  • Genome-wide analyses identify 25 infertility loci and relationships with reproductive traits across the allele frequency spectrum - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40229599

    ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) may help inform the etiology of infertility. Here, we perform GWAS meta-analyses across seven cohorts in up to 42,629 cases and 740,619 controls and identify 25 genetic risk loci for male and female infertility. We additionally identify up to 269 genetic loci associated with follicle-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, estradiol and testosterone through sex-specific GWAS meta-analyses (n = 6,095-246,862). Exome sequencing analyses reveal that women carrying testosterone-lowering rare variants in some genes are at risk of infertility. However, we find no local or genome-wide genetic correlation between female infertility and reproductive hormones. While infertility is genetically correlated with endometriosis and polycystic ovary

  • Using human genetics to understand the disease impacts of testosterone in men and women - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32042192

    ABSTRACT: Testosterone supplementation is commonly used for its effects on sexual function, bone health and body composition, yet its effects on disease outcomes are unknown. To better understand this, we identified genetic determinants of testosterone levels and related sex hormone traits in 425,097 UK Biobank study participants. Using 2,571 genome-wide significant associations, we demonstrate the genetic determinants of testosterone levels are substantially different between sexes, and that genetically higher testosterone is harmful for metabolic diseases in women but beneficial in men. For example, a genetically determined 1-standard deviation higher testosterone increases the risks of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) (OR=1.37 [1.22-1.53]) and polycystic ovary syndrome (OR=1.51 [1.33-1.72]) in
