  • Genome-wide analysis of blood lipid metabolites in over 5000 South Asians reveals biological insights at cardiometabolic disease loci - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34503513

    ABSTRACT: Background Genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors can lead to perturbations in circulating lipid levels and increase the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, how changes in individual lipid species contribute to disease risk is often unclear. Moreover, little is known about the role of lipids on cardiovascular disease in Pakistan, a population historically underrepresented in cardiovascular studies. Methods We characterised the genetic architecture of the human blood lipidome in 5662 hospital controls from the Pakistan Risk of Myocardial Infarction Study (PROMIS) and 13,814 healthy British blood donors from the INTERVAL study. We applied a candidate causal gene prioritisation tool to link the genetic variants associated with each lipid to the most likely

  • Genome-wide analyses of individual differences in quantitatively assessed reading- and language-related skills in up to 34,000 people - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35998220

    ABSTRACT: Significance Our unique capacities for spoken and written language are fundamental features of what makes us human, yet the biological bases remain largely mysterious. We present a large-scale well-powered genome-wide association study meta-analysis of individual differences in reading- and language-related skills (word reading, nonword reading, spelling, phoneme awareness, and nonword repetition) in tens of thousands of participants. The findings prompt a major reevaluation of prior literature claiming candidate gene associations in much smaller samples. Moreover, we use the novel genetic data as windows into multiple aspects of the biology of these important abilities, revealing molecular links to individual differences in neuroanatomy of language-related brain areas and enrich

  • Decreased Circulating Very Small Low-Density Lipoprotein is Likely Causal for Age-Related Macular Degeneration - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39091897

    ABSTRACT: Objective Abnormal changes in metabolite levels in serum or plasma have been highlighted in several studies in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of irreversible vision loss. Specific changes in lipid profiles are associated with an increased risk of AMD. Metabolites could thus be used to investigate AMD disease mechanisms or incorporated into AMD risk prediction models. However, whether particular metabolites causally affect the disease has yet to be established. Design A 3-tiered analysis of blood metabolites in the United Kingdom (UK) Biobank cohort to identify metabolites that differ in AMD patients with evidence for a putatively causal role in AMD. Participants A total of 72 376 donors from the UK Biobank cohort including participants with AMD (N =
