Harnessing the genetics of DNA methylation to understand context-specific gene regulation in disease

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations for traits and diseases. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions (outside genes), and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through modulating regulatory mechanism. Read more

Evaluating the role of circulating proteins in cancer risk and progression using genetic and observational approaches

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. Circulating proteins play fundamental roles in biology and disease aetiology, including development of cancer, and are the direct targets of many drugs (1). Read more

Harnessing genetics of DNA methylation to elucidate molecular mechanisms underlying human phenotypes.

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School
Rationale. GWAS studies have discovered many genetic associations for traits and diseases, but it has been difficult to elucidate the functional consequences of these variants. Read more

Genetics: Investigating the functional effect of novel genes and genetic variants in malignant hyperthermia susceptibility using model systems

University of Leeds Faculty of Medicine and Health
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is an inherited condition, where patients exposed to anaesthetic drugs are susceptible to a dramatic hyperthermic and hypermetabolic response that can contribute to a significant proportion of post-operative morbidity and deaths. Read more

Common genetic origins of visual and neurocognitive disorders

University of York York Biomedical Research Institute
There is emerging evidence that apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases have common genetic origins. For example, genes such as ARMS2 and HTRA1, which are fundamental to regulating neuronal health, are implicated in both dementia and diseases of the retina (particularly age-related macular degeneration).
