• Metabolic GWAS of elite athletes reveals novel genetically-influenced metabolites associated with athletic performance - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 31882771

  ABSTRACT: Genetic research of elite athletic performance has been hindered by the complex phenotype and the relatively small effect size of the identified genetic variants. The aims of this study were to identify genetic predisposition to elite athletic performance by investigating genetically-influenced metabolites that discriminate elite athletes from non-elite athletes and to identify those associated with endurance sports. By conducting a genome wide association study with high-resolution metabolomics profiling in 490 elite athletes, common variant metabolic quantitative trait loci (mQTLs) were identified and compared with previously identified mQTLs in non-elite athletes. Among the identified mQTLs, those associated with endurance metabolites were determined. Two novel genetic loci in

• GWAS for primary angle-closure glaucoma identifies loci related to ocular biometry and morphology - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41238566

  ABSTRACT: GWAS of primary angle-closure glaucoma have identified eight loci conferring risk in Asian populations. However, it remains unclear whether the genetic risk factors for the disease are consistent across different populations. Here, we present a discovery GWAS for primary angle-closure glaucoma in Europeans using the UK Biobank. We replicate our findings in six independent European populations and compare these results with results from 14 Asian cohorts. Five genomic regions in the discovery cohort are associated at genome-wide significance, including two loci previously identified in Asian cohorts. We next meta-analyse the discovery and replication cohorts to identify six additional novel loci, all previously associated with refractive error. Mendelian randomisation provides evid
