  • Beyond factor H: The impact of genetic-risk variants for age-related macular degeneration on circulating factor-H-like 1 and factor-H-related protein concentrations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34260948

    ABSTRACT: Summary Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss; there is strong genetic susceptibility at the complement factor H (CFH) locus. This locus encodes a series of complement regulators: factor H (FH), a splice variant factor-H-like 1 (FHL-1), and five factor-H-related proteins (FHR-1 to FHR-5), all involved in the regulation of complement factor C3b turnover. Little is known about how AMD-associated variants at this locus might influence FHL-1 and FHR protein concentrations. We have used a bespoke targeted mass-spectrometry assay to measure the circulating concentrations of all seven complement regulators and demonstrated elevated concentrations in 352 advanced AMD-affected individuals for all FHR proteins (FHR-1, p = 2.4 × 10−10; FHR-2, p = 6.0 

  • Plasma proteome variation and its genetic determinants in children and adolescents - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39972214

    ABSTRACT: Our current understanding of the determinants of plasma proteome variation during pediatric development remains incomplete. Here, we show that genetic variants, age, sex and body mass index significantly influence this variation. Using a streamlined and highly quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics workflow, we analyzed plasma from 2,147 children and adolescents, identifying 1,216 proteins after quality control. Notably, the levels of 70% of these were associated with at least one of the aforementioned factors, with protein levels also being predictive. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) regulated at least one-third of the proteins; between a few percent and up to 30-fold. Together with excellent replication in an additional 1,000 children and 558 adults, this reveals substa
