  • Bidirectional relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and coronary artery disease: Prospective cohort study and genetic analyses - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38062574

    ABSTRACT: Abstract Background: While type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is considered a putative causal risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), the intrinsic link underlying T2DM and CAD is not fully understood. We aimed to highlight the importance of integrated care targeting both diseases by investigating the phenotypic and genetic relationships between T2DM and CAD. Methods: We evaluated phenotypic associations using data from the United Kingdom Biobank (N = 472,050). We investigated genetic relationships by leveraging genomic data conducted in European ancestry for T2DM, with and without adjustment for body mass index (BMI) (T2DM: Ncase/Ncontrol = 74,124/824,006; T2DM adjusted for BMI [T2DMadjBMI]: Ncase/Ncontrol = 50,409/523,897) and for CAD (Ncase/Ncontrol = 181,522/984,168). We

  • Large-scale machine-learning-based phenotyping significantly improves genomic discovery for optic nerve head morphology - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34077760

    ABSTRACT: Summary Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) require accurate cohort phenotyping, but expert labeling can be costly, time intensive, and variable. Here, we develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict glaucomatous optic nerve head features from color fundus photographs. We used the model to predict vertical cup-to-disc ratio (VCDR), a diagnostic parameter and cardinal endophenotype for glaucoma, in 65,680 Europeans in the UK Biobank (UKB). A GWAS of ML-based VCDR identified 299 independent genome-wide significant (GWS; p ≤ 5 × 10−8) hits in 156 loci. The ML-based GWAS replicated 62 of 65 GWS loci from a recent VCDR GWAS in the UKB for which two ophthalmologists manually labeled images for 67,040 Europeans. The ML-based GWAS also identified 93 novel loci, significantl
