Frequently Asked Questions (8)
Q2. What is the effect of a deletion of CRTC2 on the glyce?
In addition, a deletion of CRTC2 impairs the expression of thegluconeogenic genes and the ability of glucagon to stimulate glucose production in hepatocytes[68].
Q3. what is the inverse link function for the grs?
The choice of Generalized Linear Mixed Models which is a general form of Linear Mixed Modelshas been made to take into account the canonical behavior of BMI values; exploratory analysisof the data strongly suggested an inverse link function which is the canonical link function for theGamma family.
Q4. What are the advantages of second generation antipsychotics?
Since their introduction onto the market, second generation antipsychotics (SGA) have beenwidely used over first generation antipsychotics (FGA), as they clearly show an advantage interms of reduced risks of extrapyramidal side-effects, as well as some advantages for thetreatment of negative symptoms.
Q5. What is the way to compare the effects of a GLMM on BMI?
GLMMs combine both linear mixed models (which incorporate random effects) and generalizedlinear models (which deal with non-normal data by using link functions and exponential family)12[59].
Q6. What is the method to build a GRS?
Among the several existing methods to build a GRS, it has been shown in disease risk modelingthat weighted GRS methods are preferred to the simple count method when relative risks varyamong SNPs [56].
Q7. What is the significance of the present study?
In conclusion, the present study replicated in psychiatric cohorts previously identified BMI riskvariants obtained in GWAS analyses from population-based samples.
Q8. What are the common genes associated with obesity?
With the emergence of genome wide association studies (GWAS), thousands of newpolymorphisms associated with obesity and metabolic phenotypes have been elucidated.
