  • Understanding the genetic determinants of the brain with MOSTest - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32665545

    ABSTRACT: Regional brain morphology has a complex genetic architecture, consisting of many common polymorphisms with small individual effects. This has proven challenging for genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Due to the distributed nature of genetic signal across brain regions, multivariate analysis of regional measures may enhance discovery of genetic variants. Current multivariate approaches to GWAS are ill-suited for complex, large-scale data of this kind. Here, we introduce the Multivariate Omnibus Statistical Test (MOSTest), with an efficient computational design enabling rapid and reliable inference, and apply it to 171 regional brain morphology measures from 26,502 UK Biobank participants. At the conventional genome-wide significance threshold of α = 5 × 10−8, MOS

  • Maternal and fetal genetic effects on birth weight and their relevance to cardio-metabolic risk factors - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31043758

    ABSTRACT: Birth weight variation is influenced by fetal and maternal genetic and non-genetic factors, and has been reproducibly associated with future cardio-metabolic health outcomes. In expanded genome-wide association analyses of own birth weight (n=321,223) and offspring birth weight (n=230,069 mothers), we identified 190 independent association signals (129 novel). We used structural equation modelling to decompose the contributions of direct fetal and indirect maternal genetic effects, and then applied Mendelian randomization to illuminate causal pathways. For example, both indirect maternal and direct fetal genetic effects drive the observational relationship between lower birth weight and higher later blood pressure: maternal blood pressure-raising alleles reduce offspring birth we
