• Uncovering the multivariate genetic architecture of frailty with genomic structural equation modeling - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40759756

  ABSTRACT: Frailty is a multifaceted clinical state associated with accelerated aging and adverse health outcomes. Informed etiological models of frailty hold promise for producing widespread health improvements across the aging population. Frailty is currently measured using aggregate scores, which obscure etiological pathways that are only relevant to subcomponents of frailty. Here we perform a multivariate genome-wide association study of the latent genetic architecture between 30 frailty deficits, which identifies 408 genomic risk loci. Our model includes a general factor of genetic overlap across all deficits, plus six new factors indexing a shared genetic signal across specific groups of deficits. We demonstrate the added clinical and etiological value of the six factors, including pr

• Multi-trait association analysis reveals shared genetic loci between Alzheimer's disease and cardiovascular traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39537608

  ABSTRACT: Several cardiovascular traits and diseases co-occur with Alzheimer's disease. We mapped their shared genetic architecture using multi-trait genome-wide association studies. Subsequent fine-mapping and colocalisation highlighted 16 genetic loci associated with both Alzheimer's and cardiovascular diseases. We prioritised rs11786896, which colocalised with Alzheimer's disease, atrial fibrillation and expression of PLEC in the heart left ventricle, and rs7529220, which colocalised with Alzheimer's disease, atrial fibrillation and expression of C1Q family genes. Single-cell RNA-sequencing data, co-expression network and protein-protein interaction analyses provided evidence for different mechanisms of PLEC, which is upregulated in left ventricular endothelium and cardiomyocyte
