Comparison of affected sibling-pair linkage methods to identify gene x gene interaction in GAW15 simulated data.

BMC proceedings

Larkin EK, Morris NJ, Li Y, Nock NL, Stein CM.
PMID: 18466567
BMC Proc. 2007;1:S66. doi: 10.1186/1753-6561-1-s1-s66. Epub 2007 Dec 18.

Non-parametric linkage methods have had limited success in detecting gene by gene interactions. Using affected sibling-pair (ASP) data from all replicates of the simulated data from Problem 3, we assessed the statistical power of three approaches to identify the...

Genetic Associations with Obstructive Sleep Apnea Traits in Hispanic/Latino Americans.

Am J Respir Crit Care Med. 2016 Oct 01;194(7):886-897. doi: 10.1164/rccm.201512-2431OC.

RATIONALE: Obstructive sleep apnea is a common disorder associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and premature mortality. Although there is strong clinical and epidemiologic evidence supporting the importance of genetic factors in influencing obstructive sleep apnea, its...

Genetic Variant Set-Based Tests Using the Generalized Berk-Jones Statistic with Application to a Genome-Wide Association Study of Breast Cancer.

Journal of the American Statistical Association

Sun R, Lin X.
PMID: 33041403
J Am Stat Assoc. 2020;115(531):1079-1091. doi: 10.1080/01621459.2019.1660170. Epub 2019 Oct 16.

Studying the effects of groups of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), as in a gene, genetic pathway, or network, can provide novel insight into complex diseases like breast cancer, uncovering new genetic associations and augmenting the information that can be...

Modeling the complex gene x environment interplay in the simulated rheumatoid arthritis GAW15 data using latent variable structural equation modeling.

BMC proceedings

Nock NL, Larkin EK, Morris NJ, Li Y, Stein CM.
PMID: 18466459
BMC Proc. 2007;1:S118. doi: 10.1186/1753-6561-1-s1-s118. Epub 2007 Dec 18.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a complex disease that appears to involve multiple genetic and environmental factors. Using the Genetic Analysis Workshop 15 simulated rheumatoid arthritis data and the structural equation modeling framework, we tested hypothesized "causal" rheumatoid arthritis model(s) by...

Central obesity, measured by waist circumference (WC) or waist-hip ratio (WHR), is a marker of body fat distribution. Although obesity disproportionately affects minority populations, few studies have conducted genome-wide association study (GWAS) of fat distribution among those of predominantly...

Genome-wide association study of neck circumference identifies sex-specific loci independent of generalized adiposity.

International journal of obesity (2005)

Liu Y, Zhang X, Lee J, Smelser D, Cade B, Chen H, Zhou H, Kirchner HL, Lin X, Mukherjee S, Hillman D, Liu CT, Redline S, Sofer T.
PMID: 33907307
Int J Obes (Lond). 2021 Jul;45(7):1532-1541. doi: 10.1038/s41366-021-00817-2. Epub 2021 Apr 27.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Neck circumference, an index of upper airway fat, has been suggested to be an important measure of body-fat distribution with unique associations with health outcomes such as obstructive sleep apnea and metabolic disease. This study aims to study...
