Benefits and limitations of genome-wide association studies

V Tam, N Patel, M Turcotte, Y Bossé, G Paré… - Nature Reviews …, 2019 - nature.com
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involve testing genetic variants across the
genomes of many individuals to identify genotype–phenotype associations. GWAS have …

[HTML][HTML] An integrated cell atlas of the lung in health and disease

…, M van den Berge, Y Bossé… - Nature Medicine, 2023 - nature.com
Single-cell technologies have transformed our understanding of human tissues. Yet, studies
typically capture only a limited number of donors and disagree on cell type definitions. …

[HTML][HTML] Tobacco smoking increases the lung gene expression of ACE2, the receptor of SARS-CoV-2

G Cai, Y Bossé, F Xiao, F Kheradmand… - American journal of …, 2020 - atsjournals.org
Methods We evaluated a comprehensive set of transcriptomic data sets to investigate the
associations of smoking with ACE2, FURIN, and TMPRSS2 gene expression in lung tissues. …

Large-scale association analysis identifies new lung cancer susceptibility loci and heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across histological subtypes

…, RF Tyndale, G Chenevix-Trench, J Beesley, Y Bossé… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Although several lung cancer susceptibility loci have been identified, much of the heritability
for lung cancer remains unexplained. Here 14,803 cases and 12,262 controls of European …

Bicuspid aortic valve: identifying knowledge gaps and rising to the challenge from the International Bicuspid Aortic Valve Consortium (BAVCon)

…, MM Bissell, N Anavekar, P Mathieu, Y Bossé… - Circulation, 2014 - Am Heart Assoc
Given the high incidence of BAV dysfunction requiring surgical intervention and the high
incidence of associated TAA formation8–10, 14–18 (Table), the BAV condition should be …

…, JP Cook, K Probert, M Obeidat, Y Bossé… - The Lancet …, 2015 - thelancet.com
Background Understanding the genetic basis of airflow obstruction and smoking behaviour
is key to determining the pathophysiology of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). …

[HTML][HTML] Lung eQTLs to help reveal the molecular underpinnings of asthma

K Hao, Y Bossé, DC Nickle, PD Paré, DS Postma… - PLoS …, 2012 - journals.plos.org
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified loci reproducibly associated with
pulmonary diseases; however, the molecular mechanism underlying these associations are …
