• Genetic associations with ratios between protein levels detect new pQTLs and reveal protein-protein interactions - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38412862

  ABSTRACT: Summary Protein quantitative trait loci (pQTLs) are an invaluable source of information for drug target development because they provide genetic evidence to support protein function, suggest relationships between cis- and trans-associated proteins, and link proteins to disease endpoints. Using Olink proteomics data for 1,463 proteins measured in over 54,000 samples of the UK Biobank, we identified 4,248 associations with 2,821 ratios between protein levels (rQTLs). rQTLs were 7.6-fold enriched in known protein-protein interactions, suggesting that their ratios reflect biological links between the implicated proteins. Conducting a GWAS on ratios increased the number of discovered genetic signals by 24.7%. The approach can identify novel loci of clinical relevance, support causal g

• Combined analysis of keratinocyte cancers identifies novel genome-wide loci - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31174203

  ABSTRACT: Abstract The keratinocyte cancers (KC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) are the most common cancers in fair-skinned people. KC treatment represents the second highest cancer healthcare expenditure in Australia. Increasing our understanding of the genetic architecture of KC may provide new avenues for prevention and treatment. We first conducted a series of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of KC across three European ancestry datasets from Australia, Europe and USA, and used linkage disequilibrium (LD) Score regression (LDSC) to estimate their pairwise genetic correlations. We employed a multiple-trait approach to map genes across the combined set of KC GWAS (total N = 47 742 cases, 634 413 controls). We also performed meta-analyses of BC
