Methylome-wide comparison of human genomic DNA extracted from whole blood and from EBV-transformed lymphocyte cell linesKarolina Aberg
Center for Biomarker Research and Personalized Medicine, School of Pharmacy, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23298, USA
Eur J Hum Genet 20:953-5. 2012..2 × 10(-16)). Our study shows that there are substantial differences in the DNA methylation patterns between LCL and WB. Thus, LCL DNA should not be used as a proxy for WB DNA in methylome-wide studies...
Genome-wide association study of antipsychotic-induced QTc interval prolongationK Aberg
Center for Biomarker Research and Personalized Medicine, School of Pharmacy, Medical College of Virginia of Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23298, USA
Pharmacogenomics J 12:165-72. 2012..However, some genes may also be unique for drug-induced prolongation. This study demonstrates the potential of GWAS to discover genes and pathways that mediate antipsychotic-induced QT prolongation...
Genomewide association study of movement-related adverse antipsychotic effectsKarolina Aberg
Center for Biomarker Research and Personalized Medicine, School of Pharmacy, Medical College of Virginia of Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia 23298, USA
Biol Psychiatry 67:279-82. 2010..Understanding individual differences in the development of extrapyramidal side effects (EPS) as a response to antipsychotic therapy is essential to individualize treatment...
Suggestive linkage detected for blood pressure related traits on 2q and 22q in the population on the Samoan islandsKarolina Aberg
Department of Human Genetics, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, 130 DeSoto St, Pittsburgh, PA 15261, USA
BMC Med Genet 10:107. 2009..We adjusted the traits for a number of environmental covariates such as smoking, alcohol consumption, physical activity and material life style...
Susceptibility loci for adiposity phenotypes on 8p, 9p, and 16q in American Samoa and SamoaKarolina Aberg
Department of Human Genetics, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA
Obesity (Silver Spring) 17:518-24. 2009..These results strongly encourage further genetic studies of adiposity-related phenotypes where extended sets of carefully measured environmental factors are taken into account...
Applying novel genome-wide linkage strategies to search for loci influencing type 2 diabetes and adult height in American SamoaKarolina Aberg
Department of Human Genetics, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, A300 Crabtree Hall, 130 DeSoto St, Pittsburgh, PA 15261, USA
Hum Biol 80:99-123. 2008..Our finding suggests that the 9q31 region may be a strong quantitative trait locus for adult height, which is likely to be of importance across populations...
Genome-wide association study of patient-rated and clinician-rated global impression of severity during antipsychotic treatmentShaunna L Clark
Center for Biomarker Research and Personalized Medicine, School of Pharmacy, Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, Virginia 23298 0581, USA
Pharmacogenet Genomics 23:69-77. 2013..To examine the unique and congruent findings between multiple raters in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in the context of understanding individual differences in treatment response during antipsychotic therapy for schizophrenia...
A genome-wide linkage scan identifies multiple chromosomal regions influencing serum lipid levels in the population on the Samoan islandsKarolina Aberg
Department of Human Genetics, Graduate School of Public Health, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
J Lipid Res 49:2169-78. 2008..In conclusion, chromosome 6p and 12q may host promising susceptibility loci influencing lipid levels; however, the low degree of overlap between the three study samples strongly encourages further studies of the lipid-related traits...
Genome-wide pharmacogenomic study of neurocognition as an indicator of antipsychotic treatment response in schizophreniaJoseph L McClay
Center for Biomarker Research and Personalized Medicine, School of Pharmacy, Medical College of Virginia Campus, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA 23298 0533, USA
Neuropsychopharmacology 36:616-26. 2011..This study has generated several novel candidate genes for antipsychotic response. However, our findings will require replication and functional validation. To facilitate replication efforts, we provide all GWAS p-values for download...
Genotype-based ancestral background consistently predicts efficacy and side effects across treatments in CATIE and STAR*DDANIEL E ADKINS
Center for Biomarker Research and Personalized Medicine, School of Pharmacy, Medical College of Virginia, Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA, USA
PLoS ONE 8:e55239. 2013..As relatively few new psychiatric drugs are currently under development, such personalized medicine offers a promising approach toward optimizing pharmacotherapy for psychiatric conditions...
Merging microsatellite data: enhanced methodology and software to combine genotype data for linkage and association analysisAngela P Presson
Department of Human Genetics, University of California, Los Angeles, CA 90095, USA
BMC Bioinformatics 9:317. 2008..A consequence of such alignments is that codominant genotypes must often be analyzed as phenotypes. In this paper we describe several extensions that are implemented in MicroMerge version 2 (v2)...
