• A scalable variational inference approach for increased mixed-model association power - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39789286

  ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of modern biobanks is creating new opportunities for large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and the analysis of complex traits. However, performing GWASs on millions of samples often leads to trade-offs between computational efficiency and statistical power, reducing the benefits of large-scale data collection efforts. We developed Quickdraws, a method that increases association power in quantitative and binary traits without sacrificing computational efficiency, leveraging a spike-and-slab prior on variant effects, stochastic variational inference and graphics processing unit acceleration. We applied Quickdraws to 79 quantitative and 50 binary traits in 405,088 UK Biobank samples, identifying 4.97% and 3.25% more associations than REGENIE and 22.71%

• 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 large electronic health record-based genome-wide study of serum lipids - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29507422

  ABSTRACT: A genome-wide association study of 94,674 multi-ethnic Kaiser Permanente members utilizing 478,866 longitudinal untreated serum lipid electronic-health-record-derived measurements (EHRs) empowered multiple novel findings: 121 new SNP associations (46 primary, 15 conditional, 60 in meta-analysis with Global Lipids Genetic Consortium); increase of 33-42% in variance explained with multiple measurements; sex differences in genetic impact (greater in females for LDL, HDL, TC, the opposite for TG); differences in variance explained amongst non-Hispanic whites, Latinos, African Americans, and East Asians; genetic dominance and epistasis, with strong evidence for both at ABOxFUT2 for LDL; and eQTL tissue-enrichment implicating the liver, adipose, and pancreas.
