Journal ArticleDOI

A large genome-wide association study of age-related macular degeneration highlights contributions of rare and common variants

Lars G. Fritsche, +185 more
- 01 Feb 2016 - 
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that rare coding variants can pinpoint causal genes within known genetic loci and illustrate that applying the approach systematically to detect new loci requires extremely large sample sizes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Seven new loci associated with age-related macular degeneration

Lars G. Fritsche, +185 more
- 01 Apr 2013 - 
TL;DR: A collaborative genome-wide association study, including >17,100 advanced AMD cases and >60,000 controls of European and Asian ancestry, identifies 19 loci associated at P < 5 × 10−8, which show enrichment for genes involved in the regulation of complement activity, lipid metabolism, extracellular matrix remodeling and angiogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Human Phenotype Ontology in 2017

Sebastian Köhler, +60 more
TL;DR: The progress of the HPO project is reviewed, including specific areas of expansion such as common (complex) disease, new algorithms for phenotype driven genomic discovery and diagnostics, integration of cross-species mapping efforts with the Mammalian Phenotype Ontology, an improved quality control pipeline, and the addition of patient-friendly terminology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expansion of the Human Phenotype Ontology (HPO) knowledge base and resources

Sebastian Köhler, +69 more
TL;DR: The HPO’s interoperability with other ontologies has enabled it to be used to improve diagnostic accuracy by incorporating model organism data and plays a key role in the popular Exomiser tool, which identifies potential disease-causing variants from whole-exome or whole-genome sequencing data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of a rare coding variant in complement 3 associated with age-related macular degeneration

Xiaowei Zhan, +65 more
- 01 Nov 2013 - 
TL;DR: Two large-effect rare coding variants associated with a large increase in risk of age-related macular degeneration suggest decreased inhibition of C3 by complement factor H, resulting in increased activation of the alternative complement pathway, as a key component of disease biology.
