  • Genome-wide association study identifies genetic loci for self-reported habitual sleep duration supported by accelerometer-derived estimates - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30846698

    ABSTRACT: Sleep is an essential state of decreased activity and alertness but molecular factors regulating sleep duration remain unknown. Through genome-wide association analysis in 446,118 adults of European ancestry from the UK Biobank, we identify 78 loci for self-reported habitual sleep duration (p < 5 × 10−8; 43 loci at p < 6 × 10−9). Replication is observed for PAX8, VRK2, and FBXL12/UBL5/PIN1 loci in the CHARGE study (n = 47,180; p < 6.3 × 10−4), and 55 signals show sign-concordant effects. The 78 loci further associate with accelerometer-derived sleep duration, daytime inactivity, sleep efficiency and number of sleep bouts in secondary analysis (n = 85,499). Loci are enriched for pathways including striatum and subpallium development, mechan

  • Insights into the genetic architecture of the human face - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33288918

    ABSTRACT: The human face is complex and multipartite, and characterization of its genetic architecture remains challenging. Using a multivariate genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of 8,246 European individuals, we identified 203 genome-wide significant signals (120 also study-wide significant) associated with normal-range facial variation. Follow-up analyses find that the regions surrounding these signals are enriched for enhancer activity in cranial neural crest cells and craniofacial tissues, several regions harbor multiple signals with associations to different facial phenotypes, and there is evidence for potential coordinated actions of variants. In sum, our analyses provide insights for understanding how complex morphological traits are shaped by both individual and co
