• Evaluation of Shared Genetic Susceptibility to High and Low Myopia and Hyperopia. - JAMA ophthalmology (2022) · Tideman JWL, Pärssinen O, Haarman AEG, Khawaja AP, Wedenoja J, Williams KM, Biino G, Ding X, Kähönen M, Lehtimäki T, Raitakari OT, Cheng CY, Jonas JB, Young TL, Bailey-Wilson JE, Rahi J, Williams C, He M, Mackey DA, Guggenheim JA · PubMed 33830181

  Uncertainty currently exists about whether the same genetic variants are associated with susceptibility to low myopia (LM) and high myopia (HM) and to myopia and hyperopia. Addressing this question is fundamental to understanding the genetics of refractive error and has clinical relevance for genotype-based prediction of children at risk for HM and for identification of new therapeutic targets. To assess whether a common set of genetic variants are associated with susceptibility to HM, LM, and hyperopia. This genetic association study assessed unrelated UK Biobank participants 40 to 69 years of age of European and Asian ancestry. Participants 40 to 69 years of age living in the United Kingdom were recruited from January 1, 2006, to October 31, 2010. Of the total sample of 502 682 partici

• Polygenic prediction of educational attainment within and between families from genome-wide association analyses in 3 million individuals - Nature genetics (2022) · Okbay A, Wu Y, Wang N, Jayashankar H, Bennett M, Nehzati SM, Sidorenko J, Kweon H, Goldman G, Gjorgjieva T, Jiang Y, Hicks B, Tian C, Hinds DA, Ahlskog R, Magnusson PKE, Oskarsson S, Hayward C, Campbell A, Porteous DJ, Freese J, Herd P, Watson C, Jala J, Conley D, Koellinger PD, Johannesson M, Laibson D, Meyer MN, Lee JJ, Kong A, Yengo L, Cesarini D, Turley P, Visscher PM, Beauchamp JP, Benjamin DJ, Young AI · PubMed 35361970

  ABSTRACT: We conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment (EA) in a sample of ~3 million individuals and identify 3,952 approximately uncorrelated genome-wide-significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A genome-wide polygenic predictor, or polygenic index (PGI), explains 12-16% of EA variance and contributes to risk prediction for ten diseases. Direct effects (i.e., controlling for parental PGIs) explain roughly half the PGI's magnitude of association with EA and other phenotypes. The correlation between mate-pair PGIs is far too large to be consistent with phenotypic assortment alone, implying additional assortment on PGI-associated factors. In an additional GWAS of dominance deviations from the additive model, we identify no genome-wide-significan

• Meta-analysis of 542,934 subjects of European ancestry identifies new genes and mechanisms predisposing to refractive error and myopia - Nature genetics (2020) · Hysi PG, Choquet H, Khawaja AP, Wojciechowski R, Tedja MS, Yin J, Simcoe MJ, Patasova K, Mahroo OA, Thai KK, Cumberland PM, Melles RB, Verhoeven VJM, Vitart V, Segre A, Stone RA, Wareham N, Hewitt AW, Mackey DA, Klaver CCW, MacGregor S, Khaw PT, Foster PJ, Guggenheim JA, Rahi JS, Jorgenson E, Hammond CJ · 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
