  • Testosterone and socioeconomic position: Mendelian randomization in 306,248 men and women in UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34321204

    ABSTRACT: Mendelian randomization suggests circulating testosterone does not meaningfully affect men's socioeconomic position. Men with more advantaged socioeconomic position (SEP) have been observed to have higher levels of testosterone. It is unclear whether these associations arise because testosterone has a causal impact on SEP. In 306,248 participants of UK Biobank, we performed sex-stratified genome-wide association analysis to identify genetic variants associated with testosterone. Using the identified variants, we performed Mendelian randomization analysis of the influence of testosterone on socioeconomic position, including income, employment status, neighborhood-level deprivation, and educational qualifications; on health, including self-rated health and body mass index; and on

  • Genome-wide association study of facial morphology reveals novel associations with FREM1 and PARK2 - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 28441456

    ABSTRACT: Several studies have now shown evidence of association between common genetic variants and quantitative facial traits in humans. The reported associations generally involve simple univariate measures and likely represent only a small fraction of the genetic loci influencing facial morphology. In this study, we applied factor analysis to a set of 276 facial linear distances derived from 3D facial surface images of 2187 unrelated individuals of European ancestry. We retained 23 facial factors, which we then tested for genetic associations using a genome-wide panel of 10,677,593 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). In total, we identified genome-wide significant (p < 5 × 10−8) associations in three regions, including two that are novel: one involving measures of midface height
