Proteomics reveals unique plasma signatures in constitutional thinness

Purpose Studying the plasma proteome of control versus constitutionally thin (CT) individuals, exposed to overfeeding, may give insights into weight-gain management, providing relevant information to the clinical entity of weight-gain resistant CT, and dis ...

A fully joint Bayesian quantitative trait locus mapping of human protein abundance in plasma

Anthony Christopher Davison, Hélène Ruffieux, Jörg Hager, Radu Popescu

Molecular quantitative trait locus (QTL) analyses are increasingly popular to explore the genetic architecture of complex traits, but existing studies do not leverage shared regulatory patterns and suffer from a large multiplicity burden, which hampers the ...

A Global-Local Approach For Detecting Hotspots In Multiple-Response Regression

Anthony Christopher Davison, Hélène Ruffieux, Jörg Hager

We tackle modelling and inference for variable selection in regression problems with many predictors and many responses. We focus on detecting hotspots, that is, predictors associated with several responses. Such a task is critical in statistical genetics, ...

Genome-wide gene-based analyses of weight loss interventions identify a potential role for NKX6.3 in metabolism

Patrick Descombes, Hélène Ruffieux, Sylviane Métairon, Jörg Hager, Nele Gheldof

Hundreds of genetic variants have been associated with Body Mass Index (BMI) through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) using observational cohorts. However, the genetic contribution to efficient weight loss in response to dietary intervention remains ...

Efficient inference for genetic association studies with multiple outcomes

Anthony Christopher Davison, Jörg Hager, Hélène Ruffieux

Combined inference for heterogeneous high-dimensional data is critical in modern biology, where clinical and various kinds of molecular data may be available from a single study. Classical genetic association studies regress a single clinical outcome on ma ...

Large Scale Association Analysis Identifies Three Susceptibility Loci for Coronary Artery Disease

Jörg Hager

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) and their replications that have associated DNA variants with myocardial infarction (MI) and/or coronary artery disease (CAD) are predominantly based on populations of European or Eastern Asian descent. Replication of ...
