• Inference of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with deep learning on raw spirograms identifies new genetic loci and improves risk models. - Nature genetics (2023) · Cosentino J, Behsaz B, Alipanahi B, McCaw ZR, Hill D, Schwantes-An TH, Lai D, Carroll A, Hobbs BD, Cho MH, McLean CY, Hormozdiari F · PubMed 37069358

  Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the third leading cause of death worldwide, is highly heritable. While COPD is clinically defined by applying thresholds to summary measures of lung function, a quantitative liability score has more power to identify genetic signals. Here we train a deep convolutional neural network on noisy self-reported and International Classification of Diseases labels to predict COPD case-control status from high-dimensional raw spirograms and use the model's predictions as a liability score. The machine-learning-based (ML-based) liability score accurately discriminates COPD cases and controls, and predicts COPD-related hospitalization without any domain-specific knowledge. Moreover, the ML-based liability score is associated with overall survival and exac

• Gene-Based Analysis Reveals Sex-Specific Genetic Risk Factors of COPD. - AMIA ... Annual Symposium proceedings. AMIA Symposium (2022) · Joo J, Himes B · PubMed 35308900

  Sex-specific differences have been noted among people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but whether these differences are attributable to genetic variation is poorly understood. The availability of large biobanks with deeply phenotyped subjects such as the UK Biobank enables the investigation of sex-specific genetic associations that may provide new insights into COPD risk factors. We performed sex-stratified genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of COPD (male: 12,958 cases and 95,631 controls; female: 11,311 cases and 123,714 controls) and found that while most associations were shared between sexes, several regions had sex-specific contributions, including respiratory viral infection-related loci in/near C5orf56 and PELI1. Using the newly developed R package 'snpsettest

• Genetic landscape of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease identifies heterogeneous cell type and phenotype associations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30804561

  ABSTRACT: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of respiratory mortality worldwide. Genetic risk loci provide novel insights into disease pathogenesis. We performed a genome-wide association study in 35,735 cases and 222,076 controls from the UK Biobank and additional studies from the International COPD Genetics Consortium. We identified 82 loci with P-value < 5 × 10−8; 47 were previously described in association with either COPD or population-based lung function. Of the remaining 35 novel loci, 13 were associated with lung function in 79,055 individuals from the SpiroMeta consortium. Using gene expression and regulation data, we identified enrichment for loci in lung tissue, smooth muscle and several lung cell types. We found 14 COPD loci shared with either

• Gene-vegetarianism interactions in calcium, estimated glomerular filtration rate, and testosterone identified in genome-wide analysis across 30 biomarkers - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38990837

  ABSTRACT: We examined the associations of vegetarianism with metabolic biomarkers using traditional and genetic epidemiology. First, we addressed inconsistencies in self-reported vegetarianism among UK Biobank participants by utilizing data from two dietary surveys to find a cohort of strict European vegetarians (N = 2,312). Vegetarians were matched 1:4 with nonvegetarians for non-genetic association analyses, revealing significant effects of vegetarianism in 15 of 30 biomarkers. Cholesterol measures plus vitamin D were significantly lower in vegetarians, while triglycerides were higher. A genome-wide association study revealed no genome-wide significant (GWS; 5×10−8) associations with vegetarian behavior. We performed genome-wide gene-vegetarianism interaction analyses for the biomarke
