  • Cross-Ancestry Investigation of Venous Thromboembolism Genomic Predictors - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36154123

    ABSTRACT: Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a life-threatening vascular event with environmental and genetic determinants. Recent VTE genome-wide association studies (GWAS) meta-analyses involved nearly 30,000 VTE cases and identified up to 40 genetic loci associated with VTE risk, including loci not previously suspected to play a role in hemostasis. The aims of our research were to expand discovery of new genetic loci associated with VTE by using cross-ancestry genomic resources. Methods: We present new cross-ancestry meta-analyzed GWAS results involving up to 81,669 VTE cases from 30 studies, with replication of novel loci in independent populations and loci characterization through in silico genomic interrogations. Results: In our genetic discovery effort that included 55,330

  • 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

Discuss with your doctor

  • venous thromboembolism risk and prevention Moderate

    This variant associates with increased venous thromboembolism risk; carriers warrant clinical discussion of personalized prevention strategies.

Screening

  • bone mineral density assessment Moderate

    This variant associates with reduced bone mineral density; genetic predisposition warrants baseline assessment and personalized monitoring strategy.
