Identification of common variants associated with human hippocampal and intracranial volumes

Jason L. Stein, +237 more
- 01 May 2012 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report genome-wide association meta-analyses and replication for mean bilateral hippocampal, total brain and intracranial volumes from a large multinational consortium.
Journal ArticleDOI

Data for Genetic Analysis Workshop 18: human whole genome sequence, blood pressure, and simulated phenotypes in extended pedigrees

TL;DR: Genetic Analysis Workshop 18 (GAW18) focused on identification of genes and functional variants that influence complex phenotypes in human sequence data and generated simulated phenotypes that were modeled to have the same trait distributions as the real systolic and diastolic blood pressure data.
Book ChapterDOI

A kernel of truth: statistical advances in polygenic variance component models for complex human pedigrees.

TL;DR: A rapid and efficient eigen simplification of the likelihood that makes analysis of family data commensurate with the analysis of a comparable sample of unrelated individuals and reveals potential problems associated with nonpositive semidefinite kernels is developed.
