  • Genome-Wide Association Study of Breast Density among Women of African Ancestry - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37345113

    ABSTRACT: Simple Summary In the US, Black women are disproportionately affected by higher breast cancer mortality rates and later-stage tumor diagnoses compared with White women. Breast density, the ratio of dense fibroglandular breast tissue to overall breast tissue area, has previously been identified as an important breast cancer risk factor. Most current genome-wide association studies for breast density have been performed in participants of European ancestry, which have yielded important insights into genetic etiology of breast density. However, little is known about the influence of common genetic variants on breast density in African ancestry populations. Our study aimed to determine genetic factors associated with breast density in African ancestry populations using a Genome-Wide

  • Genome-wide Association Studies of over 30,000 Samples with Bone Mineral Density at Multiple Skeletal Sites and Its Clinical Relevance - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41206123

    ABSTRACT: Abstract The ultimate goal of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) is to translate its discoveries into clinical practice. To explore the clinical use of GWAS findings in the bone field, we conducted a GWAS of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-derived bone mineral density (BMD) traits at 11 skeletal sites, within over 30,000 European individuals from the UK Biobank. A total of 91 unique and independent loci were identified for 11 DXA-derived BMD traits and fractures, including 5 novel loci (harboring the genes ABCA1, CHSY1, CYP24A1, SWAP70, and PAX1) for 6 BMD traits. These loci exhibited evidence of association in both males and females, which could serve as independent replication. We demonstrated that each polygenic risk score (PRS) was independently associated with fra

  • A genetic map of human metabolism across the allele frequency spectrum - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41044249

    ABSTRACT: Genetic studies of human metabolism have been limited in scale and allelic breadth. Here we provide a data-driven map of the genetic regulation of circulating small molecules and lipoprotein characteristics (249 traits) measured using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy across the allele frequency spectrum in ~450,000 individuals. Trans-ancestral meta-analyses identify 29,824 locus-metabolite associations mapping to 753 regions with effects largely consistent between men and women and large ancestral groups represented in UK Biobank. We observe and classify extreme genetic pleiotropy, identify regulators of lipid metabolism, and assign effector genes at >100 loci through rare-to-common allelic series. We propose roles for genes less established in metabolic control (
