  • Genetic Modifiers of Cystic Fibrosis Lung Disease Severity: Whole-Genome Analysis of 7,840 Patients. - American journal of respiratory and critical care medicine (2023) · Zhou YH, Gallins PJ, Pace RG, Dang H, Aksit MA, Blue EE, Buckingham KJ, Collaco JM, Faino AV, Gordon WW, Hetrick KN, Ling H, Liu W, Onchiri FM, Pagel K, Pugh EW, Raraigh KS, Rosenfeld M, Sun Q, Wen J, Li Y, Corvol H, Strug LJ, Bamshad MJ, Blackman SM, Cutting GR, Gibson RL, O'Neal WK, Wright FA, Knowles MR · PubMed 36921087

    Lung disease is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in persons with cystic fibrosis (pwCF). Variability in CF lung disease has substantial non-CFTR (CF transmembrane conductance regulator) genetic influence. Identification of genetic modifiers has prognostic and therapeutic importance. Identify genetic modifier loci and genes/pathways associated with pulmonary disease severity. Whole-genome sequencing data on 4,248 unique pwCF with pancreatic insufficiency and lung function measures were combined with imputed genotypes from an additional 3,592 patients with pancreatic insufficiency from the United States, Canada, and France. This report describes association of approximately 15.9 million SNPs using the quantitative Kulich normal residual mortality-adjusted (KNoRMA) lung disease phen

  • Leveraging Polygenic Functional Enrichment to Improve GWAS Power. - American journal of human genetics (2019) · Kichaev G, Bhatia G, Loh PR, Gazal S, Burch K, Freund MK, Schoech A, Pasaniuc B, Price AL · PubMed 30595370

    Functional genomics data has the potential to increase GWAS power by identifying SNPs that have a higher prior probability of association. Here, we introduce a method that leverages polygenic functional enrichment to incorporate coding, conserved, regulatory, and LD-related genomic annotations into association analyses. We show via simulations with real genotypes that the method, functionally informed novel discovery of risk loci (FINDOR), correctly controls the false-positive rate at null loci and attains a 9%-38% increase in the number of independent associations detected at causal loci, depending on trait polygenicity and sample size. We applied FINDOR to 27 independent complex traits and diseases from the interim UK Biobank release (average N = 130K). Averaged across traits, we attaine

  • Genetic analyses of diverse populations improves discovery for complex traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31217584

    ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have laid the foundation for investigations into the biology of complex traits, drug development and clinical guidelines. However, the majority of discovery efforts are based on data from populations of European ancestry. In light of the differential genetic architecture that is known to exist between populations, bias in representation can exacerbate existing disease and healthcare disparities. Critical variants may be missed if they have a low frequency or are completely absent in European populations, especially as the field shifts its attention towards rare variants, which are more likely to be population-specific. Additionally, effect sizes and their derived risk prediction scores derived in one population may not accurately extrapolate

  • Tissue-specific genetic variation suggests distinct molecular pathways between body shape phenotypes and colorectal cancer - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38640244

    ABSTRACT: It remains unknown whether adiposity subtypes are differentially associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). To move beyond single-trait anthropometric indicators, we derived four multi-trait body shape phenotypes reflecting adiposity subtypes from principal components analysis on body mass index, height, weight, waist-to-hip ratio, and waist and hip circumference. A generally obese (PC1) and a tall, centrally obese (PC3) body shape were both positively associated with CRC risk in observational analyses in 329,828 UK Biobank participants (3728 cases). In genome-wide association studies in 460,198 UK Biobank participants, we identified 3414 genetic variants across four body shapes and Mendelian randomization analyses confirmed positive associations of PC1 and PC3 with CRC risk (52,77

  • GWAS of allometric body-shape indices in UK Biobank identifies loci suggesting associations with morphogenesis, organogenesis, adrenal cell renewal and cancer - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34021172

    ABSTRACT: Genetic studies have examined body-shape measures adjusted for body mass index (BMI), while allometric indices are additionally adjusted for height. We performed the first genome-wide association study of A Body Shape Index (ABSI), Hip Index (HI) and the new Waist-to-Hip Index and compared these with traditional indices, using data from the UK Biobank Resource for 219,872 women and 186,825 men with white British ancestry and Bayesian linear mixed-models (BOLT-LMM). One to two thirds of the loci identified for allometric body-shape indices were novel. Most prominent was rs72959041 variant in RSPO3 gene, expressed in visceral adipose tissue and regulating adrenal cell renewal. Highly ranked were genes related to morphogenesis and organogenesis, previously additionally linked to can
