  • Gene-level analysis reveals the genetic aetiology and therapeutic targets of schizophrenia. - Nature human behaviour (2025) · Dang X, Teng Z, Yang Y, Li W, Liu J, Hui L, Zhou D, Gong D, Dai SS, Li Y, Li X, Lv L, Zeng Y, Yuan Y, Ma X, Liu Z, Li T, Luo XJ · PubMed 39753749

    Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have reported multiple risk loci for schizophrenia (SCZ). However, the majority of the associations were from populations of European ancestry. Here we conducted a large-scale GWAS in Eastern Asian populations (29,519 cases and 44,392 controls) and identified ten Eastern Asian-specific risk loci, two of which have not been previously reported. A further cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis (96,806 cases and 492,818 controls) including populations from diverse ancestries identified 61 previously unreported risk loci. Systematic variant-level analysis, including fine mapping, functional genomics and expression quantitative trait loci, prioritized potential causal variants. Gene-level analyses, including transcriptome-wide association study, proteome-wide

  • Genetic diversity fuels gene discovery for tobacco and alcohol use - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36477530

    ABSTRACT: Tobacco and alcohol use are heritable behaviours associated with 15% and 5.3% of worldwide deaths, respectively, due largely to broad increased risk for disease and injury. These substances are used across the globe, yet genome-wide association studies have focused largely on individuals of European ancestries. Here we leveraged global genetic diversity across 3.4 million individuals from four major clines of global ancestry (approximately 21% non-European) to power the discovery and fine-mapping of genomic loci associated with tobacco and alcohol use, to inform function of these loci via ancestry-aware transcriptome-wide association studies, and to evaluate the genetic architecture and predictive power of polygenic risk within and across populations. We found that increases in s
