In complex traits, demonstrating causation may be impossible, but there should at least be evidence that the variants identified in a GWAS show a consistent correlation with gene expression or ...

There isn't a single "depression gene." Instead, variations in many genes can predispose ... As technology advances, ...

Biologists have discovered that disruptions in transfer RNA function can lead to the development of cleft lip and cleft palate.

Cleft lip and cleft palate are among the most common birth defects, occurring in about one in 1,050 births in the United ...

researchers describe a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of samples from 1,610 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 and 2,205 healthy controls. The authors identified variants in two regions—the ...

Mental health disorders and physical diseases often co-occur, and growing evidence suggests that shared genetic factors contribute to their comorbidity.

A new study combines genetic data and improved computational tools to look more closely at GWAS results for both adult-onset and childhood-onset asthma. The research identified many genetic variants ...

Scientists have been trying to identify the exact causes of Alzheimer's disease for many years, and we know that pathologies like tau tangles and .. | Genetics And Genomics ...

The risk of MS is significantly higher in people with a specific gene variant called HLA-E*01:01 and a history of mono, a ...

Using high-quality SV and SNP datasets including 157 plant individuals from six populations, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified that a 254-bp transposon insertion in bHLH35 gene ...
