• Identifying missing pieces in color vision defects: a genome-wide association study in Silk Road populations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37359372

  ABSTRACT: Introduction: Color vision defects (CVDs) are conditions characterized by the alteration of normal trichromatic vision. CVDs can arise as the result of alterations in three genes (OPN1LW, OPN1MW, OPN1SW) or as a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental factors. To date, apart from Mendelian CVDs forms, nothing is known about multifactorial CVDs forms. Materials and Methods: Five hundred and twenty individuals from Silk Road isolated communities were genotyped and phenotypically characterized for CVDs using the Farnsworth D-15 color test. The CVDs traits Deutan-Protan (DP) and Tritan (TR) were analysed. Genome Wide Association Study for both traits was performed, and results were corrected with a False Discovery Rate linkage-based approach (FDR-p). Gene expression o

• 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 =
