The genetic map of human molecular phenotypes

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Genome wide associations studies (GWASs) have discovered many genetic associations with a large range of human traits, but the functional consequences of GWAS signals often remain elusive, as most GWAS signals reside in non-coding genomic regions. Read more

Identifying DNA methylation signatures of prostate cancer progression and mortality among patients with clinically confirmed, localised disease at baseline in a large prospective clinical trial

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. Prostate Cancer (PCa) is a leading cause of male mortality, with 336,000 deaths worldwide each year (1). Although most PCa cases are indolent, slow-growing, and tend not to progress, a subset of PCa cases are more aggressive and will progress to metastases, treatment resistance and death. 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

Breastfeeding and big babies - lifecourse and genomics epidemiological approaches to disentangle cause and effect.

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Rationale. The World Health Organisation recommends exclusively breastfeeding for 6 months, but in the UK, only 1% of infants meet the guidelines (1). 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

Investigating the role of dietary fructose in the development of early-onset colorectal cancer

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. This project will investigate the role of fructose in the development of early-onset colorectal cancer (EOCRC) in adults <50 years. Read more

The use of life course epidemiology to support the experimental characterisation of genetic variation

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. There has been a rapid expansion in the generation of genetic sequence data over the last decade. Understanding the potential relevance of genetic mutations to human health remains challenging. Read more

Metabolomic characterisation of adiposity across the life course

University of Bristol Bristol Medical School

Project Background. There is evidence that adiposity, measured by body mass index (BMI), causally influences a range of health outcomes, but little understanding of the mechanisms driving BMI effects. Read more
