  • Investigating the shared genetic architecture between adiposity measures and obesity-related cancers - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40874817

    ABSTRACT: Abstract Fat distribution patterns are increasingly linked to obesity-related cancers; however, their shared genetic determinants remain unclear. To identify shared genetic architecture between adiposity measures and obesity-related cancers. Utilizing large-scale summary statistics from genome-wide association study, we conducted genome-wide cross trait analyses of nine adiposity measures [body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip (WTH) ratio, waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI, arm fat ratio, trunk fat ratio, leg fat ratio, abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, gluteofemoral adipose tissue, and visceral adipose tissue] in five obesity-related cancers (colorectal cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer) to characterize their shared gen

  • Discovery of genomic loci of the human cerebral cortex using genetically informed brain atlases* - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35113692

    ABSTRACT: To determine the impact of genetic variants on the brain, we used genetically-informed brain atlases in genome-wide association studies of regional cortical surface area and thickness in 39,898 adults and 9136 children. We uncovered 440 genome-wide significant loci in the discovery cohort and 800 from a post-hoc combined meta-analysis. Loci in adulthood were largely captured in childhood, showing signatures of negative selection, and were linked to early neurodevelopment and pathways associated with neuropsychiatric risk. Opposing gradations of decreased surface area and increased thickness were associated with common inversion polymorphisms. Inferior frontal regions, encompassing Broca's area which is important for speech, were enriched for human-specific genomic elements. Thu

  • Genome-wide association study of hippocampal blood-oxygen-level-dependent-cerebral blood flow correlation in Chinese Han population - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37822511

    ABSTRACT: Summary Correlation between blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) has been used as an index of neurovascular coupling. Hippocampal BOLD-CBF correlation is associated with neurocognition, and the reduced correlation is associated with neuropsychiatric disorders. We conducted the first genome-wide association study of the hippocampal BOLD-CBF correlation in 4,832 Chinese Han subjects. The hippocampal BOLD-CBF correlation had an estimated heritability of 16.2-23.9% and showed reliable genome-wide significant association with a locus at 3q28, in which many variants have been linked to neuroimaging and cerebrospinal fluid markers of Alzheimer's disease. Gene-based association analyses showed four significant genes (GMNC, CRTC2, DENND4B, and GATAD2B) and
