• Genome-wide association study of thyroid-stimulating hormone highlights new genes, pathways and associations with thyroid disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37872160

  ABSTRACT: Thyroid hormones play a critical role in regulation of multiple physiological functions and thyroid dysfunction is associated with substantial morbidity. Here, we use electronic health records to undertake a genome-wide association study of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, with a total sample size of 247,107. We identify 158 novel genetic associations, more than doubling the number of known associations with TSH, and implicate 112 putative causal genes, of which 76 are not previously implicated. A polygenic score for TSH is associated with TSH levels in African, South Asian, East Asian, Middle Eastern and admixed American ancestries, and associated with hypothyroidism and other thyroid disease in South Asians. In Europeans, the TSH polygenic score is associated with thyr

• Meta-analysis of 542,934 subjects of European ancestry identifies new genes and mechanisms predisposing to refractive error and myopia - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32231278

  ABSTRACT: Refractive errors, in particular myopia, are a leading cause of morbidity and disability world-wide. Genetic investigation can improve understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying abnormal eye development and impaired vision. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies involving 542,934 European participants and identified 336 novel genetic loci associated with refractive error. Collectively, all associated genetic variants explain 18.4% of heritability and improve the accuracy of myopia prediction (AUC=0.75). Our results suggest that refractive error is genetically heterogeneous, driven by genes participating in the development of every anatomical component of the eye. In addition, our analyses suggest that genetic factors controlling circadian rhythm
