• The Genetic Makeup of the Electrocardiogram - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32916098

  ABSTRACT: SUMMARY The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most useful non-invasive diagnostic tests for a wide array of cardiac disorders. Traditional approaches to analyzing ECGs focus on individual segments. Here, we performed comprehensive deep phenotyping of 77,190 ECGs in the UK Biobank across the complete cycle of cardiac conduction, resulting in 500 spatial-temporal datapoints, across 10 million genetic variants. In addition to characterizing polygenic risk scores for the traditional ECG segments, we identified over 300 genetic loci that are statistically associated with the high-dimensional representation of the ECG. We established the genetic ECG signature for dilated cardiomyopathy, associated the BAG3, HSPB7/CLCNKA, PRKCA, TMEM43, and OBSCN loci with disease risk and confirmed

• Investigating the shared genetic architecture between adiposity measures and obesity-related cancers - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40874817

  ABSTRACT: Abstract Fat distribution patterns are increasingly linked to obesity-related cancers; however, their shared genetic determinants remain unclear. To identify shared genetic architecture between adiposity measures and obesity-related cancers. Utilizing large-scale summary statistics from genome-wide association study, we conducted genome-wide cross trait analyses of nine adiposity measures [body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip (WTH) ratio, waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI, arm fat ratio, trunk fat ratio, leg fat ratio, abdominal subcutaneous adipose tissue, gluteofemoral adipose tissue, and visceral adipose tissue] in five obesity-related cancers (colorectal cancer, esophageal adenocarcinoma, breast cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer) to characterize their shared gen

• Shared Genetic and Experimental Links between Obesity-Related Traits and Asthma Subtypes in UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31669095

  ABSTRACT: Background: Clinical and epidemiological studies have shown that obesity is associated with asthma and that these associations differ by asthma subtypes. Little is known about the shared genetic components between obesity and asthma. Objective: To identify shared genetic associations between obesity-related traits and asthma subtypes in adults. Methods: A cross-trait genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using 457,822 individuals of European ancestry from the UK Biobank. Experimental evidence to support the role of genes significantly associated with both obesity-related traits and asthma via GWAS was sought using results from obese vs. lean mouse RNA-seq and RT-PCR experiments. Results: We found a substantial positive genetic correlation between BMI and later-onset

• Whole-Genome Sequencing Coupled to Imputation Discovers Genetic Signals for Anthropometric Traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 28552196

  ABSTRACT: Deep sequence-based imputation can enhance the discovery power of genome-wide association studies by assessing previously unexplored variation across the common- and low-frequency spectra. We applied a hybrid whole-genome sequencing (WGS) and deep imputation approach to examine the broader allelic architecture of 12 anthropometric traits associated with height, body mass, and fat distribution in up to 267,616 individuals. We report 106 genome-wide significant signals that have not been previously identified, including 9 low-frequency variants pointing to functional candidates. Of the 106 signals, 6 are in genomic regions that have not been implicated with related traits before, 28 are independent signals at previously reported regions, and 72 represent previously reported signals
