Description of quality control and quality assurance in the design and execution of genome-wide association studies (GWAS). - Genomewide Association Studies and Assessment of the Risk of Disease [www.nejm.org]
Manolio TA. New England Journal of Medicine, July 8, 2010
A New England Journal of Medicine series that examines the past 10 years of accomplishments in the quest to screen, prevent and treat disease in the new world of genomic medicine. The second in the series, Genomewide Association Studies and Assessment of the Risk of Disease, finds genomewide association studies have proved successful in identifying genetic associations with complex traits, opening doors to potential treatments. - The Gene, Environment Association Studies consortium (GENEVA): maximizing the knowledge obtained from GWAS by collaboration across studies of multiple conditions [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cornelis MC, Agrawal A, Cole JW, Hansel NH, Barnes KC, Beaty TH, Bennett SN, Bierut LJ, Boerwinkle E, Doheny KF, Feenstra B, Feingold E, Fornage M, Haiman CA, Harris EL, Hayes MG, Heit JA, Hu FB, Kang JH, Laurie CC, Ling H, Manolio TA, Marazita ML, Matthias RA, Mirel DB, Paschall J, Pasquale LR, Pugh EW, Rice JP, Udren J, van Dam RM, Wang X, Wiggs JL, Williams K, Yu K for the GENEVA Consortium. Genetic Epidemiology, May 2010.
Description of the design of the Gene, Environment Association Studies (GENEVA) consortium. By maximizing knowledge obtained through collaborative GWAS incorporating environmental exposure information, GENEVA aims to enhance our understanding of disease etiology, potentially identifying opportunities for intervention. -
