  • A longitudinal genome-wide association study of bone mineral density mean and variability in the UK Biobank. - Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA (2023) · He D, Liu H, Wei W, Zhao Y, Cai Q, Shi S, Chu X, Qin X, Zhang N, Xu P, Zhang F · PubMed 37500982

    Bone mineral density (BMD) is an essential predictor of osteoporosis and fracture. We conducted a genome-wide trajectory analysis of BMD and analyzed the BMD change. This study aimed to identify the genetic architecture and potential biomarkers of BMD. Our analysis included 141,261 white participants from the UK Biobank with heel BMD phenotype data. We used a genome-wide trajectory analysis tool, TrajGWAS, to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of BMD. Then, we validated our findings in previously reported BMD genetic associations and performed replication analysis in the Asian participants. Finally, gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the identified candidate genes was conducted using the FUMA platform. A total of 52 genes associated with BMD trajectory mean were identified,

  • Multivariate genome-wide association study on tissue-sensitive diffusion metrics highlights pathways that shape the human brain - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35505052

    ABSTRACT: The molecular determinants of tissue composition of the human brain remain largely unknown. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on this topic have had limited success due to methodological constraints. Here, we apply advanced whole-brain analyses on multi-shell diffusion imaging data and multivariate GWAS to two large scale imaging genetic datasets (UK Biobank and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study) to identify and validate genetic association signals. We discover 503 unique genetic loci that have impact on multiple regions of human brain. Among them, more than 79% are validated in either of two large-scale independent imaging datasets. Key molecular pathways involved in axonal growth, astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation, and synaptogenesis during develop
