Genome-wide association analysis identifies 13 new risk loci for schizophrenia

Common genetic variation has an important role in the etiology of schizophrenia, and larger studies will allow more detailed understanding of this disorder.

Using genome-wide complex trait analysis to quantify 'missing heritability' in Parkinson's disease

Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been successful at identifying single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) highly associated with common traits...

Genetic and functional evaluation of the role of DLL1 in susceptibility to visceral leishmaniasis in India

Chromosome 6q26-27 is linked to susceptibility to visceral leishmaniasis (VL) in Brazil and Sudan.

Statistical adjustment of genotyping error in a case-control study of childhood leukaemia

Genotyping has become more cost-effective and less invasive with the use of buccal cell...

Common variants at the MHC locus and at chromosome 16q24.1 predispose to Barrett's esophagus

Barrett's esophagus is an increasingly common disease that is strongly associated with reflux of stomach acid and usually a hiatus hernia,...

Wound healing genes and susceptibility to cutaneous leishmaniasis in Brazil

Leishmania braziliensis causes cutaneous (CL) and mucosal (ML) leishmaniasis. In the mouse, Fli1 was identified as a gene influencing enhanced wound healing...

HLA-DR Class II expression on myeloid and lymphoid cells in relation to HLA-DRB1 as a genetic risk factor for visceral leishmaniasis

To understand how HLA-DR contributes to disease pathogenesis, we examined expression at the protein level in circulating myeloid and lymphoid cells of VL patients

Determinants for progression from asymptomatic infection to symptomatic visceral leishmaniasis: A cohort study

We confirmed the strong association between high DAT and/or rK39 titers and progression to disease among asymptomatic subjects

Comparative analyses of whole genome sequences of Leishmania infantum isolates from humans and dogs in northeastern Brazil

Overall the analyses do not suggest individual sequence variants account for differences in clinical outcome or adaptation to different hosts.

A Method to Exploit the Structure of Genetic Ancestry Space to Enhance Case-Control Studies

These results highlight how UNICORN can enable reliable, powerful, and convenient genetic association analyses without access to the individual-level data
