  • Combining cross-sectional and longitudinal genomic approaches to identify determinants of cognitive and physical decline - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40374629

    ABSTRACT: Large-scale genomic studies focusing on the genetic contribution to human aging have mostly relied on cross-sectional data. With the release of longitudinally curated aging phenotypes by the UK Biobank (UKBB), it is now possible to study aging over time at genome-wide scale. In this work, we evaluated the suitability of competing models of change in realistic simulation settings, performed genome-wide association scans on simulation-validated measures of age-related deweekcline, and followed up with LD-score regression and Mendelian Randomization (MR) analyses. Focusing on global cognitive and physical function, we observed marked differences between baseline function (θ) and accelerated decline (Δ). Both outcomes showed distinct heritability levels (e.g., 31.38% versus 3.15%

  • Deciphering tissue-specific protein regulation for insights into cardiometabolic disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41456820

    ABSTRACT: Understanding tissue-specific mechanisms of protein regulation gives crucial insights into cardiometabolic disease and informs drug discovery. Most proteomic studies have primarily concentrated on plasma, overlooking tissue-specific effects. Utilizing Olink technology, we assessed relative protein levels across plasma and tissue (aortic wall, mammary artery, liver, and skeletal muscle) from the STARNET cohort: 284 individuals with a high prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD). We identified 608 cis protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs), primarily in plasma, reflecting greater protein variability. Of 190 proteins with cis-pQTLs in non-plasma tissues, 50% also had plasma pQTLs, validating Olink technology in these tissues while reinforcing the relevance of plasma data for un
