  • Genetic Determinants of Clustering of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in U.K. Biobank. - Metabolic syndrome and related disorders (2021) · Lind L · PubMed 31928498

    The metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a description of a clustering of cardiometabolic risk factors in the same individual. This study searched for genetic loci associated with all five prespecified components of MetS to find a common pathophysiological link for this risk factor clustering. Using data from 291,107 individuals in the U.K. biobank, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed versus each of the five components of the syndrome as continuous variables (glucose, systolic blood pressure, triglycerides, waist circumference, and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol). Using false discovery rate <0.05, three loci were related to all five MetS components (rs7575523; nearest gene , rs3936511; intron of , and rs111970447; intron of ). Of those, seems the most interesting candidate f

  • Genome-wide association study of self-reported walking pace suggests beneficial effects of brisk walking on health and survival - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33128006

    ABSTRACT: Walking is a simple form of exercise, widely promoted for its health benefits. Self-reported walking pace has been associated with a range of cardiorespiratory and cancer outcomes, and is a strong predictor of mortality. Here we perform a genome-wide association study of self-reported walking pace in 450,967 European ancestry UK Biobank participants. We identify 70 independent associated loci (P < 5 × 10−8), 11 of which are novel. We estimate the SNP-based heritability as 13.2% (s.e. = 0.21%), reducing to 8.9% (s.e. = 0.17%) with adjustment for body mass index. Significant genetic correlations are observed with cardiometabolic, respiratory and psychiatric traits, educational attainment and all-cause mortality. Mendelian randomization analyses suggest a potentia
