  • Identification of 371 genetic variants for age at first sex and birth linked to externalising behaviour - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34211149

    ABSTRACT: Age at first sexual intercourse (AFS) and age at first birth (AFB) have implications for health and evolutionary fitness. In this genome-wide association study (AFS, N=387,338; AFB, N=542,901), we identify 371 SNPs, 11 sex-specific, with a 5-6% polygenic score (PGS) prediction. Heritability of AFB shifted from 9% [CI=4-14] for women born in 1940 to 22% [CI=19-25] in 1965. Signals are driven by the genetics of reproductive biology and externalising behaviour, with key genes related to follicle stimulating hormone (FSHB), implantation (ESR1), infertility, and spermatid differentiation. Our findings suggest that Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome may lead to later AFB, linking with infertility. Late AFB is associated with parental longevity, and reduced incidence of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) a

  • Genome-wide association study of dietary intake in the UK biobank study and its associations with schizophrenia and other traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32066663

    ABSTRACT: Motivated by observational studies that report associations between schizophrenia and traits, such as poor diet, increased body mass index and metabolic disease, we investigated the genetic contribution to dietary intake in a sample of 335,576 individuals from the UK Biobank study. A principal component analysis applied to diet question item responses generated two components: Diet Component 1 (DC1) represented a meat-related diet and Diet Component 2 (DC2) a fish and plant-related diet. Genome-wide association analysis identified 29 independent single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with DC1 and 63 SNPs with DC2. Estimated from over 35,000 3rd-degree relative pairs that are unlikely to share close family environments, heritabilities for both DC1 and DC2 were 0.16 (sta

  • Comprehensive genomic analysis of dietary habits in UK Biobank identifies hundreds of genetic associations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32193382

    ABSTRACT: Unhealthful dietary habits are leading risk factors for life-altering diseases and mortality. Large-scale biobanks now enable genetic analysis of traits with modest heritability, such as diet. We perform a genomewide association on 85 single food intake and 85 principal component-derived dietary patterns from food frequency questionnaires in UK Biobank. We identify 814 associated loci, including olfactory receptor associations with fruit and tea intake; 136 associations are only identified using dietary patterns. Mendelian randomization suggests our top healthful dietary pattern driven by wholemeal vs. white bread consumption is causally influenced by factors correlated with education but is not strongly causal for coronary artery disease or type 2 diabetes. Overall, we demonstra

  • Polygenic prediction of educational attainment within and between families from genome-wide association analyses in 3 million individuals - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35361970

    ABSTRACT: We conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment (EA) in a sample of ~3 million individuals and identify 3,952 approximately uncorrelated genome-wide-significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A genome-wide polygenic predictor, or polygenic index (PGI), explains 12-16% of EA variance and contributes to risk prediction for ten diseases. Direct effects (i.e., controlling for parental PGIs) explain roughly half the PGI's magnitude of association with EA and other phenotypes. The correlation between mate-pair PGIs is far too large to be consistent with phenotypic assortment alone, implying additional assortment on PGI-associated factors. In an additional GWAS of dominance deviations from the additive model, we identify no genome-wide-significan
