• Genome-Wide Gene-by-Smoking Interaction Study of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. - American journal of epidemiology (2021) · Kim W, Prokopenko D, Sakornsakolpat P, Hobbs BD, Lutz SM, Hokanson JE, Wain LV, Melbourne CA, Shrine N, Tobin MD, Silverman EK, Cho MH, Beaty TH · PubMed 33106845

  Risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is determined by both cigarette smoking and genetic susceptibility, but little is known about gene-by-smoking interactions. We performed a genome-wide association analysis of 179,689 controls and 21,077 COPD cases from UK Biobank subjects of European ancestry recruited from 2006 to 2010, considering genetic main effects and gene-by-smoking interaction effects simultaneously (2-degrees-of-freedom (df) test) as well as interaction effects alone (1-df interaction test). We sought to replicate significant results in COPDGene (United States, 2008-2010) and SpiroMeta Consortium (multiple countries, 1947-2015) data. We considered 2 smoking variables: 1) ever/never and 2) current/noncurrent. In the 1-df test, we identified 1 genome-wide signific

• GWAS of allometric body-shape indices in UK Biobank identifies loci suggesting associations with morphogenesis, organogenesis, adrenal cell renewal and cancer - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34021172

  ABSTRACT: Genetic studies have examined body-shape measures adjusted for body mass index (BMI), while allometric indices are additionally adjusted for height. We performed the first genome-wide association study of A Body Shape Index (ABSI), Hip Index (HI) and the new Waist-to-Hip Index and compared these with traditional indices, using data from the UK Biobank Resource for 219,872 women and 186,825 men with white British ancestry and Bayesian linear mixed-models (BOLT-LMM). One to two thirds of the loci identified for allometric body-shape indices were novel. Most prominent was rs72959041 variant in RSPO3 gene, expressed in visceral adipose tissue and regulating adrenal cell renewal. Highly ranked were genes related to morphogenesis and organogenesis, previously additionally linked to can

• Genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies two novel loci associated with dental caries - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39192244

  ABSTRACT: Background Tooth loss significantly impacts oral function and overall health deterioration. Dental caries and periodontal disease are major contributors to tooth loss, emphasizing the critical need to prevent these conditions. Genetic studies have played a crucial role in deepening our understanding of the underlying mechanisms of these diseases. While large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on dental caries and periodontal disease have been conducted extensively, research focusing on Asian populations remains limited. Given substantial genetic and lifestyle variations across ethnicities, conducting studies across diverse populations is imperative. This study aimed to uncover new insights into the genetic mechanisms of these diseases, contributing to broader knowledge
