• Genetic analyses of the electrocardiographic QT interval and its components identify additional loci and pathways - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36050321

  ABSTRACT: The QT interval is an electrocardiographic measure representing the sum of ventricular depolarization and repolarization, estimated by QRS duration and JT interval, respectively. QT interval abnormalities are associated with potentially fatal ventricular arrhythmia. Using genome-wide multi-ancestry analyses (>250,000 individuals) we identify 177, 156 and 121 independent loci for QT, JT and QRS, respectively, including a male-specific X-chromosome locus. Using gene-based rare-variant methods, we identify associations with Mendelian disease genes. Enrichments are observed in established pathways for QT and JT, and previously unreported genes indicated in insulin-receptor signalling and cardiac energy metabolism. In contrast for QRS, connective tissue components and processes for ce

• 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

• A genetic map of human metabolism across the allele frequency spectrum - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41044249

  ABSTRACT: Genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and allelic breadth. Here we provide a data-driven map of the genetic regulation of circulating small molecules and lipoprotein characteristics (249 traits) measured using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy across the allele frequency spectrum in ~450,000 individuals. Trans-ancestral meta-analyses identify 29,824 locus-metabolite associations mapping to 753 regions with effects largely consistent between men and women and large ancestral groups represented in UK Biobank. We observe and classify extreme genetic pleiotropy, identify regulators of lipid metabolism, and assign effector genes at >100 loci through rare-to-common allelic series. We propose roles for genes less established in metabolic control (
