• Genetic architecture reconciles linkage and association studies of complex traits. - Nature genetics (2024) · Sidorenko J, Couvy-Duchesne B, Kemper KE, Moen GH, Bhatta L, Åsvold BO, Mägi R, Ani A, Wang R, Nolte IM, Gordon S, Hayward C, Campbell A, Benjamin DJ, Cesarini D, Evans DM, Goddard ME, Haley CS, Porteous D, Medland SE, Martin NG, Snieder H, Metspalu A, Hveem K, Brumpton B, Visscher PM, Yengo L · PubMed 39375568

  Linkage studies have successfully mapped loci underlying monogenic disorders, but mostly failed when applied to common diseases. Conversely, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified replicable associations between thousands of SNPs and complex traits, yet capture less than half of the total heritability. In the present study we reconcile these two approaches by showing that linkage signals of height and body mass index (BMI) from 119,000 sibling pairs colocalize with GWAS-identified loci. Concordant with polygenicity, we observed the following: a genome-wide inflation of linkage test statistics; that GWAS results predict linkage signals; and that adjusting phenotypes for polygenic scores reduces linkage signals. Finally, we developed a method using recombination rate-stratif

• Genetic evidence that high BMI in childhood has a protective effect on intermediate diabetes traits, including measures of insulin sensitivity and secretion, after accounting for BMI in adulthood - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37280435

  ABSTRACT: Aims/hypothesis Determining how high BMI at different time points influences the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and affects insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity is critical. Methods By estimating childhood BMI in 441,761 individuals in the UK Biobank, we identified which genetic variants had larger effects on adulthood BMI than on childhood BMI, and vice versa. All genome-wide significant genetic variants were then used to separate the independent genetic effects of high childhood BMI from those of high adulthood BMI on the risk of type 2 diabetes and insulin-related phenotypes using Mendelian randomisation. We performed two-sample MR using external studies of type 2 diabetes, and oral and intravenous measures of insulin secretion and sensitivity. Results We found tha
