  • A Genomics England haplotype reference panel and imputation of UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39134668

    ABSTRACT: We built a reference panel with 342 million autosomal variants using 78,195 individuals from the Genomics England (GEL) dataset, achieving a phasing switch error rate of 0.18% for European samples and imputation quality of r2 = 0.75 for variants with minor allele frequencies as low as 2 × 10−4 in white British samples. The GEL-imputed UK Biobank genome-wide association analysis identified 70% of associations found by direct exome sequencing (P < 2.18 × 10−11), while extending testing of rare variants to the entire genome. Coding variants dominated the rare-variant genome-wide association results, implying less disruptive effects of rare non-coding variants. A Genomics England haplotype reference panel constructed using sequence data from 78,195 individuals

  • Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for body fat distribution in 694 649 individuals of European ancestry - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30239722

    ABSTRACT: Abstract More than one in three adults worldwide is either overweight or obese. Epidemiological studies indicate that the location and distribution of excess fat, rather than general adiposity, are more informative for predicting risk of obesity sequelae, including cardiometabolic disease and cancer. We performed a genome-wide association study meta-analysis of body fat distribution, measured by waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) adjusted for body mass index (WHRadjBMI), and identified 463 signals in 346 loci. Heritability and variant effects were generally stronger in women than men, and we found approximately one-third of all signals to be sexually dimorphic. The 5% of individuals carrying the most WHRadjBMI-increasing alleles were 1.62 times more likely than the bottom 5% to have a WHR

  • Multi-trait association analysis reveals shared genetic loci between Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39537608

    ABSTRACT: Several cardiovascular traits and diseases co-occur with Alzheimer's disease. We mapped their shared genetic architecture using multi-trait genome-wide association studies. Subsequent fine-mapping and colocalisation highlighted 16 genetic loci associated with both Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases. We prioritised rs11786896, which colocalised with Alzheimer's disease, atrial fibrillation and expression of PLEC in the heart left ventricle, and rs7529220, which colocalised with Alzheimer's disease, atrial fibrillation and expression of C1Q family genes. Single-cell RNA-sequencing data, co-expression network and protein-protein interaction analyses provided evidence for different mechanisms of PLEC, which is upregulated in left ventricular endothelium and cardiomyocyte
