  • Cross-ancestry Genome-wide Association Studies of Sex Hormone Concentrations in Pre- and Postmenopausal Women. - Endocrinology (2022) · Haas CB, Hsu L, Lampe JW, Wernli KJ, Lindström S · PubMed 35192695

    Concentrations of circulating sex hormones have been associated with a variety of diseases in women and are strongly influenced by menopausal status. We investigated the genetic architectures of circulating concentrations of estradiol, testosterone, and SHBG by menopausal status in women of European and African ancestry. Using data on 229 966 women from the UK Biobank, we conducted genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of circulating concentrations of estradiol, testosterone, and SHBG in premenopausal and postmenopausal women. We tested for evidence of heterogeneity of genetic effects by menopausal status and genetic ancestry. We conducted gene-based enrichment analyses to identify tissues in which genes with GWAS-enriched signals were expressed. We identified 4 loci (5q35.2, 12q14.3, 19

  • A cross-population atlas of genetic associations for 220 human phenotypes. - Nature genetics (2021) · Sakaue S, Kanai M, Tanigawa Y, Karjalainen J, Kurki M, Koshiba S, Narita A, Konuma T, Yamamoto K, Akiyama M, Ishigaki K, Suzuki A, Suzuki K, Obara W, Yamaji K, Takahashi K, Asai S, Takahashi Y, Suzuki T, Shinozaki N, Yamaguchi H, Minami S, Murayama S, Yoshimori K, Nagayama S, Obata D, Higashiyama M, Masumoto A, Koretsune Y, Ito K, Terao C, Yamauchi T, Komuro I, Kadowaki T, Tamiya G, Yamamoto M, Nakamura Y, Kubo M, Murakami Y, Yamamoto K, Kamatani Y, Palotie A, Rivas MA, Daly MJ, Matsuda K, Okada Y · PubMed 34594039

    Current genome-wide association studies do not yet capture sufficient diversity in populations and scope of phenotypes. To expand an atlas of genetic associations in non-European populations, we conducted 220 deep-phenotype genome-wide association studies (diseases, biomarkers and medication usage) in BioBank Japan (n = 179,000), by incorporating past medical history and text-mining of electronic medical records. Meta-analyses with the UK Biobank and FinnGen (n = 628,000) identified ~5,000 new loci, which improved the resolution of the genomic map of human traits. This atlas elucidated the landscape of pleiotropy as represented by the major histocompatibility complex locus, where we conducted HLA fine-mapping. Finally, we performed statistical decomposition of matrices of phenome-wid

  • FLT3 stop mutation increases FLT3 ligand level and risk of autoimmune thyroid disease. - Nature (2020) · Saevarsdottir S, Olafsdottir TA, Ivarsdottir EV, Halldorsson GH, Gunnarsdottir K, Sigurdsson A, Johannesson A, Sigurdsson JK, Juliusdottir T, Lund SH, Arnthorsson AO, Styrmisdottir EL, Gudmundsson J, Grondal GM, Steinsson K, Alfredsson L, Askling J, Benediktsson R, Bjarnason R, Geirsson AJ, Gudbjornsson B, Gudjonsson H, Hjaltason H, Hreidarsson AB, Klareskog L, Kockum I, Kristjansdottir H, Love TJ, Ludviksson BR, Olsson T, Onundarson PT, Orvar KB, Padyukov L, Sigurgeirsson B, Tragante V, Bjarnadottir K, Rafnar T, Masson G, Sulem P, Gudbjartsson DF, Melsted P, Thorleifsson G, Norddahl GL, Thorsteinsdottir U, Jonsdottir I, Stefansson K · PubMed 32581359

    Autoimmune thyroid disease is the most common autoimmune disease and is highly heritable . Here, by using a genome-wide association study of 30,234 cases and 725,172 controls from Iceland and the UK Biobank, we find 99 sequence variants at 93 loci, of which 84 variants are previously unreported . A low-frequency (1.36%) intronic variant in FLT3 (rs76428106-C) has the largest effect on risk of autoimmune thyroid disease (odds ratio (OR) = 1.46, P = 2.37 × 10 ). rs76428106-C is also associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (OR = 1.90, P = 6.46 × 10 ), rheumatoid factor and/or anti-CCP-positive rheumatoid arthritis (OR = 1.41, P = 4.31 × 10 ) and coeliac disease (OR = 1.62, P = 1.20 × 10 ). FLT3 encodes fms-related tyrosine kinase 3, a receptor that regulat

  • A scalable variational inference approach for increased mixed-model association power - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39789286

    ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of modern biobanks is creating new opportunities for large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and the analysis of complex traits. However, performing GWASs on millions of samples often leads to trade-offs between computational efficiency and statistical power, reducing the benefits of large-scale data collection efforts. We developed Quickdraws, a method that increases association power in quantitative and binary traits without sacrificing computational efficiency, leveraging a spike-and-slab prior on variant effects, stochastic variational inference and graphics processing unit acceleration. We applied Quickdraws to 79 quantitative and 50 binary traits in 405,088 UK Biobank samples, identifying 4.97% and 3.25% more associations than REGENIE and 22.71%

  • 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

  • Using human genetics to understand the disease impacts of testosterone in men and women - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32042192

    ABSTRACT: Testosterone supplementation is commonly used for its effects on sexual function, bone health and body composition, yet its effects on disease outcomes are unknown. To better understand this, we identified genetic determinants of testosterone levels and related sex hormone traits in 425,097 UK Biobank study participants. Using 2,571 genome-wide significant associations, we demonstrate the genetic determinants of testosterone levels are substantially different between sexes, and that genetically higher testosterone is harmful for metabolic diseases in women but beneficial in men. For example, a genetically determined 1-standard deviation higher testosterone increases the risks of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) (OR=1.37 [1.22-1.53]) and polycystic ovary syndrome (OR=1.51 [1.33-1.72]) in

  • The genetic architecture of appendicular lean mass characterized by association analysis in the UK Biobank study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33097823

    ABSTRACT: Appendicular lean mass (ALM) is a heritable trait associated with loss of lean muscle mass and strength, or sarcopenia, but its genetic determinants are largely unknown. Here we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 450,243 UK Biobank participants to uncover its genetic architecture. A total of 1059 conditionally independent variants from 799 loci were identified at the genome-wide significance level (p < 5 × 10−9), all of which were also significant at p < 5 × 10-5 in both sexes. These variants explained ~15.5% of the phenotypic variance, accounting for more than one quarter of the total ~50% GWAS-attributable heritability. There was no difference in genetic effect between sexes or among different age strata. Heritability was enriched in cer
