• Large-scale multitrait genome-wide association analyses identify hundreds of glaucoma risk loci - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37386247

  ABSTRACT: Glaucoma, a leading cause of irreversible blindness, is a highly heritable human disease. Previous genome-wide association studies have identified over 100 loci for the most common form, primary open-angle glaucoma. Two key glaucoma-associated traits also show high heritability: intraocular pressure and optic nerve head excavation damage quantified as the vertical cup-to-disc ratio. Here, since much of glaucoma heritability remains unexplained, we conducted a large-scale multitrait genome-wide association study in participants of European ancestry combining primary open-angle glaucoma and its two associated traits (total sample size over 600,000) to substantially improve genetic discovery power (263 loci). We further increased our power by then employing a multiancestry approach,

• 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
