  • Genome-wide association of polygenic risk extremes for Alzheimer's disease in the UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35589863

    ABSTRACT: In just over a decade, advances in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have offered an approach to stratify individuals based on genetic risk for disease. Using recent Alzheimer's disease (AD) GWAS results as the base data, we determined each individual's polygenic risk score (PRS) in the UK Biobank dataset. Using individuals within the extreme risk distribution, we performed a GWAS that is agnostic of AD phenotype and is instead based on known genetic risk for disease. To interpret the functions of the new risk factors, we conducted phenotype analyses, including a phenome-wide association study. We identified 246 loci surpassing the significance threshold of which 229 were not reported in the base AD GWAS. These include loci that showed suggestive levels of association in the

  • GWAS and multi-omics integrative analysis reveal novel loci and their molecular mechanisms for circulating fatty acids - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40545721

    ABSTRACT: Summary Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic loci associated with the circulating levels of fatty acids (FAs), but the biological mechanisms of these genetic associations remain largely unexplored. Here, we conducted GWAS to identify additional genetic loci for 19 circulating FA traits in UK Biobank participants of European ancestry (n = 239,268) and five other ancestries (n = 508-4,663). We leveraged the GWAS findings to characterize genetic correlations and colocalized regions among FAs, explore sex differences, examine FA loci influenced by lipoprotein metabolism, and apply statistical fine-mapping to pinpoint putative causal variants. We integrated GWAS signals with multi-omics quantitative trait loci (QTL) to reveal intermediate molecular
