  • A longitudinal genome-wide association study of bone mineral density mean and variability in the UK Biobank. - Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA (2023) · He D, Liu H, Wei W, Zhao Y, Cai Q, Shi S, Chu X, Qin X, Zhang N, Xu P, Zhang F · PubMed 37500982

    Bone mineral density (BMD) is an essential predictor of osteoporosis and fracture. We conducted a genome-wide trajectory analysis of BMD and analyzed the BMD change. This study aimed to identify the genetic architecture and potential biomarkers of BMD. Our analysis included 141,261 white participants from the UK Biobank with heel BMD phenotype data. We used a genome-wide trajectory analysis tool, TrajGWAS, to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of BMD. Then, we validated our findings in previously reported BMD genetic associations and performed replication analysis in the Asian participants. Finally, gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the identified candidate genes was conducted using the FUMA platform. A total of 52 genes associated with BMD trajectory mean were identified,

  • Improved genetic discovery and fine-mapping resolution through multivariate latent factor analysis of high-dimensional traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40220762

    ABSTRACT: Summary Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of high-dimensional traits, such as blood cell or metabolic traits, often use univariate approaches, ignoring trait relationships. Biological mechanisms generating variation in high-dimensional traits can be captured parsimoniously through a GWAS of latent factors. Here, we introduce flashfmZero, a zero-correlation latent-factor-based multi-trait fine-mapping approach. In an application to 25 latent factors derived from 99 blood cell traits in the INTERVAL cohort, we show that latent factor GWASs enable the detection of signals generating sub-threshold associations with several blood cell traits. The 99% credible sets (CS99) from flashfmZero were equal to or smaller in size than those from univariate fine-mapping of blood cell trait
