  • Multivariate genome-wide association study on tissue-sensitive diffusion metrics highlights pathways that shape the human brain - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35505052

    ABSTRACT: The molecular determinants of tissue composition of the human brain remain largely unknown. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) on this topic have had limited success due to methodological constraints. Here, we apply advanced whole-brain analyses on multi-shell diffusion imaging data and multivariate GWAS to two large scale imaging genetic datasets (UK Biobank and the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development study) to identify and validate genetic association signals. We discover 503 unique genetic loci that have impact on multiple regions of human brain. Among them, more than 79% are validated in either of two large-scale independent imaging datasets. Key molecular pathways involved in axonal growth, astrocyte-mediated neuroinflammation, and synaptogenesis during develop

  • Maternal and fetal genetic effects on birth weight and their relevance to cardio-metabolic risk factors - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31043758

    ABSTRACT: Birth weight variation is influenced by fetal and maternal genetic and non-genetic factors, and has been reproducibly associated with future cardio-metabolic health outcomes. In expanded genome-wide association analyses of own birth weight (n=321,223) and offspring birth weight (n=230,069 mothers), we identified 190 independent association signals (129 novel). We used structural equation modelling to decompose the contributions of direct fetal and indirect maternal genetic effects, and then applied Mendelian randomization to illuminate causal pathways. For example, both indirect maternal and direct fetal genetic effects drive the observational relationship between lower birth weight and higher later blood pressure: maternal blood pressure-raising alleles reduce offspring birth we
