Genome-wide association studies for common diseases and complex traits
JN Hirschhorn, MJ Daly - Nature reviews genetics, 2005 - nature.com
Genetic factors strongly affect susceptibility to common diseases and also influence disease-
related quantitative traits. Identifying the relevant genes has been difficult, in part because …

Gene–environment correlations across geographic regions affect genome-wide association studies
Gene–environment correlations affect associations between genetic variants and complex

Integrating human brain proteomes with genome-wide association data implicates new proteins in Alzheimer's disease pathogenesis
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many risk loci for Alzheimer's
disease (AD),, but how these loci confer AD risk is unclear. Here, we aimed to identify loci …
