  • Trans-ethnic association study of blood pressure determinants in over 750,000 individuals - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30578418

    ABSTRACT: In this trans-ethnic multi-omic study we reinterpret the genetic architecture of blood pressure to identify genes, tissues, phenome, and medication contexts of blood pressure homeostasis. We discovered 208 novel common blood pressure SNPs and 53 rare variants in GWASs of systolic, diastolic and pulse pressure in up to 776,078 participants from the Million Veteran Program (MVP) and collaborating studies, with analysis of the blood pressure clinical phenome in MVP. Our transcriptome-wide association study detected 4,043 blood pressure associations with genetically-predicted gene expression of 840 genes in 45 tissues, and murine renal single-cell RNA sequencing identified upregulated blood pressure genes in kidney tubule cells.

  • Deep learning enables genetic analysis of the human thoracic aorta - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34837083

    ABSTRACT: Enlargement or aneurysm of the aorta predisposes to dissection, an important cause of sudden death. We trained a deep learning model to evaluate the dimensions of the ascending and descending thoracic aorta in 4.6 million cardiac magnetic resonance images from the UK Biobank. We then conducted genome-wide association studies in 39,688 individuals, identifying 82 loci associated with ascending and 47 with descending thoracic aortic diameter, of which 14 loci overlapped. Transcriptome-wide analyses, rare-variant burden tests, and human aortic single nucleus RNA sequencing prioritized genes including SVIL, which was strongly associated with descending aortic diameter. A polygenic score for ascending aortic diameter was associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm in 385,621 UK Biobank p
