A genome-wide association study for blood lipid phenotypes in the Framingham Heart Study

Sekar Kathiresan, Alisa K. Manning, Serkalem Demissie et al. · 1 Sep 2007

BACKGROUND: Blood lipid levels including low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglycerides (TG) are highly heritable. Genome-wide association is a promising approach to map genetic loci related to these heritable phenotypes. METHODS: In 1087 Framingham Heart Study Offspring cohort participants (mean age 47 years, 52% women), we conducted genome-wide analyses (Affymetrix 100K…

Copy number variation is highly correlated with differential gene expression: a pan-cancer study

Xin Shao, Ning Lv, Jie Liao et al. · 9 Nov 2019

BACKGROUND: Cancer is a heterogeneous disease with many genetic variations. Lines of evidence have shown copy number variations (CNVs) of certain genes are involved in development and progression of many cancers through the alterations of their gene expression levels on individual or several cancer types. However, it is not quite clear whether the correlation will…

Association of HLA class I with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection

Marie Lin, Hsiang-Kuang Tseng, J. Tréjaut et al. · 12 Sep 2003

BACKGROUND: The human leukocyte antigen (HLA) system is widely used as a strategy in the search for the etiology of infectious diseases and autoimmune disorders. During the Taiwan epidemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), many health care workers were infected. In an effort to establish a screening program for high risk personal, the distribution…

An Open Access Database of Genome-wide Association Results

Andrew D. Johnson, Christopher J. O’Donnell · 22 Jan 2009

BACKGROUND: The number of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) is growing rapidly leading to the discovery and replication of many new disease loci. Combining results from multiple GWAS datasets may potentially strengthen previous conclusions and suggest new disease loci, pathways or pleiotropic genes. However, no database or centralized resource currently exists that contains anywhere near the…

Generation Scotland: the Scottish Family Health Study; a new resource for researching genes and heritability

Blair H. Smith, Harry Campbell, D. Blackwood et al. · 2 Oct 2006

BACKGROUND: Generation Scotland: the Scottish Family Health Study aims to identify genetic variants accounting for variation in levels of quantitative traits underlying the major common complex diseases (such as cardiovascular disease, cognitive decline, mental illness) in Scotland. METHODS/DESIGN: Generation Scotland will recruit a family-based cohort of up to 50,000 individuals (comprising siblings and parent-offspring groups)…

BMC Medical Genetics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Medical Genetics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Medical Genetics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BMC Medical Genetics use?
BMC Medical Genetics uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. BMC Medical Genetics. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Medical Genetics?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready BMC Medical Genetics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the BMC Medical Genetics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Medical Genetics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes BMC Medical Genetics?
BMC Medical Genetics is a life sciences and medicine journal published by BMC (BioMed Central). DocuGuru's BMC Medical Genetics template matches BMC (BioMed Central)'s official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Medical Genetics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Medical Genetics template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Medical Genetics template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Medical Genetics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Medical Genetics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
