• Multi-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis identifies novel basal cell carcinoma loci and shared genetic effects with squamous cell carcinoma - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38182794

  ABSTRACT: Basal cell carcinoma (BCC) is one of the most common malignancies worldwide, yet its genetic determinants are incompletely defined. We perform a European ancestry genome-wide association (GWA) meta-analysis and a Hispanic/Latino ancestry GWA meta-analysis and meta-analyze both in a multi-ancestry GWAS meta-analysis of BCC, totaling 50,531 BCC cases and 762,234 controls from four cohorts (GERA, Mass-General Brigham Biobank, UK Biobank, and 23andMe research cohort). Here we identify 122 BCC-associated loci, of which 36 were novel, and subsequently fine-mapped these associations. We also identify an association of the well-known pigment gene SLC45A2 as well as associations at RCC2 and CLPTM1L with BCC in Hispanic/Latinos. We examine these BCC loci for association with cutaneous squa

• Identification of 371 genetic variants for age at first sex and birth linked to externalising behaviour - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34211149

  ABSTRACT: Age at first sexual intercourse (AFS) and age at first birth (AFB) have implications for health and evolutionary fitness. In this genome-wide association study (AFS, N=387,338; AFB, N=542,901), we identify 371 SNPs, 11 sex-specific, with a 5-6% polygenic score (PGS) prediction. Heritability of AFB shifted from 9% [CI=4-14] for women born in 1940 to 22% [CI=19-25] in 1965. Signals are driven by the genetics of reproductive biology and externalising behaviour, with key genes related to follicle stimulating hormone (FSHB), implantation (ESR1), infertility, and spermatid differentiation. Our findings suggest that Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome may lead to later AFB, linking with infertility. Late AFB is associated with parental longevity, and reduced incidence of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) a
