  • 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%

  • Exploiting meta-analysis of genome-wide interaction with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D to identify novel genetic loci associated with pulmonary function - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38484975

    ABSTRACT: Background Higher 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations in serum has a positive association with pulmonary function. Investigating genome-wide interactions with 25(OH)D may reveal new biological insights into pulmonary function. Objectives We aimed to identify novel genetic variants associated with pulmonary function by accounting for 25(OH)D interactions. Methods We included 211,264 participants from the observational United Kingdom Biobank study with pulmonary function tests (PFTs), genome-wide genotypes, and 25(OH)D concentrations from 4 ancestral backgrounds-European, African, East Asian, and South Asian. Among PFTs, we focused on forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) and forced vital capacity (FVC) because both were previously associated with 25(OH)D.
