  • Translational genomics of osteoarthritis in 1,962,069 individuals - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40205036

    ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis is the third most rapidly growing health condition associated with disability, after dementia and diabetes. By 2050, the total number of patients with osteoarthritis is estimated to reach 1 billion worldwide. As no disease-modifying treatments exist for osteoarthritis, a better understanding of disease aetiopathology is urgently needed. Here we perform a genome-wide association study meta-analyses across up to 489,975 cases and 1,472,094 controls, establishing 962 independent associations, 513 of which have not been previously reported. Using single-cell multiomics data, we identify signal enrichment in embryonic skeletal development pathways. We integrate orthogonal lines of evidence, including transcriptome, proteome and epigenome profiles of primary joint tiss

  • Risk Variants Associated With Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39141892

    ABSTRACT: Background and Objectives Large-scale genome-wide studies of chronic hydrocephalus have been lacking. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Methods We used a case-control study design implementing FinnGen data containing 473,691 Finns with genotypes and nationwide health records. Patients with NPH were selected based on ICD-10 G91.2 diagnosis. To select patients with idiopathic NPH (iNPH) for sensitivity analysis, we excluded patients with a potentially known etiology of the condition using an algorithm on their disease history. The controls were the remaining non-hydrocephalic participants. For a replication analysis, the NPH cohort from UK Biobank (UKBB) was used. Results We included 1,522 patients with NPH (mean age 72.2 ye

  • Pan-cancer study detects genetic risk variants and shared genetic basis in two large cohorts - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32887889

    ABSTRACT: Deciphering the shared genetic basis of distinct cancers has the potential to elucidate carcinogenic mechanisms and inform broadly applicable risk assessment efforts. Here, we undertake genome-wide association studies (GWAS) and comprehensive evaluations of heritability and pleiotropy across 18 cancer types in two large, population-based cohorts: the UK Biobank (408,786 European ancestry individuals; 48,961 cancer cases) and the Kaiser Permanente Genetic Epidemiology Research on Adult Health and Aging cohorts (66,526 European ancestry individuals; 16,001 cancer cases). The GWAS detect 21 genome-wide significant associations independent of previously reported results. Investigations of pleiotropy identify 12 cancer pairs exhibiting either positive or negative genetic correlations;

  • Discovery of genomic loci of the human cerebral cortex using genetically informed brain atlases* - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35113692

    ABSTRACT: To determine the impact of genetic variants on the brain, we used genetically-informed brain atlases in genome-wide association studies of regional cortical surface area and thickness in 39,898 adults and 9136 children. We uncovered 440 genome-wide significant loci in the discovery cohort and 800 from a post-hoc combined meta-analysis. Loci in adulthood were largely captured in childhood, showing signatures of negative selection, and were linked to early neurodevelopment and pathways associated with neuropsychiatric risk. Opposing gradations of decreased surface area and increased thickness were associated with common inversion polymorphisms. Inferior frontal regions, encompassing Broca's area which is important for speech, were enriched for human-specific genomic elements. Thu

  • The genetic architecture of human cerebellar morphology supports a key role for the cerebellum in human evolution and psychopathology - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41703085

    ABSTRACT: The functional domain of the cerebellum has expanded beyond motor control to also include cognitive and affective functions. In line with this notion, cerebellar volume has increased over recent primate evolution, and cerebellar alterations have been linked to heritable mental disorders. To map the genetic architecture of human cerebellar morphology, we here studied a large imaging genetics sample from the UK Biobank (n discovery = 27,302; n replication: 11,264) with state-of-the art neuroimaging and biostatistics tools. Multivariate GWAS on regional cerebellar MRI features yielded 351 significant genetic loci (226 novel, 94% replicated). Lead SNPs showed positive enrichment for relatively recent genetic mutations over the last 20-40k years (i.e., overlapping the Upper Paleolithi

  • Case-Case Genome-Wide Analyses Identify Subtype-Informative Variants that Confer Risk for Breast Cancer - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38832928

    ABSTRACT: Breast cancer includes several subtypes with distinct characteristic biological, pathological, and clinical features. Elucidating subtype-specific genetic etiology could provide insights into the heterogeneity of breast cancer to facilitate development of improved prevention and treatment approaches. Here, we conducted pairwise case-case comparisons among five breast cancer subtypes by applying a case-case GWAS (CC-GWAS) approach to summary statistics data of the Breast Cancer Association Consortium. The approach identified 13 statistically significant loci and eight suggestive loci, the majority of which were identified from comparisons between triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and luminal A breast cancer. Associations of lead variants in 12 loci remained statistically signif

  • Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for body fat distribution in 694 649 individuals of European ancestry - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30239722

    ABSTRACT: Abstract More than one in three adults worldwide is either overweight or obese. Epidemiological studies indicate that the location and distribution of excess fat, rather than general adiposity, are more informative for predicting risk of obesity sequelae, including cardiometabolic disease and cancer. We performed a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of body fat distribution, measured by waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) adjusted for body mass index (WHRadjBMI), and identified 463 signals in 346 loci. Heritability and variant effects were generally stronger in women than men, and we found approximately one-third of all signals to be sexually dimorphic. The 5% of individuals carrying the most WHRadjBMI-increasing alleles were 1.62 times more likely than the bottom 5% to have a WHR

  • The genetic architecture of human cortical folding - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34910505

    ABSTRACT: The first genome-wide study of sulcal depth shows that it is highly genetically discoverable, associated with neurodevelopment. The folding of the human cerebral cortex is a highly genetically regulated process that allows for a much larger surface area to fit into the cranial vault and optimizes functional organization. Sulcal depth is a robust yet understudied measure of localized folding, previously associated with multiple neurodevelopmental disorders. Here, we report the first genome-wide association study of sulcal depth. Through the multivariate omnibus statistical test (MOSTest) applied to vertex-wise measures from 33,748 U.K. Biobank participants (mean age, 64.3 years; 52.0% female), we identified 856 genome-wide significant loci (P < 5 × 10−8). Comparisons with corti
