  • Genetic overlap analysis of endometriosis and asthma identifies shared loci implicating sex hormones and thyroid signalling pathways. - Human reproduction (Oxford, England) (2022) · Adewuyi EO, Mehta D, Nyholt DR · PubMed 35472084

    Is there a shared genetic or causal association of endometriosis with asthma or what biological mechanisms may underlie their potential relationships? Our results confirm a significant but non-causal association of endometriosis with asthma implicating shared genetic susceptibility and biological pathways in the mechanisms of the disorders, and potentially, their co-occurrence. Some observational studies have reported a pattern of co-occurring relationship between endometriosis and asthma; however, there is conflicting evidence and the aetiology, as well as the underlying mechanisms of the relationship, remain unclear. We applied multiple statistical genetic approaches in the analysis of well-powered, genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data to comprehensively assess the relations

  • Detection and interpretation of shared genetic influences on 42 human traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 27182965

    ABSTRACT: We performed a scan for genetic variants associated with multiple phenotypes by comparing large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 42 traits or diseases. We identified 341 loci (at an FDR of 10%) associated with multiple traits. Several loci are associated with a large number of phenotypes; for example, a nonsynonymous variant in the zinc transporter SLC39A8 influences seven of these traits, including risk of schizophrenia (rs13107325: log-odds ratio = 0.15, P = 2 × 10−12) and Parkinson's disease (log-odds ratio = −0.15, P = 1.6 × 10−7), among others. Second, we used these loci to identify traits that share multiple genetic causes in common. For example, variants that increase risk of schizophrenia also tend to increase risk of inflammatory bowel disease. Finally,

  • GWAS of allometric body-shape indices in UK Biobank identifies loci suggesting associations with morphogenesis, organogenesis, adrenal cell renewal and cancer - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34021172

    ABSTRACT: Genetic studies have examined body-shape measures adjusted for body mass index (BMI), while allometric indices are additionally adjusted for height. We performed the first genome-wide association study of A Body Shape Index (ABSI), Hip Index (HI) and the new Waist-to-Hip Index and compared these with traditional indices, using data from the UK Biobank Resource for 219,872 women and 186,825 men with white British ancestry and Bayesian linear mixed-models (BOLT-LMM). One to two thirds of the loci identified for allometric body-shape indices were novel. Most prominent was rs72959041 variant in RSPO3 gene, expressed in visceral adipose tissue and regulating adrenal cell renewal. Highly ranked were genes related to morphogenesis and organogenesis, previously additionally linked to can

  • GWAS and multi-omics integrative analysis reveal novel loci and their molecular mechanisms for circulating fatty acids - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40545721

    ABSTRACT: Summary Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic loci associated with the circulating levels of fatty acids (FAs), but the biological mechanisms of these genetic associations remain largely unexplored. Here, we conducted GWAS to identify additional genetic loci for 19 circulating FA traits in UK Biobank participants of European ancestry (n = 239,268) and five other ancestries (n = 508-4,663). We leveraged the GWAS findings to characterize genetic correlations and colocalized regions among FAs, explore sex differences, examine FA loci influenced by lipoprotein metabolism, and apply statistical fine-mapping to pinpoint putative causal variants. We integrated GWAS signals with multi-omics quantitative trait loci (QTL) to reveal intermediate molecular
