Prior research suggested a differential association of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) metabolites with type 2 diabetes (T2D), with total 25(OH)D and 25(OH)D3 inversely associated with T2D, but the epimeric form (C3-epi-25(OH)D3) positively associated with T2D. Whether or not these observational associations are causal remains uncertain. We aimed to examine the potential causality of these associations using Mendelian randomisation (MR) analysis.

This is a list of tools and resources that we have found mentioned in this publication.


METAL (tool)

RRID:SCR_002013

Software application designed to facilitate meta-analysis of large datasets (such as several whole genome scans) in a convenient, rapid and memory efficient manner. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)

HaploReg (tool)

RRID:SCR_006796

HaploReg is a tool for exploring annotations of the noncoding genome at variants on haplotype blocks, such as candidate regulatory SNPs at disease-associated loci. Using linkage disequilibrium (LD) information from the 1000 Genomes Project, linked SNPs and small indels can be visualized along with their predicted chromatin state in nine cell types, conservation across mammals, and their effect on regulatory motifs. HaploReg is designed for researchers developing mechanistic hypotheses of the impact of non-coding variants on clinical phenotypes and normal variation.

HARDY (tool)

RRID:SCR_009107

Markov chain Monte Carlo program for association in two-dimensional contingency tables, and for testing Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)

LOCUSZOOM (tool)

RRID:SCR_009257

Software application designed to facilitate viewing of local association results together with useful information about a locus, such as the location and orientation of the genes it includes, linkage disequilibrium coefficients and local estimates of recombination rates. It was developed by popular demand, as a result of many questions we have had about How did you make the figures in your talk? or How did you make the figures for your GWAS paper?

SNPTEST (tool)

RRID:SCR_009406

Software program for the analysis of single SNP association in genome-wide studies. The tests implemented can cater for binary (case-control) and quantitative phenotypes, can condition upon an arbitrary set of covariates and properly account for the uncertainty in genotypes. The program is designed to work seamlessly with the output of both the genotype calling program CHIAMO, the genotype imputation program IMPUTE and the program GTOOL. This program was used in the analysis of the 7 genome-wide association studies carried out by the Wellcome Trust Case-Control Consortium (WTCCC). (entry from Genetic Analysis Software)
