  • Common and Rare Genetic Variants That Could Contribute to Severe Otitis Media in an Australian Aboriginal Population - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33693626

    ABSTRACT: Abstract Background Our goal was to identify genetic risk factors for severe otitis media (OM) in Aboriginal Australians. Methods Illumina® Omni2.5 BeadChip and imputed data were compared between 21 children with severe OM (multiple episodes chronic suppurative OM and/or perforations or tympanic sclerosis) and 370 individuals without this phenotype, followed by FUnctional Mapping and Annotation (FUMA). Exome data filtered for common (EXaC_all ≥ 0.1) putative deleterious variants influencing protein coding (CADD-scaled scores ≥15] were used to compare 15 severe OM cases with 9 mild cases (single episode of acute OM recorded over ≥3 consecutive years). Rare (ExAC_all ≤ 0.01) such variants were filtered for those present only in severe OM. Enrichr was used to determ

  • 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
