  • Diversity and scale: Genetic architecture of 2068 traits in the VA Million Veteran Program - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39024449

    ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

  • Trans-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of prostate cancer identifies new susceptibility loci and informs genetic risk prediction - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33398198

    ABSTRACT: Prostate cancer is a highly heritable disease with large disparities in incidence rates across ancestry populations. We conducted a multiancestry meta-analysis of prostate cancer genome-wide association studies (107,247 cases and 127,006 controls) and identified 86 new genetic risk variants independently associated with prostate cancer risk, bringing the total to 269 known risk variants. The top genetic risk score (GRS) decile was associated with odds ratios that ranged from 5.06 [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.84-5.29] for men of European ancestry to 3.74 [95% CI 3.36-4.17] for men of African ancestry. Men of African ancestry were estimated to have a mean GRS that was 2.18-times higher [95% CI 2.14-2.22], and men of East Asian ancestry 0.73-times lower [95% CI 0.71-0.76]

  • Genome-wide association study of prostate-specific antigen levels in 392,522 men identifies new loci and improves prediction across ancestry groups - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39930085

    ABSTRACT: We conducted a multiancestry genome-wide association study of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in 296,754 men (211,342 European ancestry, 58,236 African ancestry, 23,546 Hispanic/Latino and 3,630 Asian ancestry; 96.5% of participants were from the Million Veteran Program). We identified 318 independent genome-wide significant (P ≤ 5 × 10−8) variants, 184 of which were novel. Most demonstrated evidence of replication in an independent cohort (n = 95,768). Meta-analyzing discovery and replication (n = 392,522) identified 447 variants, of which a further 111 were novel. Out-of-sample variance in PSA explained by our genome-wide polygenic risk scores ranged from 11.6% to 16.6% for European ancestry, 5.5% to 9.5% for African ancestry, 13.5% to 18.2% for Hispanic

  • Genetically adjusted PSA levels for prostate cancer screening - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37264206

    ABSTRACT: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer remains controversial because it increases overdiagnosis and overtreatment of clinically insignificant tumors. Accounting for genetic determinants of constitutive, non-cancer-related PSA variation has potential to improve screening utility. In this study, we discovered 128 genome-wide significant associations (P < 5 × 10−8) in a multi-ancestry meta-analysis of 95,768 men and developed a PSA polygenic score (PGSPSA) that explains 9.61% of constitutive PSA variation. We found that, in men of European ancestry, using PGS-adjusted PSA would avoid up to 31% of negative prostate biopsies but also result in 12% fewer biopsies in patients with prostate cancer, mostly with Gleason score <7 tumors.

  • Characterizing prostate cancer risk through multi-ancestry genome-wide discovery of 187 novel risk variants - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37945903

    [INTRO] Introduction [INTRO] The transferability and clinical value of genetic risk scores (GRS) across populations remains limited due to an imbalance in genetic studies across ancestrally diverse populations. We conducted a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 156,319 prostate cancer cases and 788,443 controls of European, African, Asian, and Hispanic men, reflecting a 57% increase in the number of non-European cases over previous prostate cancer GWAS. We identified 187 novel risk variants for prostate cancer, increasing the total number of risk variants to 451. An externally replicated multi-ancestry GRS was associated with risk that ranged from 1.8 (per standard deviation (SD)) in African ancestry men to 2.2 in European ancestry men. The GRS was associated with a gre
