Genome-wide scan in Hispanics highlights candidate loci for brain white matter hyperintensities
OBJECTIVE To investigate genetic variants influencing white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in the understudied Hispanic population. METHODS Using 6.8 million single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify SNPs associated with WMH volume (WMHV) in 922 Hispanics who underwent brain MRI as a cross-section of 2 community-based cohorts in th...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan reveals candidate susceptibility loci for pig hernias in an intercross between White Duroc and Erhualian.
Pig scrotal/inguinal and umbilical hernias are the most prevalent congenital disorders in pigs and often cause animal welfare problems and economic loss. To identify susceptibility loci for these traits, a genome-wide scan with 194 microsatellite markers covering the pig genome was performed in a White Duroc x Erhualian resource population with 23 scrotal/inguinal F(2) animals, 50 umbilical F(2...
متن کاملCandidate-gene analysis of white matter hyperintensities on neuroimaging
BACKGROUND White matter hyperintensities (WMH) are a common radiographic finding and may be a useful endophenotype for small vessel diseases. Given high heritability of WMH, we hypothesised that certain genotypes may predispose individuals to these lesions and consequently, to an increased risk of stroke, dementia and death. We performed a meta-analysis of studies investigating candidate genes ...
متن کاملA genome-wide scan for modifier loci in schizophrenia.
The purpose of this study was to detect genetic loci that influence clinical features of, but not necessarily susceptibility to, psychotic illness. In the Irish Study of High-Density Schizophrenia Families (n = 270 families, n = 1,408 individuals), subjects with non-affective psychosis were rated using the Operational Criteria Checklist for Psychotic Illness. Factor analysis identified hallucin...
متن کاملGenome-wide meta-analysis of cerebral white matter hyperintensities in patients with stroke
OBJECTIVE For 3,670 stroke patients from the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, Belgium, and Italy, we performed a genome-wide meta-analysis of white matter hyperintensity volumes (WMHV) on data imputed to the 1000 Genomes reference dataset to provide insights into disease mechanisms. METHODS We first sought to identify genetic associations with white matter hyperintensities in a strok...
