  • Quantitative and Qualitative Role of Antagonistic Heterogeneity in Genetics of Blood Lipids. - The journals of gerontology. Series A, Biological sciences and medical sciences (2021) · Kulminski AM, Loika Y, Nazarian A, Culminskaya I · PubMed 31566214

    Prevailing strategies in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) mostly rely on principles of medical genetics emphasizing one gene, one function, one phenotype concept. Here, we performed GWAS of blood lipids leveraging a new systemic concept emphasizing complexity of genetic predisposition to such phenotypes. We focused on total cholesterol, low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterols, and triglycerides available for 29,902 individuals of European ancestry from seven independent studies, men and women combined. To implement the new concept, we leveraged the inherent heterogeneity in genetic predisposition to such complex phenotypes and emphasized a new counter intuitive phenomenon of antagonistic genetic heterogeneity, which is characterized by misalignment of the directions of genetic

  • Population-based genome-wide association studies reveal six loci influencing plasma levels of liver enzymes. - American journal of human genetics (2008) · Yuan X, Waterworth D, Perry JR, Lim N, Song K, Chambers JC, Zhang W, Vollenweider P, Stirnadel H, Johnson T, Bergmann S, Beckmann ND, Li Y, Ferrucci L, Melzer D, Hernandez D, Singleton A, Scott J, Elliott P, Waeber G, Cardon L, Frayling TM, Kooner JS, Mooser V · PubMed 18940312

    Plasma liver-enzyme tests are widely used in the clinic for the diagnosis of liver diseases and for monitoring the response to drug treatment. There is considerable evidence that human genetic variation influences plasma levels of liver enzymes. However, such genetic variation has not been systematically assessed. In the present study, we performed a genome-wide association study of plasma liver-enzyme levels in three populations (total n = 7715) with replication in three additional cohorts (total n = 4704). We identified two loci influencing plasma levels of alanine-aminotransferase (ALT) (CPN1-ERLIN1-CHUK on chromosome 10 and PNPLA3-SAMM50 on chromosome 22), one locus influencing gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) levels (HNF1A on chromosome 12), and three loci for alkaline phosphatase (AL

  • Diversity and scale: Genetic architecture of 2068 traits in the VA Million Veteran Program - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39024449

    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

  • Testosterone and socioeconomic position: Mendelian randomization in 306,248 men and women in UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34321204

    ABSTRACT: Mendelian randomization suggests circulating testosterone does not meaningfully affect men's socioeconomic position. Men with more advantaged socioeconomic position (SEP) have been observed to have higher levels of testosterone. It is unclear whether these associations arise because testosterone has a causal impact on SEP. In 306,248 participants of UK Biobank, we performed sex-stratified genome-wide association analysis to identify genetic variants associated with testosterone. Using the identified variants, we performed Mendelian randomization analysis of the influence of testosterone on socioeconomic position, including income, employment status, neighborhood-level deprivation, and educational qualifications; on health, including self-rated health and body mass index; and on

  • Exome-Chip Meta-Analysis Identifies Association between Variation in ANKRD26 and Platelet Aggregation - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29185836

    ABSTRACT: Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several variants associated with platelet function phenotypes; however, the proportion of variance explained by the identified variants is mostly small. Rare coding variants, particularly those with high potential for impact on protein structure/function, may have substantial impact on phenotype but are difficult to detect by GWAS. The main purpose of this study was to identify low frequency or rare variants associated with platelet function using genotype data from the Illumina HumanExome Bead Chip. Three family-based cohorts of European ancestry, including ~4,000 total subjects, comprised the discovery cohort, and two independent cohorts, one of European and one of African American ancestry, were used for replicati

  • Genetic architecture of routinely acquired blood tests in a British South Asian cohort - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39414775

    ABSTRACT: Understanding the genetic basis of routinely-acquired blood tests can provide insights into several aspects of human physiology. We report a genome-wide association study of 42 quantitative blood test traits defined using Electronic Healthcare Records (EHRs) of ~50,000 British Bangladeshi and British Pakistani adults. We demonstrate a causal variant within the PIEZO1 locus which was associated with alterations in red cell traits and glycated haemoglobin. Conditional analysis and within-ancestry fine mapping confirmed that this signal is driven by a missense variant - chr16-88716656-G-TT - which is common in South Asian ancestries (MAF 3.9%) but ultra-rare in other ancestries. Carriers of the T allele had lower mean HbA1c values, lower HbA1c values for a given level of random or

  • 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

  • A genetic map of human metabolism across the allele frequency spectrum - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41044249

    ABSTRACT: Genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and allelic breadth. Here we provide a data-driven map of the genetic regulation of circulating small molecules and lipoprotein characteristics (249 traits) measured using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy across the allele frequency spectrum in ~450,000 individuals. Trans-ancestral meta-analyses identify 29,824 locus-metabolite associations mapping to 753 regions with effects largely consistent between men and women and large ancestral groups represented in UK Biobank. We observe and classify extreme genetic pleiotropy, identify regulators of lipid metabolism, and assign effector genes at >100 loci through rare-to-common allelic series. We propose roles for genes less established in metabolic control (
