The genome serves as the blueprint for the body, influencing every trait from the shape of the face to the arches of the feet, and even the development of certain diseases. While some disorders, like ...
A large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) using data from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veterans Program (MVP) – one of the largest US-based biobanks – fills ...
Geneticists are increasingly turning to endophenotypes, i.e., measurable disease traits, to help uncover genes that might be missed in heterogenous clinical cohorts. In the October 8 Nature Genetics, ...

From DNA signals to disease insights with eQTLs
Scientists are refining how we connect genetic variants to the genes and mechanisms that influence complex traits and diseases. By integrating genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with expression ...
The two main approaches for discovering disease genes reveal distinct aspects of biology, a new study shows. While both methods are widely used, the research found that they identify different genes, ...
