  • Genetic architecture of cerebrospinal fluid and brain metabolite levels and the genetic colocalization of metabolites with human traits. - Nature genetics (2024) · Wang C, Yang C, Western D, Ali M, Wang Y, Phuah CL, Budde J, Wang L, Gorijala P, Timsina J, Ruiz A, Pastor P, Fernandez MV, Panyard DJ, Engelman CD, Deming Y, Boada M, Cano A, Garcia-Gonzalez P, Graff-Radford NR, Mori H, Lee JH, Perrin RJ, Ibanez L, Sung YJ, Cruchaga C · PubMed 39528826

    Brain metabolism perturbation can contribute to traits and diseases. We conducted a genome-wide association study for cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and brain metabolite levels, identifying 205 independent associations (47.3% new signals, containing 11 new loci) for 139 CSF metabolites, and 32 independent associations (43.8% new signals, containing 4 new loci) for 31 brain metabolites. Of these, 96.9% (CSF) and 71.4% (brain) of the new signals belonged to previously analyzed metabolites in blood or urine. We integrated the metabolite quantitative trait loci (MQTLs) with 23 neurological, psychiatric and common human traits and diseases through colocalization to identify metabolites and biological processes implicated in these phenotypes. Combining CSF and brain, we identified 71 metabolite-trait

  • Genetic Association of Albuminuria with Cardiometabolic Disease and Blood Pressure. - American journal of human genetics (2019) · Haas ME, Aragam KG, Emdin CA, Bick AG, Hemani G, Davey Smith G, Kathiresan S · PubMed 30220432

    Excretion of albumin in urine, or albuminuria, is associated with the development of multiple cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, whether pathways leading to albuminuria are causal for cardiometabolic diseases is unclear. We addressed this question using a Mendelian randomization framework in the UK Biobank, a large population-based cohort. We first performed a genome-wide association study for albuminuria in 382,500 individuals and identified 32 new albuminuria loci. We constructed albuminuria genetic risk scores and tested for association with cardiometabolic diseases. Genetically elevated albuminuria was strongly associated with increased risk of hypertension (1.38 OR; 95% CI, 1.27-1.50 per 1 SD predicted increase in albuminuria, p = 7.01 × 10 ). We then examined bidire
