The case-control study is a widely used method for investigating the genetic underpinnings of binary traits. However, long-term, prospective cohort studies often grapple with absent or evolving health-related outcomes. Here, we propose two methods, l...
Hundreds of loci have been robustly associated with obesity-related traits, but functional characterization of candidate genes remains a bottleneck. Aiming to systematically characterize candidate genes for a role in accumulation of lipids in adipocy...

Due to ethnic heterogeneity in genetic architecture, genetic risk score (GRS) constructed within the European population generally possesses poor portability in underrepresented non-European populations, but substantial genetic similarity exists acro...

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a significant predictor of the early progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and can serve as an important indicator of disease progression. However, many existing methods focus mainly on the image when processing b...
Polygenic risk score (PRS) is a widely used approach for predicting individuals' genetic risk of complex diseases, playing a pivotal role in advancing precision medicine. Traditional PRS methods, predominantly following a linear structure, often fall...
INTRODUCTION: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a long-term autoimmune disorder that primarily affects joints. Although RA is chiefly associated with HLA class II, nevertheless some HLA class I associations have also been observed. These molecules present...
BACKGROUND: Migraine is a complex neurological disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of severe headaches. Although genetic factors have been implicated, the precise molecular mechanisms, particularly gene expression patterns in migraine-associ...

BACKGROUND: The vitamin D pathway contributes to the microbicidal activity of macrophages against infection. In addition to induction of this pathway, interferon-gamma (IFNγ), interleukin (IL)-15, and IL32γ are part of a network of pro-inflammatory ...
DNA methylation (DNAm) is essential for brain development and function and potentially mediates the effects of genetic risk variants underlying brain disorders. We present INTERACT, a transformer-based deep learning model to predict regulatory varian...
