• Leveraging Polygenic Functional Enrichment to Improve GWAS Power. - American journal of human genetics (2019) · Kichaev G, Bhatia G, Loh PR, Gazal S, Burch K, Freund MK, Schoech A, Pasaniuc B, Price AL · PubMed 30595370

  Functional genomics data has the potential to increase GWAS power by identifying SNPs that have a higher prior probability of association. Here, we introduce a method that leverages polygenic functional enrichment to incorporate coding, conserved, regulatory, and LD-related genomic annotations into association analyses. We show via simulations with real genotypes that the method, functionally informed novel discovery of risk loci (FINDOR), correctly controls the false-positive rate at null loci and attains a 9%-38% increase in the number of independent associations detected at causal loci, depending on trait polygenicity and sample size. We applied FINDOR to 27 independent complex traits and diseases from the interim UK Biobank release (average N = 130K). Averaged across traits, we attaine

• Sex‐specific genetic architecture of late‐life memory performance - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37984853

  ABSTRACT: Abstract BACKGROUND Women demonstrate a memory advantage when cognitively healthy yet lose this advantage to men in Alzheimer's disease. However, the genetic underpinnings of this sex difference in memory performance remain unclear. METHODS We conducted the largest sex‐aware genetic study on late‐life memory to date (N males = 11,942; N females = 15,641). Leveraging harmonized memory composite scores from four cohorts of cognitive aging and AD, we performed sex‐stratified and sex‐interaction genome‐wide association studies in 24,216 non‐Hispanic White and 3367 non‐Hispanic Black participants. RESULTS We identified three sex‐specific loci (rs67099044-CBLN2, rs719070-SCHIP1/IQCJ‐SCHIP), including an X‐chromosome locus (rs5935633-EGL6/TCEANC/OFD1), that
