  • Efficient candidate drug target discovery through proteogenomics in a Scottish cohort - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40883583

    ABSTRACT: Understanding the genomic basis of human proteomic variability provides powerful tools to probe potential causal relationships of proteins and disease risk, and thus to prioritise candidate drug targets. Here, we investigated 6432 plasma proteins (1533 previously unstudied in large-scale proteomic GWAS) using the SomaLogic (v4.1) aptamer-based technology in a Scottish population from the Viking Genes study. A total of 505 significant independent protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) were found for 455 proteins in blood plasma: 382 cis- (P < 5×10-8) and 123 trans- (P < 6.6×10-12). Of these, 31 cis-pQTL were for proteins with no previous GWAS. We leveraged these pQTL to perform causal inference using bidirectional Mendelian randomisation and colocalisation against comple

  • Mapping the proteo-genomic convergence of human diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34648354

    ABSTRACT: Characterization of the genetic regulation of proteins is essential for understanding disease etiology and developing therapies. We identified 10,674 genetic associations for 3,892 plasma proteins to create a cis-anchored gene-protein-disease map of 1,859 connections that highlights strong cross-disease biological convergence. This proteo-genomic map provides a framework to 1) connect etiologically related diseases, 2) provide biological context for new or emerging disorders, and 3) integrate different biological domains to establish mechanisms for known gene-disease links. Our results identify proteo-genomic connections within and between diseases and establish the value of cis-protein variants for annotation of likely causal disease genes at GWAS loci, addressing a major barrie

  • A genome-wide association study of mass spectrometry proteomics using a nanoparticle enrichment platform - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41310232

    ABSTRACT: Most studies to date of protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) have relied on affinity proteomics platforms, which provide only limited information about the targeted protein isoforms and may be affected by genetic variation in their epitope binding. Here we show that mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics can complement these studies and provide insights into the role of specific protein isoform and epitope-altering variants. Using the Seer Proteograph nanoparticle enrichment MS platform, we identified and replicated new pQTLs in a genome-wide association study of proteins in blood plasma samples from two cohorts and evaluated previously reported pQTLs from affinity proteomics platforms. We found that >30% of the evaluated pQTLs were confirmed by MS proteomics to be consistent

  • Plasma proteome variation and its genetic determinants in children and adolescents - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39972214

    ABSTRACT: Our current understanding of the determinants of plasma proteome variation during pediatric development remains incomplete. Here, we show that genetic variants, age, sex and body mass index significantly influence this variation. Using a streamlined and highly quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics workflow, we analyzed plasma from 2,147 children and adolescents, identifying 1,216 proteins after quality control. Notably, the levels of 70% of these were associated with at least one of the aforementioned factors, with protein levels also being predictive. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) regulated at least one-third of the proteins; between a few percent and up to 30-fold. Together with excellent replication in an additional 1,000 children and 558 adults, this reveals substa
