Examining genotype-phenotype associations of GRAM domain proteins using GWAS, PheWAS and literature review in cattle, human, pig, mouse and chicken.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The GRAMD genes are involved in maintaining cholesterol homeostasis, apoptosis, cancer and production traits in livestock. A lipid-binding GRAM domain is implicated in lipid transport and metabolism. The functions of GRAMD proteins remain incompletely understood. The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the associations between six GRAMD genes in cattle using data from the international genomic evaluation of the Interbull InterGenomics Centre and to evaluate genotype-phenotype associations in human, cattle, pig, mouse and, chicken. Genotyping of 55,013 bulls was performed using DNA microarrays and 11 SNPs were mapped to the five GRAMD genes. A phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) tested associations between the 11 SNPs and 36 traits. The integrated analysis of SNP effects, rankings, and clustering patterns revealed their potential for improving cattle productivity, health, and robustness, and established a baseline for the targeted improvement of cattle traits. This study lays the groundwork for functional experiments aimed at uncovering the mechanism of action of GRAMD genes and to evaluate the potential of using GRAMD sequence variants for selection programs in dairy cattle. The study presents an example of how the combination of GWAS and the PheWAS offers a promising toolbox for the systematic functional annotation of vertebrate genomes.
