• Variance-quantitative trait loci enable systematic discovery of gene-environment interactions for cardiometabolic serum biomarkers - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35810165

  ABSTRACT: Gene-environment interactions represent the modification of genetic effects by environmental exposures and are critical for understanding disease and informing personalized medicine. These often induce differential phenotypic variance across genotypes; these variance-quantitative trait loci can be prioritized in a two-stage interaction detection strategy to greatly reduce the computational and statistical burden and enable testing of a broader range of exposures. We perform genome-wide variance-quantitative trait locus analysis for 20 serum cardiometabolic biomarkers by multi-ancestry meta-analysis of 350,016 unrelated participants in the UK Biobank, identifying 182 independent locus-biomarker pairs (p < 4.5×10−9). Most are concentrated in a small subset (4%) of loci with
