Analysis of protein-coding genetic variation in 60,706 humans

Monkol Lek, +106 more
- 18 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: The aggregation and analysis of high-quality exome (protein-coding region) DNA sequence data for 60,706 individuals of diverse ancestries generated as part of the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) provides direct evidence for the presence of widespread mutational recurrence.

Analysis of protein-coding genetic variation in 60,706 humans

Monkol Lek, +72 more
- 30 Oct 2015 - 
TL;DR: The aggregation and analysis of high-quality exome (protein-coding region) sequence data for 60,706 individuals of diverse ethnicities generated as part of the Exome Aggregation Consortium (ExAC) provides direct evidence for the presence of widespread mutational recurrence.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling Linkage Disequilibrium Increases Accuracy of Polygenic Risk Scores

Bjarni J. Vilhjálmsson, +394 more
TL;DR: LDpred is introduced, a method that infers the posterior mean effect size of each marker by using a prior on effect sizes and LD information from an external reference panel, and outperforms the approach of pruning followed by thresholding, particularly at large sample sizes.

A comprehensive 1000 Genomes-based genome-wide association meta-analysis of coronary artery disease

Majid Nikpay, +150 more
TL;DR: A GWAS meta-analysis of CAD cases and controls provides a comprehensive survey of the fine genetic architecture of CAD, showing that genetic susceptibility to this common disease is largely determined by common SNPs of small effect size.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diagnostic Yield and Clinical Utility of Sequencing Familial Hypercholesterolemia Genes in Patients With Severe Hypercholesterolemia

TL;DR: In an analysis of participants with serial lipid measurements over many years, FH mutation carriers had higher cumulative exposure to LDL cholesterol than noncarriers and within any stratum of observed LDL cholesterol, risk of CAD was higher among FH mutations carriers than non carriers.
