  • Larger cerebral cortex is genetically correlated with greater frontal area and dorsal thickness - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36893272

    ABSTRACT: Significance Adjusting vs. retaining global measures in analysis of brain MRI data has been a long-standing question and can have important implications for genomic studies of the cortex. Adjusting for global measures ensures that results for regions of interest are not confounded by overall larger brain size. However, adjusting for globals may throw away important signal when total and regional measures are correlated. We show that retaining vs. adjusting for global brain measures in genomic studies impacts gene discovery, particularly for fronto-parietal cortex. Understanding the genetic factors that contribute to expanded association areas in the human brain, such as the prefrontal cortex, can help provide mechanistic insight into higher human cognition and its unique developm

  • 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
