The importance of cohort studies in the post-GWAS era.

Nature genetics - 1 Mar 2018

Wijmenga Cisca, Zhernakova Alexandra

Abstract excerpt

The past decade has seen enormous success of wide-scale genetic studies in identifying genetic variants that modify individuals' predisposition to common diseases. However, the interpretation and functional understanding of these variants lag far behind. In this Perspective, we discuss opportunities for using large-scale cohort studies to investigate the downstream molecular effects of SNPs at different 'omics'...
