  • Genome-wide association studies in a large Korean cohort identify quantitative trait loci for 36 traits and illuminate their genetic architectures - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40436827

    ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have predominantly focused on European ancestry populations, limiting biological discoveries across diverse populations. Here we report GWAS findings from 153,950 individuals across 36 quantitative traits in the Korean Cancer Prevention Study-II (KCPS2) Biobank. We discovered 301 previously unreported genetic loci in KCPS2, including an association between thyroid-stimulating hormone and CD36. Meta-analysis with the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, Biobank Japan, Taiwan Biobank, and UK Biobank identified 4588 loci that were not significant in any contributing GWAS. We describe differences in genetic architectures across these East Asian and European samples. We also highlight East Asian specific associations, including a known pleiotrop

  • Modeling the genomic architecture of adiposity and anthropometrics across the lifespan - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40796553

    ABSTRACT: Obesity-related conditions are among the leading causes of preventable death and are increasing in prevalence worldwide. Body size and composition are complex traits that are challenging to characterize due to environmental and genetic influences, longitudinal variation, heterogeneity between sexes, and differing health risks based on adipose distribution. Here, we construct a 4-factor genomic structural equation model using 18 measures, unveiling shared and distinct genetic architectures underlying birth size, abdominal size, adipose distribution, and adiposity. Multivariate genome-wide associations reveal the adiposity factor is enriched specifically in neural tissues and pathways, while adipose distribution is enriched more broadly across physiological systems. In addition, po

  • The Polygenic and Monogenic Basis of Blood Traits and Diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32888494

    ABSTRACT: Summary Blood cells play essential roles in human health, underpinning physiological processes such as immunity, oxygen transport, and clotting, which when perturbed cause a significant global health burden. Here we integrate data from UK Biobank and a large-scale international collaborative effort, including data for 563,085 European ancestry participants, and discover 5,106 new genetic variants independently associated with 29 blood cell phenotypes covering a range of variation impacting hematopoiesis. We holistically characterize the genetic architecture of hematopoiesis, assess the relevance of the omnigenic model to blood cell phenotypes, delineate relevant hematopoietic cell states influenced by regulatory genetic variants and gene networks, identify novel splice-altering v
