Hope for GWAS: Relevant Risk Genes Uncovered from GWAS Statistical Noise
Hundreds of genetic variants have been associated to common diseases through genome-wide association studies (GWAS), yet there are limits to current approaches in detecting true small effect risk variants against a background of false positive findings. Here we addressed the missing heritability problem, aiming to test whether there are indeed risk variants within GWAS statistical noise and to ...
متن کاملProtein Interaction Networks Reveal Novel Autism Risk Genes within GWAS Statistical Noise
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) thus far met limited success in the identification of common risk variants, consistent with the notion that variants with small individual effects cannot be detected individually in single SNP analysis. To further capture disease risk gene information from ASD association studies, we applied a network-based strategy to th...

That’s interesting. Care to elaborate? Part of the problem in trying to make a movie about real animals is that they aren’t actors. You can write a script — and there was one — but the chimps didn’t always follow it! So, like a good field worker, one had to adapt as the film footage came in and the story line changed. In this day and age of global warming, disease pandemics, and the like, it’s ...
متن کاملDigesting GWAS
nce upon a time, medical genetics was a relaOtively straightforward business: one gene—one protein—one disease was sufficient to explain most inherited disease and was neatly in keeping with Gregor Mendel’s discovery of alleles with his famous peas. The concept remains a good starting point but the biology of life is somewhat more complex, and increasingly we have become impressed and perplexed...
متن کاملSix Degrees of Epistasis: Statistical Network Models for GWAS
There is growing evidence that much more of the genome than previously thought is required to explain the heritability of complex phenotypes. Recent studies have demonstrated that numerous common variants from across the genome explain portions of genetic variability, spawning various avenues of research directed at explaining the remaining heritability. This polygenic structure is also the mot...
