A Comprehensive Evaluation of Methods for Mendelian Randomization Using Realistic Simulations and an Analysis of 38 Biomarkers for Risk of Type-2 Diabetes Guanghao Qi1 and Nilanjan Chatterjee1,2* 1Department of Biostatistics, Bloomberg School of Public Health and 2Department of Oncology, School of Medicine, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD 21205, USA * Correspondence to Nilanjan Chatterjee ([email protected]) 1 bioRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/702787; this version posted February 5, 2020.

Abstract Background: Mendelian randomization (MR) has provided major opportunities for understanding the causal relationship among complex traits. Previous studies have often evaluated MR methods based on simulations that do not adequately reflect the data-generating mechanism in GWAS and there are often discrepancies in performance of MR methods in simulations and real datasets. Methods: We use a simulation framework that generates data on full GWAS for two traits under realistic model for effect-size distribution coherent with heritability, co-heritability and polygenicity typically observed for complex traits. We further use recent data generated from GWAS of 38 biomarkers in the UK Biobank to investigate their causal effects on risk of type-2 diabetes using externally available GWAS summary-statistics. Results: Simulation studies show that weighted mode and MRMix are the only two methods which maintain correct type-I error rate in a diverse set of scenarios.

Knockout of Lmo4 in brain correlates with gain in body weight. We are studying the effects of restricting access to food during certain time of the day to determine the kinetics of weight gain and energy metabolism. Undergraduates will work on mouse breeding, coordinating food access to animals, measuring body composition, gene expression analysis and isolation of tissues. Preferred (or required) skills and/ or experience: Basic knowledge in biology, chemistry, math and physics. Positions available: 1 Work location: Bayview Medical Center, Asthma and Allergy Center, 5501 Hopkins Bayview Cir, Rm 2A62 Chuck Bennett: Physics and Astronomy, KSAS; JHU Applied Physics Lab (APL) Project: The research project relates to the Cosmological Large Angular Scale Surveyor (CLASS) telescope array that Johns Hopkins University operates high in the Andes Mountains of northern Chile. The research group builds new instrumentation, improves existing instrumentation, operates the telescope system to survey the sky, and analyzes data from the survey. The overall two major goals of the research are: (1) to determine, via measurement, the detailed process that led to the first stars forming; and (2) to determine, via measurement, the nature of the first fraction of a second of the creation of the universe. To achieve these goals, CLASS conducts a survey of the polarized cosmic microwave background radiation (the remnant glow from billions of years ago) over most of the sky.

    Statistical Methods for Integrating Disparate Data Sources

    STATISTICAL METHODS FOR INTEGRATING DISPARATE DATA SOURCES by Prosenjit Kundu A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland April, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Prosenjit Kundu All rights reserved Abstract My thesis is about developing statistical methods by integrating disparate data sources with real data applications, and identifying gene-environment interac- tions (G E) in more extensive studies using existing analytical methods. We × propose a general and novel statistical framework for combining information on multivariate regression parameters across multiple different studies which have varying level of covariate information (Chapter 2). We illustrate the method us- ing real data for developing a breast cancer risk prediction model. We propose a generalized method of moments (GMM) approach for analyzing two-phase studies where we take into account the dependent structure of the datasets across the two-phases (Chapter 3). We illustrate the method using real data on Wilm’s tumor, a common type of kidney cancer in children. We analyze the largest gene by smoking interaction study for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma risk conducted to date using existing statistical methods (Chapter 4).

It is my great pleasure to introduce the 2015 ENAR Spring Meeting to be held at the Hyatt Regency Miami, in Miami, FL, from March 15-18. The ENAR Spring Meeting brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, industry and government, connected through a common interest in Biom- etry. It offers a unique opportunity for learning new exciting methods and software, hearing about interesting and impactful applications, meeting new people (including prospective employers and job candidates), reconnecting with friends, and, this year, getting a break from the cold and snowy winter. The ENAR Spring Meeting only hap- pens through the diligent work of a large number of people who organize and contrib- ute to the program, plan and oversee the meeting logistics, and help with sponsorship – my heartfelt gratitude to all of them. Scientific Program: Through the leadership of Program Chair Mithat Gönen, of Memorial Sloan- Kettering Cancer Center, and Associate Chair Brisa Sánchez, of the University of Michigan School of Public Health, and with contributions from many of you, the Program Committee (with representatives from different ASA sections) has created an outstanding invited program. The sessions cover a wide range of topics of great interest to both researchers and practitioners, such as, data sciences (big data), genomics, clinical trials, neuroimaging, biomarkers, health policy, electronic health records, ecology, and epidemiol- ogy.

Therefore, the study of gene-environment (GxE) interactions has been a focus of research for several years. In this manuscript, select examples of GxE from the literature are described to highlight different approaches and underlying principles related to the success of these studies. These examples were broadly categorized as studies of: single metabolism genes, genes in complex metabolism pathways, ranges of exposure levels, functional approaches and model systems, and pharmacogenomics. Some studies illustrated the success of studying exposure metabolism for which candidate genes can be identified. Moreover, some GxE successes depended on the availability of high quality exposure assessment and longitudinal measures, study populations with a wide range of exposure levels, and the inclusion of ethnically and geographically diverse populations.
