• Genetic Determinants of Circulating Glycine Levels and Risk of Coronary Artery Disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31070104

  ABSTRACT: Background Recent studies have revealed sexually dimorphic associations between the carbamoyl‐phosphate synthase 1 locus, intermediates of the metabolic pathway leading from choline to urea, and risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women. Based on evidence from the literature, the atheroprotective association with carbamoyl‐phosphate synthase 1 could be mediated by the strong genetic effect of this locus on increased circulating glycine levels. Methods and Results We sought to identify additional genetic determinants of circulating glycine levels by carrying out a meta‐analysis of genome‐wide association study data in up to 30 118 subjects of European ancestry. Mendelian randomization and other analytical approaches were used to determine whether glycine‐associated

• Genome-wide association studies of metabolites in Finnish men identify disease-relevant loci - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35347128

  ABSTRACT: Few studies have explored the impact of rare variants (minor allele frequency < 1%) on highly heritable plasma metabolites identified in metabolomic screens. The Finnish population provides an ideal opportunity for such explorations, given the multiple bottlenecks and expansions that have shaped its history, and the enrichment for many otherwise rare alleles that has resulted. Here, we report genetic associations for 1391 plasma metabolites in 6136 men from the late-settlement region of Finland. We identify 303 novel association signals, more than one third at variants rare or enriched in Finns. Many of these signals identify genes not previously implicated in metabolite genome-wide association studies and suggest mechanisms for diseases and disease-related traits. The Finnis
