  • 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%

  • Genome-wide association study of facial morphology reveals novel associations with FREM1 and PARK2 - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 28441456

    ABSTRACT: Several studies have now shown evidence of association between common genetic variants and quantitative facial traits in humans. The reported associations generally involve simple univariate measures and likely represent only a small fraction of the genetic loci influencing facial morphology. In this study, we applied factor analysis to a set of 276 facial linear distances derived from 3D facial surface images of 2187 unrelated individuals of European ancestry. We retained 23 facial factors, which we then tested for genetic associations using a genome-wide panel of 10,677,593 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In total, we identified genome-wide significant (p < 5 × 10−8) associations in three regions, including two that are novel: one involving measures of midface height
