  • Discovery and prioritization of variants and genes for kidney function in >1.2 million individuals - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34272381

    ABSTRACT: Genes underneath signals from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for kidney function are promising targets for functional studies, but prioritizing variants and genes is challenging. By GWAS meta-analysis for creatinine-based estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from the Chronic Kidney Disease Genetics Consortium and UK Biobank (n = 1,201,909), we expand the number of eGFRcrea loci (424 loci, 201 novel; 9.8% eGFRcrea variance explained by 634 independent signal variants). Our increased sample size in fine-mapping (n = 1,004,040, European) more than doubles the number of signals with resolved fine-mapping (99% credible sets down to 1 variant for 44 signals, ≤5 variants for 138 signals). Cystatin-based eGFR and/or blood urea nitrogen association support 348 lo

  • 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
