  • Modeling the genomic architecture of adiposity and anthropometrics across the lifespan - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40796553

    ABSTRACT: Obesity-related conditions are among the leading causes of preventable death and are increasing in prevalence worldwide. Body size and composition are complex traits that are challenging to characterize due to environmental and genetic influences, longitudinal variation, heterogeneity between sexes, and differing health risks based on adipose distribution. Here, we construct a 4-factor genomic structural equation model using 18 measures, unveiling shared and distinct genetic architectures underlying birth size, abdominal size, adipose distribution, and adiposity. Multivariate genome-wide associations reveal the adiposity factor is enriched specifically in neural tissues and pathways, while adipose distribution is enriched more broadly across physiological systems. In addition, po

  • Genome-wide interaction analysis of pathological hallmarks in Alzheimer's disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32450446

    ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies have identified many loci associated with Alzheimer's dementia. However, these variants only explain part of the heritability of Alzheimer's disease (AD). As genetic epistasis can be a major contributor to the "missing heritability" of AD, we conducted genome-wide epistasis screening for AD pathologies in two independent cohorts. First, we performed a genome-wide epistasis study of AD-related brain pathologies (Nmax = 1,318) in ROS/MAP. Candidate interactions were validated using cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers of AD in ADNI (Nmax = 1,128). Further functional analysis tested the association of candidate interactions with neuroimaging phenotypes. For tau and amyloid-β (Aβ) pathology, we identified 2,803 and 464 candidate SNP-SNP interaction
