  • Genome-wide association study of serum liver enzymes implicates diverse metabolic and liver pathology - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33547301

    ABSTRACT: Serum liver enzyme concentrations are the most frequently-used laboratory markers of liver disease, a major cause of mortality. We conduct a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of liver enzymes from UK BioBank and BioBank Japan. We identified 160 previously-unreported independent alanine aminotransferase, 190 aspartate aminotransferase, and 199 alkaline phosphatase genome-wide significant associations, with some affecting multiple different enzymes. Associated variants implicate genes that demonstrate diverse liver cell type expression and promote a range of metabolic and liver diseases. These findings provide insight into the pathophysiology of liver and other metabolic diseases that are associated with serum liver enzyme concentrations. Serum liver enzymes are used

  • Genome-wide Association Studies of over 30,000 Samples with Bone Mineral Density at Multiple Skeletal Sites and Its Clinical Relevance - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41206123

    ABSTRACT: Abstract The ultimate goal of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) is to translate its discoveries into clinical practice. To explore the clinical use of GWAS findings in the bone field, we conducted a GWAS of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived bone mineral density (BMD) traits at 11 skeletal sites, within over 30,000 European individuals from the UK Biobank. A total of 91 unique and independent loci were identified for 11 DXA-derived BMD traits and fractures, including 5 novel loci (harboring the genes ABCA1, CHSY1, CYP24A1, SWAP70, and PAX1) for 6 BMD traits. These loci exhibited evidence of association in both males and females, which could serve as independent replication. We demonstrated that each polygenic risk score (PRS) was independently associated with fra

  • New genetic loci link adipose and insulin biology to body fat distribution - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 25673412

    ABSTRACT: Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to cardiometabolic traits, we conducted genome-wide association meta-analyses of waist and hip circumference-related traits in up to 224,459 individuals. We identified 49 loci (33 new) associated with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index (WHRadjBMI) and an additional 19 loci newly associated with related waist and hip circumference measures (P<5×10−8). Twenty of the 49 WHRadjBMI loci showed significant sexual dimorphism, 19 of which displayed a stronger effect in women. The identified loci were enriched for genes expressed in adi
