Int J Epidemiol . 2016 Dec; 46(2):429-439. PMID: 28017932
Background: The positive association between caesarean section (CS) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be attributed to preterm delivery. However, due to lack of statistical power, no previous study thoroughly...

Tang D, Anderson D, Francis R, Syn G, Jamieson S, Lassmann T, et al.
Sci Data . 2016 Apr; 3:160023. PMID: 27070114
Genetic analyses, including genome-wide association studies and whole exome sequencing (WES), provide powerful tools for the analysis of complex and rare genetic diseases. To date there are no reference data...

Carter K, Francis R, Carter K, Francis R, Bresnahan M, Gissler M, et al.
Int J Epidemiol . 2015 Oct; 45(2):408-416. PMID: 26452388
Background: Research studies exploring the determinants of disease require sufficient statistical power to detect meaningful effects. Sample size is often increased through centralized pooling of disparately located datasets, though ethical,...

PLoS One . 2015 Mar; 10(3):e0119333. PMID: 25760438
A body mass index (BMI) >22kg/m2 is a risk factor for type 2 diabetes (T2D) in Aboriginal Australians. To identify loci associated with BMI and T2D we undertook a genome-wide...

Gaye A, Marcon Y, Isaeva J, Laflamme P, Turner A, Jones E, et al.
Int J Epidemiol . 2014 Sep; 43(6):1929-44. PMID: 25261970
Background: Research in modern biomedicine and social science requires sample sizes so large that they can often only be achieved through a pooled co-analysis of data from several studies. But...

Int J Genomics . 2014 Feb; 2013:594528. PMID: 24524070
The Gene Ontology (GO) provides a resource for consistent annotation of genes and gene products that is extensively used by numerous large public repositories. The GO is constructed of three...
