  • Combining cross-sectional and longitudinal genomic approaches to identify determinants of cognitive and physical decline - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40374629

    ABSTRACT: Large-scale genomic studies focusing on the genetic contribution to human aging have mostly relied on cross-sectional data. With the release of longitudinally curated aging phenotypes by the UK Biobank (UKBB), it is now possible to study aging over time at genome-wide scale. In this work, we evaluated the suitability of competing models of change in realistic simulation settings, performed genome-wide association scans on simulation-validated measures of age-related deweekcline, and followed up with LD-score regression and Mendelian Randomization (MR) analyses. Focusing on global cognitive and physical function, we observed marked differences between baseline function (θ) and accelerated decline (Δ). Both outcomes showed distinct heritability levels (e.g., 31.38% versus 3.15%

  • Multitrait analyses identify genetic variants associated with aortic valve function and aortic stenosis risk - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41419685

    ABSTRACT: The genetic influences on normal aortic valve function and their impact on aortic stenosis risk are of substantial interest. We used deep learning to measure peak velocity, mean gradient and aortic valve area from magnetic resonance imaging and conducted genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in 59,571 participants in the UK Biobank. Incorporating the aortic valve measurement GWAS with aortic stenosis GWAS using multitrait analysis of GWAS (MTAG), we identified 166 distinct loci (134 with aortic valve traits, 134 with aortic stenosis and 166 unique loci across all GWAS), including PCSK9 and LDLR. The MTAG aortic stenosis PGS was associated with aortic stenosis in All of Us (hazard ratio (HR) = 3.32 for top 5% versus all others, P = 8.8 × 10−22) and Mass General Bri
