  • Exome chip analysis identifies low-frequency and rare variants in MRPL38 for white matter hyperintensities on brain MRI - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30002152

    ABSTRACT: Background and Purpose White matter hyperintensities (WMH) on brain magnetic resonance imaging are typical signs of cerebral small vessel disease and may indicate various pre-clinical, age-related neurological disorders such as stroke. Though WMH are highly heritable, known common variants explain a small proportion of the WMH variance. The contribution of low-frequency/rare coding variants to WMH burden has not been explored. Methods In the discovery sample we recruited 20,719 stroke/dementia-free adults from 13 population-based cohort studies within the Cohorts for Heart and Aging Research in Genomic Epidemiology consortium, among which 17,790 were of European ancestry (EA) and 2,929 of African ancestry (AA). We genotyped these participants at ~250,000 mostly exonic variants wi

  • Identification of 64 Novel Genetic Loci Provides an Expanded View on the Genetic Architecture of Coronary Artery Disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29212778

    ABSTRACT: Supplemental Digital Content is available in the text. Rationale: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a complex phenotype driven by genetic and environmental factors. Ninety-seven genetic risk loci have been identified to date, but the identification of additional susceptibility loci might be important to enhance our understanding of the genetic architecture of CAD. Objective: To expand the number of genome-wide significant loci, catalog functional insights, and enhance our understanding of the genetic architecture of CAD. Methods and Results: We performed a genome-wide association study in 34 541 CAD cases and 261 984 controls of UK Biobank resource followed by replication in 88 192 cases and 162 544 controls from CARDIoGRAMplusC4D. We identified 75 loci that replicated and

  • Genetic associations with ratios between protein levels detect new pQTLs and reveal protein-protein interactions - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38412862

    ABSTRACT: Summary Protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) are an invaluable source of information for drug target development because they provide genetic evidence to support protein function, suggest relationships between cis- and trans-associated proteins, and link proteins to disease endpoints. Using Olink proteomics data for 1,463 proteins measured in over 54,000 samples of the UK Biobank, we identified 4,248 associations with 2,821 ratios between protein levels (rQTLs). rQTLs were 7.6-fold enriched in known protein-protein interactions, suggesting that their ratios reflect biological links between the implicated proteins. Conducting a GWAS on ratios increased the number of discovered genetic signals by 24.7%. The approach can identify novel loci of clinical relevance, support causal g

  • Genetic analyses across cardiovascular traits: leveraging genetic correlations to empower locus discovery and prediction in common cardiovascular diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41022758

    ABSTRACT: Common genetic variation detected by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) partially explains variability in the spectrum of cardiac phenotypes. In this work, we explore genetic correlations among 58 cardiac-related traits/diseases, detecting novel ones. We subsequently employ multi-trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG), which meta-analyzes genetically correlated traits, to improve genomic loci discovery and prediction in atrial fibrillation (AF), coronary artery disease (CAD), and heart failure (HF). We identify 19 novel loci specific for AF, 131 for CAD, and 141 for HF. Polygenic scores (PGS) in 15,177 Canadian individuals show similar results when PGS are derived from conventional GWAS versus MTAG summary statistics, although MTAG-PGS improve prediction and discrimination of CAD in f
