  • Common and ethnic-specific genetic determinants of hemoglobin concentration between Taiwanese Han Chinese and European Whites: findings from comparative two-stage genome-wide association studies. - The Journal of nutritional biochemistry (2022) · Timoteo VJ, Chiang KM, Yang HC, Pan WH · PubMed 35964923

    Human iron nutrition is a result of interplays between genetic and environmental factors. However, there has been scarcity of data on the genetic variants associated with altered iron homeostasis and ethnic-specific associations are further lacking. In this study, we compared between the Taiwanese Han Chinese (HC) and European Whites the genetic determinants of hemoglobin (Hb) concentration, a biochemical parameter that in part reflects the amount of functional iron in the body. Through sex-specific two-stage genome-wide association studies (2S-GWAS), we observed the consistent Hb-association of SNPs in TMPRSS6 (chr 22), ABO (chr 9), and PRKCE (chr 2) across sexes in both ethnic groups. Specific to the Taiwanese HC, the Hb-association of AXIN1, together with other loci near the chr 16 alph

  • Genetic Architecture of Trans-Laminar Cribrosa Pressure Difference and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 42017308

    ABSTRACT: Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the genetic architecture of translaminar cribrosa pressure difference (TLCPD) provides genetic insights based on dual-pressure theory beyond intraocular pressure (IOP) and whether a TLCPD-based polygenic risk score (PRS) predicts primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) risk and its pleiotropic effects. Methods The genome-wide association study (GWAS) of TLCPD was conducted in 82,147 individuals of European ancestry from the UK Biobank (UKBB). Functional enrichment analysis and colocalization analysis were performed to identify associated genes, tissues, and pathways. PRS was calculated in an independent set of 268,734 unrelated European-ancestry individuals not included in the TLCPD GWAS. A survival analysis was utilized to
