  • Cross-ancestry and sex-stratified genome-wide association analyses of amygdala and subnucleus volumes. - Nature genetics (2025) · Ji Y, Liu N, Yang Y, Wang M, Cheng J, Zhu W, Qiu S, Geng Z, Cui G, Yu Y, Liao W, Zhang H, Gao B, Xu X, Han T, Yao Z, Zhang Q, Qin W, Liu F, Liang M, Wang S, Xu Q, Xu J, Fu J, Zhang P, Li W, Shi D, Wang C, Lui S, Yan Z, Chen F, Zhang J, Shen W, Miao Y, Wang D, Gao JH, Zhang X, Xu K, Zuo XN, Zhang L, Ye Z, Li MJ, Xian J, Zhang B, Yu C · PubMed 40097784

    The amygdala is a small but critical multi-nucleus structure for emotion, cognition and neuropsychiatric disorders. Although genetic associations with amygdala volumetric traits have been investigated in sex-combined European populations, cross-ancestry and sex-stratified analyses are lacking. Here we conducted cross-ancestry and sex-stratified genome-wide association analyses for 21 amygdala volumetric traits in 6,923 Chinese and 48,634 European individuals. We identified 191 variant-trait associations (P < 2.38 × 10 ), including 47 new associations (12 new loci) in sex-combined univariate analyses and seven additional new loci in sex-combined and sex-stratified multivariate analyses. We identified 12 ancestry-specific and two sex-specific associations. The identified genetic var

  • Cross-ancestry genome-wide association studies of brain imaging phenotypes. - Nature genetics (2024) · Fu J, Zhang Q, Wang J, Wang M, Zhang B, Zhu W, Qiu S, Geng Z, Cui G, Yu Y, Liao W, Zhang H, Gao B, Xu X, Han T, Yao Z, Qin W, Liu F, Liang M, Wang S, Xu Q, Xu J, Zhang P, Li W, Shi D, Wang C, Lui S, Yan Z, Chen F, Zhang J, Li J, Shen W, Miao Y, Wang D, Xian J, Gao JH, Zhang X, Xu K, Zuo XN, Zhang L, Ye Z, Cheng J, Li MJ, Yu C · PubMed 38811844

    Genome-wide association studies of brain imaging phenotypes are mainly performed in European populations, but other populations are severely under-represented. Here, we conducted Chinese-alone and cross-ancestry genome-wide association studies of 3,414 brain imaging phenotypes in 7,058 Chinese Han and 33,224 white British participants. We identified 38 new associations in Chinese-alone analyses and 486 additional new associations in cross-ancestry meta-analyses at P < 1.46 × 10 for discovery and P < 0.05 for replication. We pooled significant autosomal associations identified by single- or cross-ancestry analyses into 6,443 independent associations, which showed uneven distribution in the genome and the phenotype subgroups. We further divided them into 44 associations with dif

  • Genome-wide association studies in a large Korean cohort identify quantitative trait loci for 36 traits and illuminate their genetic architectures - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40436827

    ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have predominantly focused on European ancestry populations, limiting biological discoveries across diverse populations. Here we report GWAS findings from 153,950 individuals across 36 quantitative traits in the Korean Cancer Prevention Study-II (KCPS2) Biobank. We discovered 301 previously unreported genetic loci in KCPS2, including an association between thyroid-stimulating hormone and CD36. Meta-analysis with the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, Biobank Japan, Taiwan Biobank, and UK Biobank identified 4588 loci that were not significant in any contributing GWAS. We describe differences in genetic architectures across these East Asian and European samples. We also highlight East Asian specific associations, including a known pleiotrop
