Underlying Genetic Models of Inheritance in Established Type 2 Diabetes Associations (2009)

Salanti, Georgia, Southam, Lorraine, Altshuler, David, Ardlie, Kristin, Barroso, Inês, Boehnke, Michael, ...

For most associations of common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with common diseases, the genetic model of inheritance is unknown. The authors extended and applied a Bayesian meta-analysis...

Discovery Properties of Genome-wide Association Signals From Cumulatively Combined Data Sets (2009)

Pereira, Tiago V., Patsopoulos, Nikolaos A., Salanti, Georgia, Ioannidis, John P. A.

Genetic effects for common variants affecting complex disease risk are subtle. Single genome-wide association (GWA) studies are typically underpowered to detect these effects, and combination of...

Multiple-Treatments Meta-analysis of Chemotherapy and Targeted Therapies in Advanced Breast Cancer (2008)

Mauri, Davide, Polyzos, Nikolaos P., Salanti, Georgia, Pavlidis, Nicholas, Ioannidis, John P. A.

Background Many systemic nonhormonal regimens have been evaluated across several hundreds of randomized trials in advanced breast cancer. We aimed to quantify the relative merits of these regimens in...

Seven Lipoprotein Lipase Gene Polymorphisms, Lipid Fractions, and Coronary Disease: A HuGE Association Review and Meta-Analysis (2008)

Sagoo, Gurdeep S., Tatt, Iain, Salanti, Georgia, Butterworth, Adam S., Sarwar, Nadeem, Van Maarle, Merel, ...

Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) is a key enzyme in lipoprotein metabolism and a major candidate gene for coronary heart disease (CHD). The authors assessed associations between 7 LPL polymorphisms and lipid...

Joint Effects of the N-Acetyltransferase 1 and 2 (NAT1 and NAT2) Genes and Smoking on Bladder Carcinogenesis: A Literature-based Systematic HuGE Review and Evidence Synthesis (2007)

Sanderson, Simon, Salanti, Georgia, Higgins, Julian

Bladder cancer is an increasingly important international public health problem, with over 330,000 new cases being diagnosed each year worldwide. In a systematic review and evidence synthesis, the...

Survival Benefits With Diverse Chemotherapy Regimens for Ovarian Cancer: Meta-analysis of Multiple Treatments (2006)

Kyrgiou, Maria, Salanti, Georgia, Pavlidis, Nicholas, Paraskevaidis, Evangelos, Ioannidis, John P. A.

Background: Numerous randomized trials have compared different chemotherapy regimens in women with ovarian cancer. Although ovarian cancer survival has improved in recent years, the magnitude of...

Family-Based versus Unrelated Case-Control Designs for Genetic Associations (2006)

Evangelos Evangelou, Thomas A. Trikalinos, Georgia Salanti

The most simple and commonly used approach for genetic associations is the case-control study design of unrelated people. This design is susceptible to population stratification. This problem is...

Family-based vs. unrelated case-control designs for genetic associations (2006)

Evangelos Evangelou, Thomas Trikalinos, Georgia Salanti

The most simple and commonly used approach for genetic associations is the case-control study design of unrelated subjects. This design is susceptible to population stratification. This problem is...

Impact of Violations and Deviations in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium on Postulated Gene-Disease Associations (2006)

Trikalinos, Thomas A., Salanti, Georgia, Khoury, Muin J., Ioannidis, John P. A.

The authors evaluated whether statistically significant violations of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) or the magnitude of deviations from HWE may contribute to the problem of replicating postulated...

A non-parametric framework for estimating threshold limit values (2005)

Salanti, Georgia, Ulm, Kurt

Abstract Background To estimate a threshold limit value for a compound known to have harmful health effects, an 'elbow' threshold model is usually applied. We are interested on non-parametric...

A Network of Investigator Networks in Human Genome Epidemiology (2005)

Ioannidis, John P. A., Bernstein, Jonine, Boffetta, Paolo, Danesh, John, Dolan, Siobhan, Hartge, Patricia, ...

The task of identifying genetic determinants for complex, multigenetic diseases is hampered by small studies, publication and reporting biases, and lack of common standards worldwide. The authors...

Infant sleeping position and the sudden infant death syndrome: systematic review of observational studies and historical review of recommendations from 1940 to 2002 (2005)

Gilbert, Ruth, Salanti, Georgia, Harden, Melissa, See, Sarah

Background Before the early 1990s, parents were advised to place infants to sleep on their front contrary to evidence from clinical research. Methods We systematically reviewed associations between...
