Abstract We explore the implications of the false discovery rate (FDR) controlling procedure in disease gene mapping. With the aid of simulations, we show how, under models commonly used, the simple step-down procedure introduced by Benjamini and Hochberg controls the FDR for the dependent tests on which linkage and association genome screens are based. This adaptive multiple comparison procedure may offer an important tool for mapping susceptibility genes for complex diseases.

Dismal Prognosis

Abstract BACKGROUND Glioblastoma is known for its dismal prognosis though its dependency on patients’ readily available RBCs parameters defining the patient’s anemic status such as hemoglobin level and Red blood cells distribution Width (RDW) is not fully established. Several works demonstrated a connection between low hemoglobin level or high RDW values to overall glioblastoma patient’s survival, but in other works, a clear connection was not found. This study addresses this unclarity. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this work, 170 glioblastoma patients, diagnosed and treated in Soroka University Medical Center (SUMC) in the last 12 years were retrospectively inspected for their survival dependency on pre-operative RBCs parameters using multivariate analysis followed by false discovery rate procedure due to the multiple hypothesis testing. A survival stratification tree and Kaplan-Meier survival curves that indicate the patient’s prognosis according to these parameters were prepared. RESULTS Beside KPS>70 and tumor resection supplemented by oncological treatment, age<70 (HR=0.4, 95% CI 0.24–0.65), low hemoglobin level (HR=1.79, 95% CI 1.06–2.99) and RDW<14% (HR=0.57, 95% CI 0.37–0.88) were found to be prognostic to patients’ overall survival in multivariate analysis, accounting for false discovery rate of less than 5%. CONCLUSION A survival stratification highlighted a non-anemic subgroup of nearly 30% of the cohort’s patients whose median overall survival was 21.1 months (95% CI 16.2–27.2) - higher than the average Stupp protocol overall median survival of about 15 months. A discussion on the beneficial or detrimental effect of RBCs parameters on glioblastoma prognosis and its possible causes is given.

Abstract It is critical to identify potential causal targets for SARS-CoV-2, which may guide drug repurposing options. We assessed the associations between genetically predicted protein levels and COVID-19 severity. Leveraging data from the COVID-19 Host Genetics Initiative comparing 6492 hospitalized COVID-19 patients and 1 012 809 controls, we identified 18 proteins with genetically predicted levels to be associated with COVID-19 severity at a false discovery rate of &lt;0.05, including 12 that showed an association even after Bonferroni correction. Of the 18 proteins, 6 showed positive associations and 12 showed inverse associations. In conclusion, we identified 18 candidate proteins for COVID-19 severity.
