Using a genome-wide association study, we found that common inter-individual differences in haemoglobin A(2) (HbA(2) , α(2) δ(2) ) levels are largely governed by genetic factors (42% of variability). The influence of age (1%) and sex (4%) was small. HbA(2) levels were influenced by two loci: the HBS1L-MYB locus on chromosome 6q, which has been shown to have pleiotropic effects on other haemat...
This review summarizes current research on the genetics of insomnia, as genetic contributions are thought to be important for insomnia etiology. We begin by providing an overview of genetic methods (both quantitative and measured gene), followed by a discussion of the insomnia genetics literature with regard to each of the following common methodologies: twin and family studies, candidate gene ...
This primer provides some background to help non-specialists understand a new theoretical evolutionary genetics study that helps explain why thousands of variants of small effect contribute to complex traits.
Epigenome modulation potentially provides a mechanism for organisms to adapt, within and between generations. However, neither the extent to which this occurs, nor the mechanisms involved are known. Here we investigate DNA methylation variation in Swedish Arabidopsis thaliana accessions grown at two different temperatures. Environmental effects were limited to transposons, where CHH methylation...
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have become the method of choice for investigating the genetic basis of common diseases and complex traits. The immense scale of these experiments is unprecedented, involving thousands of samples and up to a million variables. The careful execution of exploratory data analysis (EDA) prior to the actual genotype-phenotype association analysis is crucial as ...
In genome-wide association studies, results have been improved through imputation of a denser marker set based on reference haplotypes and phasing of the genotype data. To better handle very large sets of reference haplotypes, pre-phasing with only study individuals has been suggested. We present a possible problem which is aggravated when pre-phasing strategies are used, and suggest a modifica...
Childhood general cognitive ability (g) is important for a wide range of outcomes in later life, from school achievement to occupational success and life expectancy. Large-scale association studies will be essential in the quest to identify variants that make up the substantial genetic component implicated by quantitative genetic studies. We conducted a three-stage genome-wide association study...
In the present review, we look back at the recent history of GWAS (genome-wide association studies) in AD (Alzheimer's disease) and integrate the major findings with current knowledge of biological processes and pathways. These topics are essential for the development of animal models, which will be fundamental to our complete understanding of AD.
High-penetrance mutations in a small group of genes have been identified as the causal agent of colorectal cancer (CRC) in high-risk families. Our understanding of the sporadic cases is, however, much more limited and only in the past two years have multicentric genome-wide association studies (GWAS) started to unravel the complex genetic architecture behind this common forms. To date, ten loci...
