  • A scalable variational inference approach for increased mixed-model association power - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39789286

    ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of modern biobanks is creating new opportunities for large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and the analysis of complex traits. However, performing GWASs on millions of samples often leads to trade-offs between computational efficiency and statistical power, reducing the benefits of large-scale data collection efforts. We developed Quickdraws, a method that increases association power in quantitative and binary traits without sacrificing computational efficiency, leveraging a spike-and-slab prior on variant effects, stochastic variational inference and graphics processing unit acceleration. We applied Quickdraws to 79 quantitative and 50 binary traits in 405,088 UK Biobank samples, identifying 4.97% and 3.25% more associations than REGENIE and 22.71%

  • Large-scale genome-wide association study of coronary artery disease in genetically diverse populations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35915156

    ABSTRACT: We report a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of coronary artery disease (CAD) incorporating nearly a quarter million cases, in which existing studies are integrated with data from cohorts of White, Black, and Hispanic individuals from the Million Veteran Program. We document near equivalent heritability of CAD across multiple ancestral groups, identify 95 novel loci, including the first nine to be identified on the X-chromosome, detect the first eight genome-wide significant loci among Blacks and Hispanics, and demonstrate that two common haplotypes at the 9p21 locus are responsible for risk stratification in all populations except those of African origin, where these haplotypes are virtually absent. Moreover, in the largest GWAS for angiographically derived coronary atherosc
