Featured Article : Polymorphisms in transcription factor binding sites and enhancer regions and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma risk

In this article, the authors investigated the usefulness of functional annotation of GWAS polymorphisms as a strategy to identify additional risk loci for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). Their results provide new insights into genetic risk factors for PDAC by a focused analysis of polymorphisms in regulatory regions and demonstrating the usefulness of functional prioritization to identify loci associated with PDAC risk.

Previous content

Human Genomics launched with BioMed Central in July 2012, transferring from its previous publisher Henry Stewart Publications. All back content is now available in the archive.

Aims and scope

Human Genomics is a peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on the application of genomic analysis in all aspects of human health and disease, as well as genomic analysis of drug efficacy and safety, and comparative genomics.

Call for Papers: New Approach Methodologies to Address Population Variability and Susceptibility in Human Risk Assessment

Guest Editors:
Helena Hodberg-Durdock: NIH, USA
Nicole Kleinstreuer: NIH, USA
Kim To: Inotiv, USA

This Collection is focusing on the development and use of New Approach Methodologies (NAMs) such as in vitro, in silico and small organism models, that address variability or factors associated with susceptibility to adverse effects of chemical exposure.

Call for Papers: Pharmacogenomics Beyond Single Common Genetic Variants

Guest Editor:
Volker M. Lauschke: Karolinska Institutet, Sweden

In this Collection, we invite original research articles, case reports, meta-analyses, and reviews that focus on associations between genetic variability with drug metabolism, response or toxicity. We particularly welcome reports that identify combinatorial variant effects in cis or trans, epigenetic variations, regulation of gene expression by non-coding RNAs as well as polygenic models for drug response and safety predictions.

Call for Papers: Multi-omics approaches to unravel gene-environmental interactions in noncommunicable diseases

Guest Editors:
Tesfaye B. Mersha, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, USA
Daniel Enquobahrie, University of Washington, USA

The purpose of this Collection is to identify and describe developments, challenges and opportunities related to the integration of environmental exposure data with -omics data in population studies.
