Assessing the impact of alcohol consumption on the genetic contribution to mean corpuscular volume - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34104963
ABSTRACT: Abstract The relationship between the genetic loci that influence mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and those associated with excess alcohol drinking is unknown. We used white British participants from the UK Biobank (n = 362 595) to assess the association between alcohol consumption and MCV, and whether this was modulated by genetic factors. Multivariable regression was applied to identify predictors of MCV. GWAS, with and without stratification for alcohol consumption, determined how genetic variants influence MCV. SNPs in ADH1B, ADH1C and ALDH1B were used to construct a genetic score to test the assumption that acetaldehyde formation is an important determinant of MCV. Additional investigations using Mendelian randomization and phenomewide association analysis were conduct

Genetic architecture of 11 organ traits derived from abdominal MRI using deep learning - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34128465
ABSTRACT: Cardiometabolic diseases are an increasing global health burden. While socioeconomic, environmental, behavioural, and genetic risk factors have been identified, a better understanding of the underlying mechanisms is required to develop more effective interventions. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to assess organ health, but biobank-scale studies are still in their infancy. Using over 38,000 abdominal MRI scans in the UK Biobank, we used deep learning to quantify volume, fat, and iron in seven organs and tissues, and demonstrate that imaging-derived phenotypes reflect health status. We show that these traits have a substantial heritable component (8-44%) and identify 93 independent genome-wide significant associations, including four associations with liver traits
