• Multivariate analysis of 1.5 million people identifies genetic associations with traits related to self-regulation and addiction - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34446935

  ABSTRACT: Behaviors and disorders related to self-regulation, such as substance use, antisocial behavior, and ADHD, are collectively referred to as externalizing and have shared genetic liability. We applied a multivariate approach that leverages genetic correlations among externalizing traits for genome-wide association analyses. By pooling data from ~1.5 million people, our approach is statistically more powerful than single-trait analyses and identifies more than 500 genetic loci. The loci were enriched for genes expressed in the brain and related to nervous system development. A polygenic score constructed from our results predicts a range of behavioral and medical outcomes that were not part of genome-wide analyses, including traits that until now lacked well-performing polygenic scor

• Multivariate genomic analysis of 5 million people elucidates the genetic architecture of shared components of the metabolic syndrome - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39349817

  ABSTRACT: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex hereditary condition comprising various metabolic traits as risk factors. Although the genetics of individual MetS components have been investigated actively through large-scale genome-wide association studies, the conjoint genetic architecture has not been fully elucidated. Here, we performed the largest multivariate genome-wide association study of MetS in Europe (nobserved = 4,947,860) by leveraging genetic correlation between MetS components. We identified 1,307 genetic loci associated with MetS that were enriched primarily in brain tissues. Using transcriptomic data, we identified 11 genes associated strongly with MetS. Our phenome-wide association and Mendelian randomization analyses highlighted associations of MetS with diverse di
