• Whole-exome imputation within UK Biobank powers rare coding variant association and fine-mapping analyses - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34226706

  ABSTRACT: Exome association studies to date have generally been underpowered to systematically evaluate the phenotypic impact of very rare coding variants. We leveraged extensive haplotype sharing between 49,960 exome-sequenced UK Biobank participants and the remainder of the cohort (total N~500K) to impute exome-wide variants with accuracy R2>0.5 down to minor allele frequency (MAF) ~0.00005. Association and fine-mapping analyses of 54 quantitative traits identified 1,189 significant associations (P<5 x 10−8) involving 675 distinct rare protein-altering variants (MAF<0.01) that passed stringent filters for likely causality. Across all traits, 49% of associations (578/1,189) occurred in genes with two or more hits; follow-up analyses of these genes identified allelic series containing up

• Genetics of 35 blood and urine biomarkers in the UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33462484

  ABSTRACT: Clinical laboratory tests are a critical component of the continuum of care. We evaluate the genetic basis of 35 blood and urine laboratory measurements in the UK Biobank (n=363,228 individuals). We identify 1,857 loci associated with at least one trait, containing 3,374 fine-mapped associations, and additional sets of large-effect (> 0.1 sd) protein-altering, HLA, and copy-number variant associations. Through Mendelian Randomization analysis, we discover 51 causal relationships, including previously known agonistic effects of urate on gout and cystatin C on stroke. Finally, we develop polygenic risk scores for each biomarker and built 'multi-PRS' models for diseases using 35 PRSs simultaneously, which improved chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, gout, and alcoholic cirr

• Using human genetics to understand the disease impacts of testosterone in men and women - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32042192

  ABSTRACT: Testosterone supplementation is commonly used for its effects on sexual function, bone health and body composition, yet its effects on disease outcomes are unknown. To better understand this, we identified genetic determinants of testosterone levels and related sex hormone traits in 425,097 UK Biobank study participants. Using 2,571 genome-wide significant associations, we demonstrate the genetic determinants of testosterone levels are substantially different between sexes, and that genetically higher testosterone is harmful for metabolic diseases in women but beneficial in men. For example, a genetically determined 1-standard deviation higher testosterone increases the risks of Type 2 diabetes (T2D) (OR=1.37 [1.22-1.53]) and polycystic ovary syndrome (OR=1.51 [1.33-1.72]) in
