  • New role of fat-free mass in cancer risk linked with genetic predisposition - Scientific reports (2024) · Harris BHL, Di Giovannantonio M, Zhang P, Harris DA, Lord SR, Allen NE, Maughan TS, Bryant RJ, Harris AL, Bond GL, Buffa FM · PubMed 38538606

    ABSTRACT: Cancer risk is associated with the widely debated measure body mass index (BMI). Fat mass and fat-free mass measurements from bioelectrical impedance may further clarify this association. The UK Biobank is a rare resource in which bioelectrical impedance and BMI data was collected on ~ 500,000 individuals. Using this dataset, a comprehensive analysis using regression, principal component and genome-wide genetic association, provided multiple levels of evidence that increasing whole body fat (WBFM) and fat-free mass (WBFFM) are both associated with increased post-menopausal breast cancer risk, and colorectal cancer risk in men. WBFM was inversely associated with prostate cancer. We also identified rs615029[T] and rs1485995[G] as associated in independent analyses with both PMB

  • Polygenic prediction of educational attainment within and between families from genome-wide association analyses in 3 million individuals - Nature genetics (2022) · Okbay A, Wu Y, Wang N, Jayashankar H, Bennett M, Nehzati SM, Sidorenko J, Kweon H, Goldman G, Gjorgjieva T, Jiang Y, Hicks B, Tian C, Hinds DA, Ahlskog R, Magnusson PKE, Oskarsson S, Hayward C, Campbell A, Porteous DJ, Freese J, Herd P, Watson C, Jala J, Conley D, Koellinger PD, Johannesson M, Laibson D, Meyer MN, Lee JJ, Kong A, Yengo L, Cesarini D, Turley P, Visscher PM, Beauchamp JP, Benjamin DJ, Young AI · PubMed 35361970

    ABSTRACT: We conduct a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of educational attainment (EA) in a sample of ~3 million individuals and identify 3,952 approximately uncorrelated genome-wide-significant single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). A genome-wide polygenic predictor, or polygenic index (PGI), explains 12-16% of EA variance and contributes to risk prediction for ten diseases. Direct effects (i.e., controlling for parental PGIs) explain roughly half the PGI's magnitude of association with EA and other phenotypes. The correlation between mate-pair PGIs is far too large to be consistent with phenotypic assortment alone, implying additional assortment on PGI-associated factors. In an additional GWAS of dominance deviations from the additive model, we identify no genome-wide-significan

  • 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
