  • GWAS and multi-omics integrative analysis reveal novel loci and their molecular mechanisms for circulating fatty acids - HGG advances (2025) · Sun Y, Xu H, Ye K · PubMed 40545721

    ABSTRACT: Summary Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified genetic loci associated with the circulating levels of fatty acids (FAs), but the biological mechanisms of these genetic associations remain largely unexplored. Here, we conducted GWAS to identify additional genetic loci for 19 circulating FA traits in UK Biobank participants of European ancestry (n = 239,268) and five other ancestries (n = 508-4,663). We leveraged the GWAS findings to characterize genetic correlations and colocalized regions among FAs, explore sex differences, examine FA loci influenced by lipoprotein metabolism, and apply statistical fine-mapping to pinpoint putative causal variants. We integrated GWAS signals with multi-omics quantitative trait loci (QTL) to reveal intermediate molecular

  • Genome-wide association study of fish oil supplementation on lipid traits in 81,246 individuals reveals new gene-diet interaction loci - PLoS genetics (2021) · Francis M, Li C, Sun Y, Zhou J, Li X, Brenna JT, Ye K · PubMed 33760818

    ABSTRACT: Fish oil supplementation is widely used for reducing serum triglycerides (TAGs) but has mixed effects on other circulating cardiovascular biomarkers. Many genetic polymorphisms have been associated with blood lipids, including high- and low-density-lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C, LDL-C), total cholesterol, and TAGs. Here, the gene-diet interaction effects of fish oil supplementation on these lipids were analyzed in a discovery cohort of up to 73,962 UK Biobank participants, using a 1-degree-of-freedom (1df) test for interaction effects and a 2-degrees-of-freedom (2df) test to jointly analyze interaction and main effects. Associations with P < 1×10−6 in either test (26,157; 18,300 unique variants) were advanced to replication in up to 7,284 participants from the Atherosclerosis
