  • A longitudinal genome-wide association study of bone mineral density mean and variability in the UK Biobank. - Osteoporosis international : a journal established as result of cooperation between the European Foundation for Osteoporosis and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA (2023) · He D, Liu H, Wei W, Zhao Y, Cai Q, Shi S, Chu X, Qin X, Zhang N, Xu P, Zhang F · PubMed 37500982

    Bone mineral density (BMD) is an essential predictor of osteoporosis and fracture. We conducted a genome-wide trajectory analysis of BMD and analyzed the BMD change. This study aimed to identify the genetic architecture and potential biomarkers of BMD. Our analysis included 141,261 white participants from the UK Biobank with heel BMD phenotype data. We used a genome-wide trajectory analysis tool, TrajGWAS, to conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of BMD. Then, we validated our findings in previously reported BMD genetic associations and performed replication analysis in the Asian participants. Finally, gene-set enrichment analysis (GSEA) of the identified candidate genes was conducted using the FUMA platform. A total of 52 genes associated with BMD trajectory mean were identified,

  • A large Canadian cohort provides insights into the genetic architecture of human hair colour - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34737440

    ABSTRACT: Hair colour is a polygenic phenotype that results from differences in the amount and ratio of melanins located in the hair bulb. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many loci involved in the pigmentation pathway affecting hair colour. However, most of the associated loci overlap non-protein coding regions and many of the molecular mechanisms underlying pigmentation variation are still not understood. Here, we conduct GWAS meta-analyses of hair colour in a Canadian cohort of 12,741 individuals of European ancestry. By performing fine-mapping analyses we identify candidate causal variants in pigmentation loci associated with blonde, red and brown hair colour. Additionally, we observe colocalization of several GWAS hits with expression and methylation quantitative
