• Discovery of genomic loci associated with sleep apnea risk through multi-trait GWAS analysis with snoring - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36525587

  ABSTRACT: Abstract Study Objectives Despite its association with severe health conditions, the etiology of sleep apnea (SA) remains understudied. This study sought to identify genetic variants robustly associated with SA risk. Methods We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of SA across five cohorts (NTotal = 523 366), followed by a multi-trait analysis of GWAS (multi-trait analysis of genome-wide association summary statistics [MTAG]) to boost power, leveraging the high genetic correlation between SA and snoring. We then adjusted our results for the genetic effects of body mass index (BMI) using multi-trait-based conditional and joint analysis (mtCOJO) and sought replication of lead hits in a large cohort of participants from 23andMe, Inc (NTotal = 1 477

• Tissue-specific genetic variation suggests distinct molecular pathways between body shape phenotypes and colorectal cancer - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38640244

  ABSTRACT: It remains unknown whether adiposity subtypes are differentially associated with colorectal cancer (CRC). To move beyond single-trait anthropometric indicators, we derived four multi-trait body shape phenotypes reflecting adiposity subtypes from principal components analysis on body mass index, height, weight, waist-to-hip ratio, and waist and hip circumference. A generally obese (PC1) and a tall, centrally obese (PC3) body shape were both positively associated with CRC risk in observational analyses in 329,828 UK Biobank participants (3728 cases). In genome-wide association studies in 460,198 UK Biobank participants, we identified 3414 genetic variants across four body shapes and Mendelian randomization analyses confirmed positive associations of PC1 and PC3 with CRC risk (52,77
