Genome-wide association studies have identified hundreds of genetic variants associated with complex human diseases and traits, and have provided valuable insights into their genetic architecture.… Expand
The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) project
- J. Lonsdale, J. Thomas, +124 authors H. Moore
- Biology, Political Science
- Nature Genetics
- 1 May 2013
Genome-wide association studies have identified thousands of loci for common diseases, but, for the majority of these, the mechanisms underlying disease susceptibility remain unknown. Most associated… Expand
The Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) pilot analysis: Multitissue gene regulation in humans
- K. Ardlie, David S. Deluca, +130 authors Lockhart
- Biology, Medicine

Expression, genetic variation, and tissues Human genomes show extensive genetic variation across individuals, but we have only just started documenting the effects of this variation on the regulation… Expand
MORTALITY ASSOCIATED WITH INFLUENZA AND RESPIRATORY SYNCYTIAL VIRUS IN THE UNITED STATES
- W. Thompson, D. Shay, +4 authors K. Fukuda
- Medicine
- JAMA
- 1 September 2002
CONTEXT
Influenza and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) cause substantial morbidity and mortality. Statistical methods used to estimate deaths in the United States attributable to influenza have not… Expand
Allele-sharing models: LOD scores and accurate linkage tests.
Starting with a test statistic for linkage analysis based on allele sharing, we propose an associated one-parameter model. Under general missing-data patterns, this model allows exact calculation of… Expand

- W. Thompson, D. Shay, +4 authors K. Fukuda
- Medicine
- JAMA
- 15 September 2004
CONTEXT
Respiratory viral infections are responsible for a large number of hospitalizations in the United States each year.
OBJECTIVE
To estimate annual influenza-associated hospitalizations in the… Expand
Antigenic and Genetic Characteristics of Swine-Origin 2009 A(H1N1) Influenza Viruses Circulating in Humans
Generation of Swine Flu As the newly emerged influenza virus starts its journey to infect the world's human population, the genetic secrets of the 2009 outbreak of swine influenza A(H1N1) are being… Expand
Obesity-associated variants within FTO form long-range functional connections with IRX3
- S. Smemo, J. Tena, +22 authors M. Nobrega
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 12 March 2014
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have reproducibly associated variants within introns of FTO with increased risk for obesity and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Although the molecular mechanisms linking… Expand
A gene-based association method for mapping traits using reference transcriptome data
- E. Gamazon, Heather E. Wheeler, +8 authors H. K. Im
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 10 July 2015
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified thousands of variants robustly associated with complex traits. However, the biological mechanisms underlying these associations are, in general,… Expand

- Y. Horikawa, N. Oda, +23 authors G. Bell
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature Genetics
- 1 October 2000
Type 2 or non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) is the most common form of diabetes worldwide, affecting approximately 4% of the world's adult population. It is multifactorial in origin… Expand
