About this Research Topic
“A Year in Review: Discussions in Applied Genetic Epidemiology” is part of a wider series of Research Topics across Frontiers in Genetics, hosted by our Specialty Chief Editors.
This Research Topic aims to spark discussion around some of the exciting developing areas of the Applied Genetic Epidemiology field, including molecular and cellular biology, genetics and disease, and genetics studies in physiology. This field is continuously evolving; therefore, we are seeking to understand developments and perspectives on themes represented by the articles that have attracted attention throughout the year.
The chosen manuscripts are:
• Genotype-by-socioeconomic status interaction influences heart disease risk scores and carotid artery thickness in Mexican Americans: the predominant role of education in comparison to household income and socioeconomic index
• Gene-educational attainment interactions in a multi-population genome-wide meta-analysis identify novel lipid loci.
• Variants in JAZF1 are associated with asthma, type 2 diabetes, and height in the United Kingdom biobank population.
• Genetic profile in genes associated with muscle injuries and injury etiology in professional soccer players
We welcome Opinions, Perspectives, Hypotheses and Theory, or Mini-Review article types on themes such as:
• Molecular aspects of cellular physiology
• Development of genetics in diseases
• Genetics of physiology
Please note, only relevant papers that add a significant contribution to the discussion articles will be considered.
