  • Identification of susceptibility loci and relevant cell type for IgA nephropathy in Han Chinese by integrative genome-wide analysis. - Frontiers of medicine (2024) · Li M, Hao X, Shi D, Cheng S, Zhong Z, Cai L, Jiang M, Ding L, Ding L, Wang C, Yu X · PubMed 39343836

    Although many susceptibility loci for IgA nephropathy (IgAN) have been identified, they only account for 11.0% of the overall IgAN variance. We performed a large genome-wide meta-analysis of IgAN in Han Chinese with 3616 cases and 10 417 controls to identify additional genetic loci of IgAN. Considering that inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and asthma might share an etiology of dysregulated mucosal immunity with IgAN, we performed cross-trait integrative analysis by leveraging functional annotations of relevant cell type and the pleiotropic information from IBD and asthma. Among 8 669 456 imputed variants, we identified a novel locus at 4p14 containing the long noncoding RNA LOC101060498. Cell type enrichment analysis based on annotations suggested that PMA-I-stimulated CD4 CD25 IL17 Th17 c

  • Genetic Association Study of Eight Steroid Hormones and Implications for Sexual Dimorphism of Coronary Artery Disease. - The Journal of clinical endocrinology and metabolism (2020) · Pott J, Bae YJ, Horn K, Teren A, Kühnapfel A, Kirsten H, Ceglarek U, Loeffler M, Thiery J, Kratzsch J, Scholz M · PubMed 31169883

    Steroid hormones are important regulators of physiological processes in humans and are under genetic control. A link to coronary artery disease (CAD) is supposed. Our main objective was to identify genetic loci influencing steroid hormone levels. As a secondary aim, we searched for causal effects of steroid hormones on CAD. We conducted genome-wide meta-association studies for eight steroid hormones: cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEAS), estradiol, and testosterone in two independent cohorts (LIFE-Adult, LIFE-Heart, maximum n = 7667), and progesterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, androstenedione, and aldosterone in LIFE-Heart only (maximum n = 2070). All genome-wide significant loci were tested for sex interactions. Furthermore, we tested whether previously reported CAD single-nucl

  • A scalable variational inference approach for increased mixed-model association power - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39789286

    ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of modern biobanks is creating new opportunities for large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and the analysis of complex traits. However, performing GWASs on millions of samples often leads to trade-offs between computational efficiency and statistical power, reducing the benefits of large-scale data collection efforts. We developed Quickdraws, a method that increases association power in quantitative and binary traits without sacrificing computational efficiency, leveraging a spike-and-slab prior on variant effects, stochastic variational inference and graphics processing unit acceleration. We applied Quickdraws to 79 quantitative and 50 binary traits in 405,088 UK Biobank samples, identifying 4.97% and 3.25% more associations than REGENIE and 22.71%

  • Comprehensive genomic analysis of dietary habits in UK Biobank identifies hundreds of genetic associations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32193382

    ABSTRACT: Unhealthful dietary habits are leading risk factors for life-altering diseases and mortality. Large-scale biobanks now enable genetic analysis of traits with modest heritability, such as diet. We perform a genomewide association on 85 single food intake and 85 principal component-derived dietary patterns from food frequency questionnaires in UK Biobank. We identify 814 associated loci, including olfactory receptor associations with fruit and tea intake; 136 associations are only identified using dietary patterns. Mendelian randomization suggests our top healthful dietary pattern driven by wholemeal vs. white bread consumption is causally influenced by factors correlated with education but is not strongly causal for coronary artery disease or type 2 diabetes. Overall, we demonstra

  • Evaluating the relationship between circulating lipoprotein lipids and apolipoproteins with risk of coronary heart disease: A multivariable Mendelian randomisation analysis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32203549

    ABSTRACT: Background Circulating lipoprotein lipids cause coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the precise way in which one or more lipoprotein lipid-related entities account for this relationship remains unclear. Using genetic instruments for lipoprotein lipid traits implemented through multivariable Mendelian randomisation (MR), we sought to compare their causal roles in the aetiology of CHD. Methods and findings We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of circulating non-fasted lipoprotein lipid traits in the UK Biobank (UKBB) for low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and apolipoprotein B to identify lipid-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Using data from CARDIoGRAMplusC4D for CHD (consisting of 60,801 cases and 123,504 controls), we per

  • 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
