  • Genome-wide analysis of insomnia in 1,331,010 individuals identifies new risk loci and functional pathways. - Nature genetics (2019) · Jansen PR, Watanabe K, Stringer S, Skene N, Bryois J, Hammerschlag AR, de Leeuw CA, Benjamins JS, Muñoz-Manchado AB, Nagel M, Savage JE, Tiemeier H, White T, Tung JY, Hinds DA, Vacic V, Wang X, Sullivan PF, van der Sluis S, Polderman TJC, Smit AB, Hjerling-Leffler J, Van Someren EJW, Posthuma D · PubMed 30804565

    Insomnia is the second most prevalent mental disorder, with no sufficient treatment available. Despite substantial heritability, insight into the associated genes and neurobiological pathways remains limited. Here, we use a large genetic association sample (n = 1,331,010) to detect novel loci and gain insight into the pathways, tissue and cell types involved in insomnia complaints. We identify 202 loci implicating 956 genes through positional, expression quantitative trait loci, and chromatin mapping. The meta-analysis explained 2.6% of the variance. We show gene set enrichments for the axonal part of neurons, cortical and subcortical tissues, and specific cell types, including striatal, hypothalamic, and claustrum neurons. We found considerable genetic correlations with psychiatric tr

  • 150 risk variants for diverticular disease of intestine prioritize cell types and enable polygenic prediction of disease susceptibility - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37492107

    ABSTRACT: Summary We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis of diverticular disease (DivD) of intestine within 724,372 individuals and identified 150 independent genome-wide significant DNA variants. Integration of the GWAS results with human gut single-cell RNA sequencing data implicated gut myocyte, mesothelial and stromal cells, and enteric neurons and glia in DivD development. Ninety-five genes were prioritized based on multiple lines of evidence, including SLC9A3, a drug target gene of tenapanor used for the treatment of the constipation subtype of irritable bowel syndrome. A DivD polygenic score (PGS) enables effective risk prediction (area under the curve [AUC], 0.688; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.645-0.732) and the top 20% PGS was associated with ∼3.6-fold

  • Genome-Wide Association Study of Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms including 33,943 individuals from the general population - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38548983

    ABSTRACT: While 1-2% of individuals meet the criteria for a clinical diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), many more (~13-38%) experience subclinical obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) during their life. To characterize the genetic underpinnings of OCS and its genetic relationship to OCD, we conducted the largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of parent- or self-reported OCS to date (N = 33,943 with complete phenotypic and genome-wide data), combining the results from seven large-scale population-based cohorts from Sweden, the Netherlands, England, and Canada (including six twin cohorts and one cohort of unrelated individuals). We found no genome-wide significant associations at the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) or gene-level, but a polygenic
