• Shared genetic architecture between COVID-19 and irritable bowel syndrome: a large-scale genome-wide cross-trait analysis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39620219

  ABSTRACT: Background It has been reported that COVID-19 patients have an increased risk of developing IBS; however, the underlying genetic mechanisms of these associations remain largely unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate potential shared SNPs, genes, proteins, and biological pathways between COVID-19 and IBS by assessing pairwise genetic correlations and cross-trait genetic analysis. Materials and methods We assessed the genetic correlation between three COVID-19 phenotypes and IBS using linkage disequilibrium score regression (LDSC) and high-definition likelihood (HDL) methods. Two different sources of IBS data were combined using METAL, and the Multi-trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG) method was applied for multi-trait analysis to enhance statistical robustness and discover ne

• High Blood Pressure and Intraocular Pressure: A Mendelian Randomization Study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35762941

  ABSTRACT: Purpose To test for causality with regard to the association between blood pressure (BP) and intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma. Methods Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with BP were identified in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of 526,001 participants of European ancestry. These SNPs were used to assess the BP versus IOP relationship in a distinct sample (n = 70,832) whose corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc) was measured. To evaluate the BP versus primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) relationship, additional Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted using published GWAS summary statistics. Results Observational analysis revealed a linear relationship between BP traits and IOPcc, with a +0.28 mm Hg increase in IOPcc per 10-mm Hg inc
