    ABSTRACT: Previous research has supported the use of latent variables as the gold-standard in measuring executive function. However, for logistical reasons genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of executive function have largely eschewed latent variables in favour of singular task measures. As low correlations have traditionally been found between individual executive function (EF) tests, it is unclear whether these GWAS have truly been measuring the same construct. In this study, we addressed this question by performing a factor analysis on summary statistics from eleven GWAS of EF taken from five studies, using GenomicSEM. Models demonstrated a bifactor structure consistent with previous research, with factors capturing common EF and working memory- specific variance. Furthermore, the G

  • Shared Genetic and Experimental Links between Obesity-Related Traits and Asthma Subtypes in UK Biobank - The Journal of allergy and clinical immunology (2020) · Zhu Z, Guo Y, Shi H, Liu CL, Panganiban RA, Chung W, O'Connor LJ, Himes BE, Gazal S, Hasegawa K, Camargo CA, Qi L, Moffatt MF, Hu FB, Lu Q, Cookson WOC, Liang L · PubMed 31669095

    ABSTRACT: Background: Clinical and epidemiological studies have shown that obesity is associated with asthma and that these associations differ by asthma subtypes. Little is known about the shared genetic components between obesity and asthma. Objective: To identify shared genetic associations between obesity-related traits and asthma subtypes in adults. Methods: A cross-trait genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed using 457,822 individuals of European ancestry from the UK Biobank. Experimental evidence to support the role of genes significantly associated with both obesity-related traits and asthma via GWAS was sought using results from obese vs. lean mouse RNA-seq and RT-PCR experiments. Results: We found a substantial positive genetic correlation between BMI and later-onset
