• Genetic analyses across cardiovascular traits: leveraging genetic correlations to empower locus discovery and prediction in common cardiovascular diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41022758

  ABSTRACT: Common genetic variation detected by genome-wide association studies (GWAS) partially explains variability in the spectrum of cardiac phenotypes. In this work, we explore genetic correlations among 58 cardiac-related traits/diseases, detecting novel ones. We subsequently employ multi-trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG), which meta-analyzes genetically correlated traits, to improve genomic loci discovery and prediction in atrial fibrillation (AF), coronary artery disease (CAD), and heart failure (HF). We identify 19 novel loci specific for AF, 131 for CAD, and 141 for HF. Polygenic scores (PGS) in 15,177 Canadian individuals show similar results when PGS are derived from conventional GWAS versus MTAG summary statistics, although MTAG-PGS improve prediction and discrimination of CAD in f

• High Blood Pressure and Intraocular Pressure: A Mendelian Randomization Study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35762941

  ABSTRACT: Purpose To test for causality with regard to the association between blood pressure (BP) and intraocular pressure (IOP) and glaucoma. Methods Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with BP were identified in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of 526,001 participants of European ancestry. These SNPs were used to assess the BP versus IOP relationship in a distinct sample (n = 70,832) whose corneal-compensated IOP (IOPcc) was measured. To evaluate the BP versus primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) relationship, additional Mendelian randomization (MR) analyses were conducted using published GWAS summary statistics. Results Observational analysis revealed a linear relationship between BP traits and IOPcc, with a +0.28 mm Hg increase in IOPcc per 10-mm Hg inc
