BACKGROUND: Migraine is associated with a range of symptoms and comorbid disorders and has a strong genetic basis, but the currently identified risk loci only explain a small portion of the heritability, often termed the "missing heritability". We ai...
Small non-coding molecules known as microRNAs (miRNAs) play a critical role in disease diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis evaluation. Traditional wet-lab methods for validating miRNA-disease associations are often time-consuming and inefficient. Wit...
In the field of treatment and prevention of immune-related bone diseases, significant challenges persist, necessitating the urgent exploration of new and effective treatment methods. However, most existing Mendelian randomization (MR) studies are con...
BACKGROUND: Recent studies have suggested a potential association between gastric cancer (GC) and myocardial infarction (MI), with shared pathogenic factors. This study aimed to identify these common factors and potential pharmacologic targets.
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial non-coding RNAs involved in various diseases. Understanding these interactions is vital for advancing diagnostic, preventive, and therapeutic strategies. Existing computational methods...

. Polygenic risk scores (PRS) summarise genetic information into a single number with clinical and research uses. Deep learning (DL) has revolutionised multiple fields, however, the impact of DL on PRSs has been less significant. We explore how DL ca...
BACKGROUND: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified common variants associated with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). However, rare coding variant studies have been limited by phenotyping challenges and ...

Complex diseases pose challenges in prediction due to their multifactorial and polygenic nature. This study employed machine learning (ML) to analyze genomic data from the UK Biobank, aiming to predict the genomic predisposition to complex diseases l...
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...
