Fast and accurate genotype imputation in genome-wide association studies through pre-phasing
- Bryan Howie, C. Fuchsberger, M. Stephens, J. Marchini, G. Abecasis
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 August 2012
The 1000 Genomes Project and disease-specific sequencing efforts are producing large collections of haplotypes that can be used as reference panels for genotype imputation in genome-wide association… Expand
Next-generation genotype imputation service and methods
- S. Das, L. Forer, +18 authors C. Fuchsberger
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 October 2016
Genotype imputation is a key component of genetic association studies, where it increases power, facilitates meta-analysis, and aids interpretation of signals. Genotype imputation is computationally… Expand
A reference panel of 64,976 haplotypes for genotype imputation
- S. McCarthy, S. Das, +106 authors R. Durbin
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 22 August 2016
We describe a reference panel of 64,976 human haplotypes at 39,235,157 SNPs constructed using whole-genome sequence data from 20 studies of predominantly European ancestry. Using this resource leads… Expand
Reference-based phasing using the Haplotype Reference Consortium panel
- Po-Ru Loh, P. Danecek, +9 authors Alkes L Price
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 27 September 2016
Haplotype phasing is a fundamental problem in medical and population genetics. Phasing is generally performed via statistical phasing in a genotyped cohort, an approach that can yield high accuracy… Expand
New loci associated with kidney function and chronic kidney disease
- A. Köttgen, C. Pattaro, +129 authors C. Fox
- Medicine, Biology
- Nature Genetics
- 1 May 2010
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a significant public health problem, and recent genetic studies have identified common CKD susceptibility variants. The CKDGen consortium performed a meta-analysis of… Expand
The Metabochip, a Custom Genotyping Array for Genetic Studies of Metabolic, Cardiovascular, and Anthropometric Traits
- B. Voight, H. Kang, +46 authors M. Boehnke
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS genetics
- 1 August 2012
Genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of loci for type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction, as well as for related traits such as body mass index, glucose… Expand
Loss-of-function mutations in SLC30A8 protect against type 2 diabetes
- J. Flannick, G. Thorleifsson, +77 authors D. Altshuler
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 April 2014
Loss-of-function mutations protective against human disease provide in vivo validation of therapeutic targets, but none have yet been described for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Through sequencing or… Expand
The genetic architecture of type 2 diabetes
- C. Fuchsberger, J. Flannick, +298 authors M. McCarthy
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 1 August 2016
The genetic architecture of common traits, including the number, frequency, and effect sizes of inherited variants that contribute to individual risk, has been long debated. Genome-wide association… Expand
Novel Loci for Adiponectin Levels and Their Influence on Type 2 Diabetes and Metabolic Traits: A Multi-Ethnic Meta-Analysis of 45,891 Individuals
- Z. Dastani, Marie-France Hivert, +110 authors J. Richards
- Biology, Medicine
- PLoS genetics
- 1 March 2012
Circulating levels of adiponectin, a hormone produced predominantly by adipocytes, are highly heritable and are inversely associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and other metabolic traits. We… Expand
Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function
- C. Pattaro, A. Teumer, +249 authors C. Fox
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature communications
- 21 January 2016
Reduced glomerular filtration rate defines chronic kidney disease and is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for… Expand
