• Comprehensive genetic study of the insulin resistance marker TG:HDL-C in the UK Biobank. - Nature genetics (2024) · Oliveri A, Rebernick RJ, Kuppa A, Pant A, Chen Y, Du X, Cushing KC, Bell HN, Raut C, Prabhu P, Chen VL, Halligan BD, Speliotes EK · PubMed 38200128

  Insulin resistance (IR) is a well-established risk factor for metabolic disease. The ratio of triglycerides to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TG:HDL-C) is a surrogate marker of IR. We conducted a genome-wide association study of the TG:HDL-C ratio in 402,398 Europeans within the UK Biobank. We identified 369 independent SNPs, of which 114 had a false discovery rate-adjusted P value < 0.05 in other genome-wide studies of IR making them high-confidence IR-associated loci. Seventy-two of these 114 loci have not been previously associated with IR. These 114 loci cluster into five groups upon phenome-wide analysis and are enriched for candidate genes important in insulin signaling, adipocyte physiology and protein metabolism. We created a polygenic-risk score from the high-confidence

• Genome-wide association studies in a large Korean cohort identify quantitative trait loci for 36 traits and illuminate their genetic architectures - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40436827

  ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have predominantly focused on European ancestry populations, limiting biological discoveries across diverse populations. Here we report GWAS findings from 153,950 individuals across 36 quantitative traits in the Korean Cancer Prevention Study-II (KCPS2) Biobank. We discovered 301 previously unreported genetic loci in KCPS2, including an association between thyroid-stimulating hormone and CD36. Meta-analysis with the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, Biobank Japan, Taiwan Biobank, and UK Biobank identified 4588 loci that were not significant in any contributing GWAS. We describe differences in genetic architectures across these East Asian and European samples. We also highlight East Asian specific associations, including a known pleiotrop

• The power of genetic diversity in genome-wide association studies of lipids - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34887591

  ABSTRACT: Elevated blood lipid levels are heritable risk factors of cardiovascular disease with varying prevalence worldwide due to differing dietary patterns and medication use. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, particularly through the lowering of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of blood lipid levels have led to important biological and clinical insights, as well as new drug targets, for cardiovascular disease. However, most previous GWAS have been conducted in European ancestry populations and may have missed genetic variants contributing to lipid level variation in other ancestry groups due to differences in allele frequencies, effect sizes, and linkage-disequilibr

• Evaluating the relationship between circulating lipoprotein lipids and apolipoproteins with risk of coronary heart disease: A multivariable Mendelian randomisation analysis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32203549

  ABSTRACT: Background Circulating lipoprotein lipids cause coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the precise way in which one or more lipoprotein lipid-related entities account for this relationship remains unclear. Using genetic instruments for lipoprotein lipid traits implemented through multivariable Mendelian randomisation (MR), we sought to compare their causal roles in the aetiology of CHD. Methods and findings We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of circulating non-fasted lipoprotein lipid traits in the UK Biobank (UKBB) for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B to identify lipid-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Using data from CARDIoGRAMplusC4D for CHD (consisting of 60,801 cases and 123,504 controls), we per
