer risk [0.03%]
基因组HLA杂合子与肺癌发病风险降低有关
Taotao Tan,Vikram R Shaw,Jinyoung Byun et al.
Taotao Tan et al.
Heterozygosity at human leukocyte antigen (HLA) loci may improve lung cancer immunosurveillance by increasing recognition of the tumor by the immune system. Previous studies utilizing data from population-level biobanks, such as the United ...
A Large-Scale Genome-wide Association Study of Blood Pressure Accounting for Gene-Depressive Symptomatology Interactions in 564,680 Individuals from Diverse Populations [0.03%]
基于564,680个具有不同背景的人群的全基因组大规模血压相关性研究同时考虑了基因和抑郁症状之间的相互作用关系
Songmi Lee,Clint L Miller,Amy R Bentley et al.
Songmi Lee et al.
Gene-environment interactions may enhance our understanding of blood pressure (BP) biology. We conducted a meta-analysis of multi-population genome-wide association studies of BP traits accounting for gene-depressive symptomatology (DEPR) i...

Unsupervised genome-wide ancestry estimation in unrelated individuals has been a staple in population and medical genetics for decades, and its importance continues to grow with the increasing number of large genetic cohorts of mixed ancest...
EEFSEC Deficiency Underlies a Human Selenopathy with Primary Neurodevelopmental Origins via Midbrain-Hindbrain Hypoplasia [0.03%]
EEFSEC缺乏导致一种以中脑-后脑发育不良为主要表现的新型人类硒缺乏病
Zhiyi Xia,Hui Liu,Pengbo Guo et al.
Zhiyi Xia et al.
Biallelic mutations in EEFSEC, a key factor in selenoprotein synthesis, cause a severe human selenopathy characterized by developmental delay, spasticity, and profound cerebellar atrophy. While previous studies in invertebrate models framed...
