• Genetic Correlation, Shared Loci, and Causal Association Between Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin and Bone Mineral Density: Insights From a Large-Scale Genomewide Cross-Trait Analysis. - Journal of bone and mineral research : the official journal of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (2023) · Qu Y, Xiao C, Wu X, Zhu J, Qin C, He L, Cui H, Zhang L, Zhang W, Yang C, Yao Y, Li J, Liu Z, Zhang B, Wang W, Jiang X · PubMed 37615194

  Although the impact of sex hormones on bone metabolism is well-documented, effect of their primary modulator, sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), remains inconclusive. This study aims to elucidate the genetic overlap between SHBG and heel estimated bone mineral density (eBMD), a widely-accepted tool for osteoporosis management and fracture risk assessment. Using summary statistics from large-scale genomewide association studies conducted for SHBG (N = 370,125), SHBG adjusted for body mass index (SHBGa, N = 368,929), and eBMD (N = 426,824), a comprehensive genomewide cross-trait approach was performed to quantify global and local genetic correlations, identify pleiotropic loci, and infer causal associations. A significant overall inverse genetic correlation was found for SHBG a

• An atlas of genetic influences on osteoporosis in humans and mice - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30598549

  ABSTRACT: Osteoporosis is a common aging-related disease diagnosed primarily using bone mineral density (BMD). We assessed genetic determinants of BMD as estimated by heel quantitative ultrasound (eBMD) in 426,824 individuals, identifying 518 genome-wide significant loci (301 novel), explaining 20% of its variance. We identified 13 bone fracture loci, all associated with eBMD, in ~1.2M individuals. We then identified target genes enriched for genes known to influence bone density and strength (maximum odds-ratio=58, p=10-75) from cell-specific features, including chromatin conformation and accessible chromatin sites. We next performed rapid-throughput skeletal phenotyping of 126 knockout mice lacking target genes and found an increased abnormal skeletal phenotype frequency compared to 526

• Genomic and transcriptomic analyses of aortic stenosis enhance therapeutic target discovery and disease prediction - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41419686

  ABSTRACT: Aortic stenosis (AS) is a common valvular heart disease and has no pharmacological therapies. We performed a multi-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of 86,864 AS cases among 2,853,408 individuals, discovering 241 autosomal independent risk loci and 3 X chromosome risk loci. We additionally performed sex-stratified and ancestry-stratified genome-wide association studies (GWASs), identifying an additional 5 sex-specific risk loci, 11 risk loci in European ancestry individuals and 1 risk locus in African ancestry individuals. We also performed a transcriptome-wide association study using expression quantitative trait loci from human aortic valves, discovering 54 new genes for which genetically predicted expression influences the risk of AS. We then generated a new polyg
