  • Genome-wide association study identifies 30 Loci Associated with Bipolar Disorder - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31043756

    ABSTRACT: Bipolar disorder is a highly heritable psychiatric disorder. We performed a genome-wide association study including 20,352 cases and 31,358 controls of European descent, with follow-up analysis of 822 variants with P<1×10−4 in an additional 9,412 cases and 137,760 controls. Eight of the 19 variants that were genome-wide significant (GWS, p < 5×10−8) in the discovery GWAS were not GWS in the combined analysis, consistent with small effect sizes and limited power but also with genetic heterogeneity. In the combined analysis 30 loci were GWS including 20 novel loci. The significant loci contain genes encoding ion channels, neurotransmitter transporters and synaptic components. Pathway analysis revealed nine significantly enriched gene-sets including regulation of insulin secre

  • Genome-wide association meta-analysis highlights light-induced signaling as a driver for refractive error - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29808027

    ABSTRACT: Refractive errors, including myopia, are the most frequent eye disorders worldwide and an increasingly common cause of blindness. This genome-wide association meta-analysis in 160,420 participants and replication in 95,505 participants, increased the established independent signals from 37 to 161 and revealed high genetic correlation between Europeans and Asians (>0.78). Expression experiments and comprehensive in silico analyses identified retinal cell physiology and light processing as prominent mechanisms, and functional contributions to refractive error development in all cell types of the neurosensory retina, retinal pigment epithelium, vascular endothelium and extracellular matrix. Newly identified genes elicited novel mechanisms such as rod and cone bipolar synaptic neurot

  • Meta-analysis of 542,934 subjects of European ancestry identifies new genes and mechanisms predisposing to refractive error and myopia - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32231278

    ABSTRACT: Refractive errors, in particular myopia, are a leading cause of morbidity and disability world-wide. Genetic investigation can improve understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying abnormal eye development and impaired vision. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies involving 542,934 European participants and identified 336 novel genetic loci associated with refractive error. Collectively, all associated genetic variants explain 18.4% of heritability and improve the accuracy of myopia prediction (AUC=0.75). Our results suggest that refractive error is genetically heterogeneous, driven by genes participating in the development of every anatomical component of the eye. In addition, our analyses suggest that genetic factors controlling circadian rhythm
