  • An expanded set of genome-wide association studies of brain imaging phenotypes in UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33875891

    ABSTRACT: UK Biobank is a major prospective epidemiological study, including multimodal brain imaging, genetics and ongoing health outcomes. Previously, we published genome-wide associations of 3,144 brain imaging-derived phenotypes, with a discovery sample of 8,428 subjects. Here we present a new open resource of GWAS summary statistics, using the 2020 data release, almost tripling the discovery sample size. We now include the X chromosome, and new classes of image derived phenotypes (subcortical volumes and tissue contrast). Previously we had found 148 replicated clusters of associations between genetic variants and imaging phenotypes; here we find 692, including 12 on the X chromosome. We describe some of the newly found associations, focussing on the X chromosome and autosomal associat

  • Cross-ancestry analyses identify new genetic loci associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37963177

    ABSTRACT: Vitamin D status-a complex trait influenced by environmental and genetic factors-is tightly associated with skin colour and ancestry. Yet very few studies have investigated the genetic underpinnings of vitamin D levels across diverse ancestries, and the ones that have, relied on small sample sizes, resulting in inconclusive results. Here, we conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD)-the main circulating form of vitamin D-in 442,435 individuals from four broad genetically-determined ancestry groups represented in the UK Biobank: European (N = 421,867), South Asian (N = 9,983), African (N = 8,306) and East Asian (N = 2,279). We identify a new genetic determinant of 25OHD (rs146759773) in individuals of African ancestry, which was not dete

  • Genome-wide association study identifies 143 loci associated with 25 hydroxyvitamin D concentration - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32242144

    ABSTRACT: Vitamin D deficiency is a candidate risk factor for a range of adverse health outcomes. In a genome-wide association study of 25 hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) concentration in 417,580 Europeans we identify 143 independent loci in 112 1-Mb regions, providing insights into the physiology of vitamin D and implicating genes involved in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism, dermal tissue properties, and the sulphonation and glucuronidation of 25OHD. Mendelian randomization models find no robust evidence that 25OHD concentration has causal effects on candidate phenotypes (e.g. BMI, psychiatric disorders), but many phenotypes have (direct or indirect) causal effects on 25OHD concentration, clarifying the epidemiological relationship between 25OHD status and the health outcomes examined in this s
