Apolipoprotein E polymorphisms and type 2 diabetes: A meta-analysis of 30 studies including 5423 cases and 8197 controls
(2010)Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a highly complicated metabolic disorder for which there is worldwide effort for the identification of susceptibility genes. Polymorphisms of the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene are associated ... -
An approach for modelling multiple correlated outcomes in a network of interventions using odds ratios
(2014)A multivariate meta-analysis of two or more correlated outcomes is expected to improve precision compared with a series of independent, univariate meta-analyses especially when there are studies reporting some but not all ... -
Developing the Evidence Base for Cancer Chemoprevention: Use of Meta-Analysis
(2011)Meta-analysis is a quantitative approach for systematically combining the results of previous studies in order to arrive at conclusions about the body of research. It answers a specific research question, includes an ... -
A method for meta-analysis of case-control genetic association studies using logistic regression
(2007)We propose here a simple and robust approach for meta-analysis of molecular association studies. Making use of the binary structure of the data, and by treating the genotypes as independent variables in a logistic regression, ... -
On the covariance of two correlated log-odds ratios
(2012)In many applications two correlated estimates of an effect size need to be considered simultaneously to be combined or compared. Apparently, there is a need for calculating their covariance, which however requires access ... -
Polymorphisms of the insulin receptor and the insulin receptor substrates genes in polycystic ovary syndrome: A Mendelian randomization meta-analysis
(2010)Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a heterogeneous condition with unknown aetiology which is considered to be the most common endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. In this work we investigated the association ...
