• Genome-wide Association Studies Categorized by Class of Antihypertensive Drugs Reveal Complex Pathogenesis of Hypertension with Drug Resistance. - Clinical pharmacology and therapeutics (2023) · Yamazaki K, Terao C, Takahashi A, Kamatani Y, Matsuda K, Asai S, Takahashi Y · PubMed 37151119

  Resistant hypertension is defined as uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) despite the use of three or more antihypertensive drugs of different classes. Although genetic factors may greatly contribute to hypertension with resistance to multiple drug classes, more than for general hypertension, its pathogenesis remains unknown. To reveal the genetic background of resistant hypertension, we categorized 32,239 patients whose data were obtained from the BioBank Japan Project, by prescription of 7 classes of antihypertensive drugs and performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Our GWAS identified four loci with significant association (P < 5 × 10 ): rs6445583 in CACNA1D and rs12308051 in the intergenic region on chromosome 12 for angiotensin II receptor blockers, rs35497065 in FOXA3

• Genome-wide meta-analysis of insomnia prioritizes genes associated with metabolic and psychiatric pathways. - Nature genetics (2022) · Watanabe K, Jansen PR, Savage JE, Nandakumar P, Wang X, Hinds DA, Gelernter J, Levey DF, Polimanti R, Stein MB, Van Someren EJW, Smit AB, Posthuma D · PubMed 35835914

  Insomnia is a heritable, highly prevalent sleep disorder for which no sufficient treatment currently exists. Previous genome-wide association studies with up to 1.3 million subjects identified over 200 associated loci. This extreme polygenicity suggested that many more loci remain to be discovered. The current study almost doubled the sample size to 593,724 cases and 1,771,286 controls, thereby increasing statistical power, and identified 554 risk loci (including 364 novel loci). To capitalize on this large number of loci, we propose a novel strategy to prioritize genes using external biological resources and functional interactions between genes across risk loci. Of all 3,898 genes naively implicated from the risk loci, we prioritize 289 and find brain-tissue expression spec

• Symptom-level modelling unravels the shared genetic architecture of anxiety and depression. - Nature human behaviour (2021) · Thorp JG, Campos AI, Grotzinger AD, Gerring ZF, An J, Ong JS, Wang W, Shringarpure S, Byrne EM, MacGregor S, Martin NG, Medland SE, Middeldorp CM, Derks EM · PubMed 33859377

  Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent and comorbid psychiatric traits that cause considerable burden worldwide. Here we use factor analysis and genomic structural equation modelling to investigate the genetic factor structure underlying 28 items assessing depression, anxiety and neuroticism, a closely related personality trait. Symptoms of depression and anxiety loaded on two distinct, although highly genetically correlated factors, and neuroticism items were partitioned between them. We used this factor structure to conduct genome-wide association analyses on latent factors of depressive symptoms (89 independent variants, 61 genomic loci) and anxiety symptoms (102 variants, 73 loci) in the UK Biobank. Of these associated variants, 72% and 78%, respectively, replicated in an independ

• Genome-wide association studies in a large Korean cohort identify quantitative trait loci for 36 traits and illuminate their genetic architectures - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40436827

  ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have predominantly focused on European ancestry populations, limiting biological discoveries across diverse populations. Here we report GWAS findings from 153,950 individuals across 36 quantitative traits in the Korean Cancer Prevention Study-II (KCPS2) Biobank. We discovered 301 previously unreported genetic loci in KCPS2, including an association between thyroid-stimulating hormone and CD36. Meta-analysis with the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, Biobank Japan, Taiwan Biobank, and UK Biobank identified 4588 loci that were not significant in any contributing GWAS. We describe differences in genetic architectures across these East Asian and European samples. We also highlight East Asian specific associations, including a known pleiotrop
