The Genetic Epidemiology Network of Arteriopathy (GENOA): GENOA is one of four research networks that form the NHLBI Family Blood Pressure Program (FBPP). From its inception in 1995, GENOA's long-term objective was to elucidate the genetics of hypertension and its arterioscle...
Altered gene expression is a hallmark of human cancers and arises in part through abnormal epigenetic regulation of gene transcription. The best characterized epigenetic alteration involves tumor suppressor gene inactivation via transcriptional repression associated with aberrant DNA hypermethylatio...
Background and Rationale for the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study (CCSS) Over the last several decades, advances in treatments for childhood and adolescent cancer have substantially improved survival following diagnosis. These improvements gave rise to the responsibility for investigat...
This is a multi-centre, case-controlled study to develop a dataset containing 1000 MS cases and 1000 matched controls and to associate DNA sequence (allelic) variations with MS phenotypes.
Study subjects were enrolled through a prospective effort initiated in 2003. Three MS clinical ce...
Methylation array profiling of infant high grade gliomas identifies an intrinsic group of tumours with epigenetic profiles distinct from gliomas in older children. These tumours are characterised by very few recurrent mutations and carry a very high frequency of fusion genes. They can be diagnosed a...

To identify novel susceptibility loci for psoriasis, we undertook a genome-wide association scan of of 594,224 SNPs in 2,622 individuals with psoriasis and 5,667 controls.
