Improving reporting standards for polygenic scores in risk prediction studies
H Wand, SA Lambert, C Tamburro, MA Iacocca… - Nature, 2021 - nature.com
Polygenic risk scores (PRSs), which often aggregate results from genome-wide association
studies, can bridge the gap between initial discovery efforts and clinical applications for the …

Methodological challenges in mendelian randomization
We give critical attention to the assumptions underlying Mendelian randomization analysis
and their biological plausibility. Several scenarios violating the Mendelian randomization …

Exploiting gene-environment interaction to detect genetic associations
Complex disease by definition results from the interplay of genetic and environmental
factors. However, it is currently unclear how gene-environment interaction can best be used …

Twelve type 2 diabetes susceptibility loci identified through large-scale association analysis
By combining genome-wide association data from 8,130 individuals with type 2 diabetes
(T2D) and 38,987 controls of European descent and following up previously unidentified …

Hundreds of variants clustered in genomic loci and biological pathways affect human height
H Lango Allen, K Estrada, G Lettre, SI Berndt… - Nature, 2010 - nature.com
Most common human traits and diseases have a polygenic pattern of inheritance: DNA
sequence variants at many genetic loci influence the phenotype. Genome-wide association …

Meta-analysis identifies 13 new loci associated with waist-hip ratio and reveals sexual dimorphism in the genetic basis of fat distribution
Waist-hip ratio (WHR) is a measure of body fat distribution and a predictor of metabolic
consequences independent of overall adiposity. WHR is heritable, but few genetic variants …

Genetic variants associated with subjective well-being, depressive symptoms, and neuroticism identified through genome-wide analyses
Very few genetic variants have been associated with depression and neuroticism, likely
because of limitations on sample size in previous studies. Subjective well-being, a …

A genome-wide association study identifies alleles in FGFR2 associated with risk of sporadic postmenopausal breast cancer
We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of breast cancer by genotyping
528,173 SNPs in 1,145 postmenopausal women of European ancestry with invasive breast …

Association studies of up to 1.2 million individuals yield new insights into the genetic etiology of tobacco and alcohol use
Tobacco and alcohol use are leading causes of mortality that influence risk for many
complex diseases and disorders. They are heritable, and etiologically related, behaviors that …
