Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common autoimmune disease that targets myelin in the central
nervous system (CNS). Multiple genome-wide association studies (GWAS) over the past 10 …

The physical interaction of proteins which lead to compiling them into large densely
connected networks is a noticeable subject to investigation. Protein interaction networks are …

INTRODUCTION A disease is rarely a straightforward consequence of an abnormality in a
single gene, but rather reflects the interplay of multiple molecular processes. The …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of psychiatric disorders have identified multiple
genetic associations with such disorders, but better methods are needed to derive the …

Network “guilt by association”(GBA) is a proven approach for identifying novel disease
genes based on the observation that similar mutational phenotypes arise from functionally …

We have derived a versatile gene-based test for genome-wide association studies (GWAS).
Our approach, called VEGAS (versatile gene-based association study), is applicable to all …

Genome-wide association (GWA) studies have typically focused on the analysis of single
markers, which often lacks the power to uncover the relatively small effect sizes conferred by …

Despite the yield of recent genome-wide association (GWA) studies, the identified variants
explain only a small proportion of the heritability of most complex diseases. This …

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have rapidly become a standard method for
disease gene discovery. A substantial number of recent GWAS indicate that for most …

Background Late Onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) is the leading cause of dementia.
Recent large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) identified the first strongly …
