• Leveraging Polygenic Functional Enrichment to Improve GWAS Power. - American journal of human genetics (2019) · Kichaev G, Bhatia G, Loh PR, Gazal S, Burch K, Freund MK, Schoech A, Pasaniuc B, Price AL · PubMed 30595370

  Functional genomics data has the potential to increase GWAS power by identifying SNPs that have a higher prior probability of association. Here, we introduce a method that leverages polygenic functional enrichment to incorporate coding, conserved, regulatory, and LD-related genomic annotations into association analyses. We show via simulations with real genotypes that the method, functionally informed novel discovery of risk loci (FINDOR), correctly controls the false-positive rate at null loci and attains a 9%-38% increase in the number of independent associations detected at causal loci, depending on trait polygenicity and sample size. We applied FINDOR to 27 independent complex traits and diseases from the interim UK Biobank release (average N = 130K). Averaged across traits, we attaine

• Diversity and scale: Genetic architecture of 2068 traits in the VA Million Veteran Program - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39024449

  ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

• Trans-ethnic and ancestry-specific blood-cell genetics in 746,667 individuals from 5 global populations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32888493

  ABSTRACT: SUMMARY Most loci identified by GWAS have been found in populations of European ancestry (EUR). In trans-ethnic meta-analyses for 15 hematological traits in 746,667 participants, including 184,535 non-EUR individuals, we identified 5,552 trait-variant associations at P<5×10−9, including 71 novel loci not found in EUR populations. We also identified 28 additional novel variants in ancestry-specific, non-EUR meta-analyses, including an IL7 missense variant in South Asians associated with lymphocyte count in vivo and IL7 secretion levels in vitro. Fine-mapping prioritized variants annotated as functional, and generated 95% credible sets that were 30% smaller when using the trans-ethnic as opposed to the EUR-only results. We explored the clinical significance and predictive value

• The Allelic Landscape of Human Blood Cell Trait Variation and Links to Common Complex Disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 27863252

  ABSTRACT: Summary Many common variants have been associated with hematological traits, but identification of causal genes and pathways has proven challenging. We performed a genome-wide association analysis in the UK Biobank and INTERVAL studies, testing 29.5 million genetic variants for association with 36 red cell, white cell, and platelet properties in 173,480 European-ancestry participants. This effort yielded hundreds of low frequency (<5%) and rare (<1%) variants with a strong impact on blood cell phenotypes. Our data highlight general properties of the allelic architecture of complex traits, including the proportion of the heritable component of each blood trait explained by the polygenic signal across different genome regulatory domains. Finally, through Mendelian randomization, we

• Urate, Blood Pressure, and Cardiovascular Disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33356394

  ABSTRACT: Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Serum urate has been implicated in hypertension and cardiovascular disease, but it is not known whether it is exerting a causal effect. To investigate this, we performed Mendelian randomization analysis using data from UK Biobank, Million Veterans Program and genome-wide association study consortia, and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials. The main Mendelian randomization analyses showed that every 1-SD increase in genetically predicted serum urate was associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease (odds ratio, 1.19 [95% CI, 1.10-1.30]; P=4×10−5), peripheral artery disease (1.12 [95% CI, 1.03-1.21]; P=9×10−3), and stroke (1.11 [95% CI, 1.05-1.18]; P=2×10−4). In Mendelian randomization med

• Identification of Functional Genetic Determinants of Cardiac Troponin T and I in a Multi-Ethnic Population and Causal Associations with Atrial Fibrillation - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34732054

  ABSTRACT: Background Elevated cardiac troponin levels in blood are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) and mortality. Cardiac troponin levels are heritable, but their genetic architecture remains elusive. Methods We conducted a trans-ethnic genome-wide association analysis on high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T and I levels (hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI) in 24,617 and 14,336 participants free of coronary heart disease and heart failure from six population-based cohorts, followed by a series of bioinformatic analyses to decipher the genetic architecture of hs-cTnT and hs-cTnI. Results We identified four genome-wide significant loci for hs-cTnT including a novel locus, rs3737882 in PPFIA4, and three previously reported loci at NCOA2, TRAM1 and BCL2. One known locus at VCL

• The Polygenic and Monogenic Basis of Blood Traits and Diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32888494

  ABSTRACT: Summary Blood cells play essential roles in human health, underpinning physiological processes such as immunity, oxygen transport, and clotting, which when perturbed cause a significant global health burden. Here we integrate data from UK Biobank and a large-scale international collaborative effort, including data for 563,085 European ancestry participants, and discover 5,106 new genetic variants independently associated with 29 blood cell phenotypes covering a range of variation impacting hematopoiesis. We holistically characterize the genetic architecture of hematopoiesis, assess the relevance of the omnigenic model to blood cell phenotypes, delineate relevant hematopoietic cell states influenced by regulatory genetic variants and gene networks, identify novel splice-altering v
