McCarthy N, Vangjeli C, Cavalleri G, Delanty N, Shianna K, Surendran P, et al.
Circ Cardiovasc Genet . 2014 Sep; 7(6):873-9. PMID: 25210050
Background: Blood pressure (BP) is highly heritable, but our understanding of the genetic causes underlying variations in BP is incomplete. In this study, we explored whether novel loci associated with...

Petousi N, Croft Q, Cavalleri G, Cheng H, Formenti F, Ishida K, et al.
J Appl Physiol (1985) . 2013 Sep; 116(7):893-904. PMID: 24030663
Tibetan natives have lived on the Tibetan plateau (altitude ∼ 4,000 m) for at least 25,000 years, and as such they are adapted to life and reproduction in a hypoxic...

Lane J, McLaren P, Dorrell L, Shianna K, Stemke A, Pelak K, et al.
Hum Mol Genet . 2013 Feb; 22(9):1903-10. PMID: 23372042
Human genetic variation contributes to differences in susceptibility to HIV-1 infection. To search for novel host resistance factors, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in hemophilia patients highly exposed...

Oz-Levi D, Ben-Zeev B, Ruzzo E, Hitomi Y, Gelman A, Pelak K, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 2012 Nov; 91(6):1065-72. PMID: 23176824
We studied five individuals from three Jewish Bukharian families affected by an apparently autosomal-recessive form of hereditary spastic paraparesis accompanied by severe intellectual disability, fluctuating central hypoventilation, gastresophageal reflux disease,...

Shea P, Shianna K, Carrington M, Goldstein D
Annu Rev Med . 2012 Oct; 64:203-17. PMID: 23020875
Since the discovery of HIV as the cause of AIDS, numerous insights have been gained from studies of its natural history and epidemiology. It has become clear that there are...

Urban T, Shen Y, Stolz A, Chalasani N, Fontana R, Rochon J, et al.
Pharmacogenet Genomics . 2012 Sep; 22(11):784-95. PMID: 22968431
Background And Aims: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a serious adverse drug event that is suspected to have a heritable component. We carried out a genome-wide association study of 783...

Manzini M, Tambunan D, Hill R, Yu T, Maynard T, Heinzen E, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 2012 Sep; 91(3):541-7. PMID: 22958903
Whole-exome sequencing (WES), which analyzes the coding sequence of most annotated genes in the human genome, is an ideal approach to studying fully penetrant autosomal-recessive diseases, and it has been...

Zhu M, Need A, Han Y, Ge D, Maia J, Zhu Q, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 2012 Sep; 91(3):408-21. PMID: 22939633
Although there are many methods available for inferring copy-number variants (CNVs) from next-generation sequence data, there remains a need for a system that is computationally efficient but that retains good...

Zhu Q, Ge D, Heinzen E, Dickson S, Urban T, Zhu M, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 2012 Sep; 91(3):422-34. PMID: 22939045
To date, the widely used genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of the human genome have reported thousands of variants that are significantly associated with various human traits. However, in the vast...

Am J Hum Genet . 2012 Aug; 91(2):303-12. PMID: 22863191
Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder with strong heritability and marked heterogeneity in symptoms, course, and treatment response. There is strong interest in identifying genetic risk factors that can help...
