Design of a novel highly efficient peptide-based siRNA-delivery vector, PepFect6
734 whole-blood RNA samples from Estonian Biobank were profiled to find molecular mechanisms behind human complex diseases deidentified clinical and serum metabolite data requested but not provided 734 whole-blood RNA samples were profiled with Illumina HT12v3 array. Same samples are genotyped and...

Three genetic loci for lung cancer risk have been identified by genome-wide association studies (GWAS), but inherited susceptibility to specific histologic types of lung cancer is not well established. We conducted a GWAS of lung cancer and its major histologic types genotyping 515,922 single n...

Background: Interindividual differences in liver functions such as protein synthesis, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism and drug metabolism are influenced by epigenetic factors. The role of the epigenetic machinery in such processes has, however, been barely investigated. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5h...

Fetal health is dependent upon the epigenetic-based regulation of gene expression in placenta. Genomic imprinting is an epigenetic phenomenon common to placenta and refers to the monoallelic expression of a gene in a parental-specific manner. We aimed to detect novel imprinted genes in human placent...

The development of whole genome association studies from the general population has lead to the robust identification of several loci involved in different common human diseases. Interestingly, most of the strongest signals of association observed in these studies arise from non-coding regions, rais...

Given the possible critical importance of placental gene imprinting and random monoallelic expression on fetal and infant health, most of those genes must be identified, in order to understand the risks that the baby might meet during pregnancy and after birth. Therefore, the aim of the current stud...

The Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes Consortium (GoT2D) is a collaboration between the University of Michigan, the Broad Institute and the Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics. The overall aim is to extend upon recent efforts, such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and large scale meta-analys...
