Genetic studies to identify genes underlying menopausal age.
Menopausal age is important as a retrospective marker for ovarian senescence, an early menopausal age is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis, whereas a later menopausal age has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. The worldwide average for age at natural menopause is approximately 51 years and is more or less normally distributed wit...
متن کاملUse of functional genomics to identify candidate genes underlying human genetic association studies of vascular diseases.
Recent genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of genetic loci as being associated with vascular diseases or traits and their risk factors. Many of the loci uncovered represent novel discoveries with no obvious candidate genes and molecular mechanisms, testifying to the complexity of vascular diseases. To understand the functional consequences of genetic variations and help pin...
متن کاملGenetic‐Genomic Replication to Identify Candidate Mouse Atherosclerosis Modifier Genes
OBJECTIVE Genetics plays a large role in atherosclerosis susceptibility in humans and mice. We attempted to confirm previously determined mouse atherosclerosis-associated loci and use bioinformatics and transcriptomics to create a catalog of candidate atherosclerosis modifier genes at these loci. METHODS AND RESULTS A strain intercross was performed between AKR and DBA/2 mice on the apoE(-/-)...
متن کاملFunctional complementation studies identify candidate genes and common genetic variants associated with ovarian cancer survival.
Common germline genetic variation and/or somatic alterations in tumours may be associated with survival in women diagnosed with ovarian cancer. The successful identification of genetic associations relies on a suitable strategy for identifying and testing candidate genes. We used microcell-mediated chromosome transfer approach and expression microarray analysis to identify genes that were assoc...
متن کاملOn Model Selection Strategies to Identify Genes Underlying Binary Traits Using Genome-wide Association Data.
For more fruitful discoveries of genetic variants associated with diseases in genome-wide association studies, it is important to know whether joint analysis of multiple markers is more powerful than the commonly used single-marker analysis, especially in the presence of gene-gene interactions. This article provides a statistical framework to rigorously address this question through analytical ...
