Genomic analyses identify hundreds of variants associated with age at menarche and support a role for puberty timing in cancer risk

Felix R. Day, +244 more
- 24 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used 1000 Genomes Project-imputed genotype data in up to ∼370,000 women to identify 389 independent signals (P < 5 × 10-8) for age at menarche, a milestone in female pubertal development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Disease variants alter transcription factor levels and methylation of their binding sites.

TL;DR: It is shown that disease-associated variants have widespread effects on DNA methylation in trans that likely reflect differential occupancy of trans binding sites by cis-regulated transcription factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of context-dependent expression quantitative trait loci in whole blood

TL;DR: This work generated peripheral blood RNA–seq data from 2,116 unrelated individuals and systematically identified context-dependent eQTLs using a hypothesis-free strategy that does not require previous knowledge of the identity of the modifiers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Multiancestry association study identifies new asthma risk loci that colocalize with immune-cell enhancer marks

Florence Demenais, +216 more
- 01 Jan 2018 - 
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of GWAS studies for asthma from multiancestral cohorts identifies five new loci and finds that the asthma-associated loci are enriched near enhancer marks in immune cells, suggesting a major role of these loci in the regulation of immunologically related mechanisms.
