  • The impact of low-frequency and rare variants on lipid levels - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 25961943

    ABSTRACT: Using a genome-wide screen of 9.6 million genetic variants achieved through 1000 Genomes imputation in 62,166 samples, we identify association to lipids in 93 loci including 79 previously identified loci with new lead-SNPs, 10 new loci, 15 loci with a low-frequency and 10 loci with missense lead-SNPs, and, 2 loci with an accumulation of rare variants. In six loci, SNPs with established function in lipid genetics (CELSR2, GCKR, LIPC, and APOE), or candidate missense mutations with predicted damaging function (CD300LG and TM6SF2), explained the locus associations. The low-frequency variants increased the proportion of variance explained, particularly for LDL-C and TC. Altogether, our results highlight the impact of low-frequency variants in complex traits and show that imputation o

  • Genome-wide analysis of blood lipid metabolites in over 5000 South Asians reveals biological insights at cardiometabolic disease loci - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34503513

    ABSTRACT: Background Genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors can lead to perturbations in circulating lipid levels and increase the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, how changes in individual lipid species contribute to disease risk is often unclear. Moreover, little is known about the role of lipids on cardiovascular disease in Pakistan, a population historically underrepresented in cardiovascular studies. Methods We characterised the genetic architecture of the human blood lipidome in 5662 hospital controls from the Pakistan Risk of Myocardial Infarction Study (PROMIS) and 13,814 healthy British blood donors from the INTERVAL study. We applied a candidate causal gene prioritisation tool to link the genetic variants associated with each lipid to the most likely

  • Cross-platform genetic discovery of small molecule products of metabolism and application to clinical outcomes - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33414548

    ABSTRACT: Circulating levels of small molecules or metabolites are highly heritable, but the impact of genetic differences in metabolism on human health is not well understood. In this cross-platform, genome-wide meta-analysis of 174 metabolite levels across six cohorts including up to 86,507 participants (70% unpublished data), we identify 499 (362 novel) genome-wide significant associations (p<4.9×10-10) at 144 (94 novel) genomic regions. We show that inheritance of blood metabolite levels in the general population is characterized by pleiotropy, allelic heterogeneity, rare and common variants with large effects, non-linear associations, and enrichment for nonsynonymous variation in transporter and enzyme encoding genes. The majority of identified genes are known to be involved in bioch

  • Genetic architecture of cardiometabolic risks in people living with HIV - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33109212

    ABSTRACT: Background Advances in antiretroviral therapies have greatly improved the survival of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (PLWH); yet, PLWH have a higher risk of cardiovascular disease than those without HIV. While numerous genetic loci have been linked to cardiometabolic risk in the general population, genetic predictors of the excessive risk in PLWH are largely unknown. Methods We screened for common and HIV-specific genetic variants associated with variation in lipid levels in 6284 PLWH (3095 European Americans [EA] and 3189 African Americans [AA]), from the Centers for AIDS Research Network of Integrated Clinical Systems cohort. Genetic hits found exclusively in the PLWH cohort were tested for association with other traits. We then assessed the pre

  • Genetic analyses of diverse populations improves discovery for complex traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31217584

    ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have laid the foundation for investigations into the biology of complex traits, drug development and clinical guidelines. However, the majority of discovery efforts are based on data from populations of European ancestry. In light of the differential genetic architecture that is known to exist between populations, bias in representation can exacerbate existing disease and healthcare disparities. Critical variants may be missed if they have a low frequency or are completely absent in European populations, especially as the field shifts its attention towards rare variants, which are more likely to be population-specific. Additionally, effect sizes and their derived risk prediction scores derived in one population may not accurately extrapolate

  • A Genome Wide Association Study Identifies Common Variants Associated with Lipid Levels in the Chinese Population - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 24386095

    ABSTRACT: Plasma lipid levels are important risk factors for cardiovascular disease and are influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Recent genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified several lipid-associated loci, but these loci have been identified primarily in European populations. In order to identify genetic markers for lipid levels in a Chinese population and analyze the heterogeneity between Europeans and Asians, especially Chinese, we performed a meta-analysis of two genome wide association studies on four common lipid traits including total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL) in a Han Chinese population totaling 3,451 healthy subjects. Replication was performed in an addit

  • A large electronic health record-based genome-wide study of serum lipids - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29507422

    ABSTRACT: A genome-wide association study of 94,674 multi-ethnic Kaiser Permanente members utilizing 478,866 longitudinal untreated serum lipid electronic-health-record-derived measurements (EHRs) empowered multiple novel findings: 121 new SNP associations (46 primary, 15 conditional, 60 in meta-analysis with Global Lipids Genetic Consortium); increase of 33-42% in variance explained with multiple measurements; sex differences in genetic impact (greater in females for LDL, HDL, TC, the opposite for TG); differences in variance explained amongst non-Hispanic whites, Latinos, African Americans, and East Asians; genetic dominance and epistasis, with strong evidence for both at ABOxFUT2 for LDL; and eQTL tissue-enrichment implicating the liver, adipose, and pancreas.
