Journal ArticleDOI

Exploring the phenotypic consequences of tissue specific gene expression variation inferred from GWAS summary statistics.

Alvaro N. Barbeira, +263 more
TL;DR: A mathematical expression is derived to compute PrediXcan results using summary data, and the effects of gene expression variation on human phenotypes in 44 GTEx tissues and >100 phenotypes are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Arsenic exposure from drinking water, and all-cause and chronic-disease mortalities in Bangladesh (HEALS): a prospective cohort study

TL;DR: Chronic arsenic exposure through drinking water was associated with an increase in the mortality rate and follow-up data from this cohort will be used to assess the long-term effects of arsenic exposure and how they might be affected by changes in exposure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Elevated Biomarkers of Inflammation Are Associated With Reduced Survival Among Breast Cancer Patients

TL;DR: Circulating SAA and CRP may be important prognostic markers for long-term survival in breast cancer patients, independent of race, tumor stage, race, and body mass index.
Journal ArticleDOI

Efficient Design for Mendelian Randomization Studies: Subsample and 2-Sample Instrumental Variable Estimators

TL;DR: It is shown that obtaining exposure data for a subset of participants is a cost-efficient strategy, often having negligible effects on power in comparison with a traditional complete-data analysis, and maximum power is approximately equal to the power of traditional IV estimators.
