  • Genetic overlap analysis of endometriosis and asthma identifies shared loci implicating sex hormones and thyroid signalling pathways. - Human reproduction (Oxford, England) (2022) · Adewuyi EO, Mehta D, Nyholt DR · PubMed 35472084

    Is there a shared genetic or causal association of endometriosis with asthma or what biological mechanisms may underlie their potential relationships? Our results confirm a significant but non-causal association of endometriosis with asthma implicating shared genetic susceptibility and biological pathways in the mechanisms of the disorders, and potentially, their co-occurrence. Some observational studies have reported a pattern of co-occurring relationship between endometriosis and asthma; however, there is conflicting evidence and the aetiology, as well as the underlying mechanisms of the relationship, remain unclear. We applied multiple statistical genetic approaches in the analysis of well-powered, genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data to comprehensively assess the relations

  • Association analysis in over 329,000 individuals identifies 116 independent variants influencing neuroticism - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29255261

    ABSTRACT: Neuroticism is a relatively stable personality trait characterised by negative emotionality (e.g., worry, guilt); twin study heritability ranges 30 to 50%, and SNP-based heritability ranges 6 to 15%. Increased neuroticism is associated with poorer mental and physical health, translating to high economic burden. Genome-wide association (GWA) studies of neuroticism have identified up to 11 genetic loci. Here we report 116 significant independent loci from a GWA of neuroticism in 329,821 UK Biobank participants; 15 of these replicated at P<.00045 in an unrelated cohort (N = 122,867). Genetic signals were enriched in neuronal genesis and differentiation pathways, and substantial genetic correlations were found between neuroticism and depressive symptoms (rg = .82, SE=.03), major depr
