  • A genome-wide association study identified 10 novel genomic loci associated with intrinsic capacity - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41066301

    ABSTRACT: Abstract Background Intrinsic capacity (IC) is a multidimensional concept within the World Health Organization framework for healthy aging. It refers to the composite of an individual's physical and mental capacities that enable them to maintain well-being, functional ability, and engagement in valued activities throughout life. While substantial evidence supports the biological basis of IC and its subdomains, the extent to which genetic factors influence IC remains largely unexplored, with no studies currently available. Methods Using datasets from the UK Biobank (UKB; N = 44 631) and the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging (CLSA; N = 13 085), we implemented the restricted maximum likelihood method to estimate SNP-based heritability (h2snp), followed by a Genome-Wide

  • Loss-of-function genomic variants highlight potential therapeutic targets for cardiovascular disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33339817

    ABSTRACT: Pharmaceutical drugs targeting dyslipidemia and cardiovascular disease (CVD) may increase the risk of fatty liver disease and other metabolic disorders. To identify potential novel CVD drug targets without these adverse effects, we perform genome-wide analyses of participants in the HUNT Study in Norway (n = 69,479) to search for protein-altering variants with beneficial impact on quantitative blood traits related to cardiovascular disease, but without detrimental impact on liver function. We identify 76 (11 previously unreported) presumed causal protein-altering variants associated with one or more CVD- or liver-related blood traits. Nine of the variants are predicted to result in loss-of-function of the protein. This includes ZNF529:p.K405X, which is associated with decreas
