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

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

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have discovered many genetic associations with health outcomes. However, most GWAS signals reside in non-coding regions and it is likely that GWAS variants confer their effects through a regulatory mechanism. Read more

Investigating the genetic architecture of orofacial cleft: A genome-wide association study using trio data and an investigation of parent of origin and mother-children interaction effects.

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Orofacial clefts (OFCs) are the most prevalent craniofacial congenital disabilities globally, occurring at a frequency of 1 out of 700 newborns. Read more

Identifying metabolic drivers of cancer development

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Growing evidence suggests that cell extrinsic factors are key in modulating tumor progression. Metabolites are small molecules that act as sources of fuel and building blocks essential for cells and tissues when present at normal levels. Read more

Identifying causal pathways to disease using DNA methylation predicted blood traits.

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. Blood cell types have been implicated in pathogenesis of chronic diseases. Genome wide association studies have identified thousands of variants associated with blood trait variation. Read more
