  • Genetic architecture reconciles linkage and association studies of complex traits. - Nature genetics (2024) · Sidorenko J, Couvy-Duchesne B, Kemper KE, Moen GH, Bhatta L, Åsvold BO, Mägi R, Ani A, Wang R, Nolte IM, Gordon S, Hayward C, Campbell A, Benjamin DJ, Cesarini D, Evans DM, Goddard ME, Haley CS, Porteous D, Medland SE, Martin NG, Snieder H, Metspalu A, Hveem K, Brumpton B, Visscher PM, Yengo L · PubMed 39375568

    Linkage studies have successfully mapped loci underlying monogenic disorders, but mostly failed when applied to common diseases. Conversely, genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified replicable associations between thousands of SNPs and complex traits, yet capture less than half of the total heritability. In the present study we reconcile these two approaches by showing that linkage signals of height and body mass index (BMI) from 119,000 sibling pairs colocalize with GWAS-identified loci. Concordant with polygenicity, we observed the following: a genome-wide inflation of linkage test statistics; that GWAS results predict linkage signals; and that adjusting phenotypes for polygenic scores reduces linkage signals. Finally, we developed a method using recombination rate-stratif

  • Large-scale GWAS of food liking reveals genetic determinants and genetic correlations with distinct neurophysiological traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35585065

    ABSTRACT: We present the results of a GWAS of food liking conducted on 161,625 participants from the UK-Biobank. Liking was assessed over 139 specific foods using a 9-point scale. Genetic correlations coupled with structural equation modelling identified a multi-level hierarchical map of food-liking with three main dimensions: "Highly-palatable", "Acquired" and "Low-caloric". The Highly-palatable dimension is genetically uncorrelated from the other two, suggesting that independent processes underlie liking high reward foods. This is confirmed by genetic correlations with MRI brain traits which show with distinct associations. Comparison with the corresponding food consumption traits shows a high genetic correlation, while liking exhibits twice the heritability. GWAS analysis id
