  • The genetics of a "femaleness/maleness" score in cardiometabolic traits in the UK biobank - Scientific reports (2023) · Vosberg DE, Pausova Z, Paus T · PubMed 37277458

    ABSTRACT: We recently devised continuous "sex-scores" that sum up multiple quantitative traits, weighted by their respective sex-difference effect sizes, as an approach to estimating polyphenotypic "maleness/femaleness" within each binary sex. To identify the genetic architecture underlying these sex-scores, we conducted sex-specific genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in the UK Biobank cohort (females: n = 161,906; males: n = 141,980). As a control, we also conducted GWASs of sex-specific "sum-scores", simply aggregating the same traits, without weighting by sex differences. Among GWAS-identified genes, while sum-score genes were enriched for genes differentially expressed in the liver in both sexes, sex-score genes were enriched for genes differentially expressed

  • Body surface area is a potential obesity index: Its genetic determination and its causality for later-life diseases. - Obesity (Silver Spring, Md.) (2022) · Yu XH, Cao RR, Yang YQ, Deng FY, Bo L, Lei SF · PubMed 36502284

    This study aimed to identify novel genetic factors that contribute to body surface area (BSA) and explore its relationship with complex traits and diseases. Based on more than 330,000 European individuals in the UK Biobank, the first large-scale genome-wide association study for BSA was performed. Comprehensive genetic analysis and enrichment analysis were then performed to explore the biological function of the identified loci. The genetic correlations and causal associations between BSA and other anthropometry parameters, early growth indices, and later-life diseases, respectively, were assessed by complex genetic approaches. Genome-wide association study analysis identified a total of 456 conditionally independent single-nucleotide polymorphism mapping genes with known functions in the
