BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies have identified common genetic risk variants in many loci associated with multiple cancers. We sought to systematically evaluate the utility of these risk variants in identifying high-risk individuals for eight common cancers.METHODS: We constructed polygenic...

On the Use of the Lasso for Instrumental Variables Estimation with Some Invalid Instruments.

Journal of the American Statistical Association

Windmeijer F, Farbmacher H, Davies N, Davey Smith G.
PMID: 31708716
J Am Stat Assoc. 2018 Nov 13;114(527):1339-1350. doi: 10.1080/01621459.2018.1498346. eCollection 2019.

We investigate the behavior of the Lasso for selecting invalid instruments in linear instrumental variables models for estimating causal effects of exposures on outcomes, as proposed recently by Kang et al. Invalid instruments are such that they fail the...

Platelet Measurements and Type 2 Diabetes: Investigations in Two Population-Based Cohorts.

Frontiers in cardiovascular medicine

Rodriguez BAT, Johnson AD.
PMID: 32754618
Front Cardiovasc Med. 2020 Jul 10;7:118. doi: 10.3389/fcvm.2020.00118. eCollection 2020.

Type 2 diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Given the contribution of platelets to atherothrombosis-which in turn is a major contributor to cardiac events, there may be cause to consider platelet function in management of diabetes....

To address this, we combine two approaches to improve GxE power: simultaneously evaluating multiple phenotypes and using a...
