A reference panel of 64,976 haplotypes for genotype imputation

Shane A. McCarthy, +117 more
- 22 Aug 2016 - 
TL;DR: A reference panel of 64,976 human haplotypes at 39,235,157 SNPs constructed using whole-genome sequence data from 20 studies of predominantly European ancestry leads to accurate genotype imputation at minor allele frequencies as low as 0.1% and a large increase in the number of SNPs tested in association studies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Common genetic determinants of vitamin D insufficiency: a genome-wide association study

Thomas J. Wang, +79 more
- 17 Jul 2010 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a genome-wide association study of 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentrations in 33,996 individuals of European descent from 15 cohorts was conducted to identify common genetic variants affecting vitamin D concentrations and risk of insufficiency.

Karol Estrada, +190 more
- 01 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: Light is shed on the genetic architecture and pathophysiological mechanisms underlying BMD variation and fracture susceptibility and within the RANK-RANKL-OPG, mesenchymal stem cell differentiation, endochondral ossification and Wnt signaling pathways.
