  • Genetic Associations Between Stress-Related Disorders and Autoimmune Disease. - The American journal of psychiatry (2023) · Zeng Y, Suo C, Yao S, Lu D, Larsson H, D'Onofrio BM, Lichtenstein P, Fang F, Valdimarsdóttir UA, Song H · PubMed 37002690

    Objective: Emerging evidence supports a bidirectional phenotypic association between stress-related disorders and autoimmune disease. However, the biological underpinnings remain unclear. Here, the authors examined whether and how shared genetics contribute to the observed phenotypic associations. Methods: Based on data from 4,123,631 individuals identified from Swedish nationwide registers, familial coaggregation of stress-related disorders (any disorder or posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD]) and autoimmune disease were initially estimated in seven cohorts with different degrees of kinship. Polygenic risk score (PRS) analyses were then performed with individual-level genotyping data from 376,871 participants in the UK Biobank study. Finally, genetic correlation analyses and enrichment a

  • FLT3 stop mutation increases FLT3 ligand level and risk of autoimmune thyroid disease. - Nature (2020) · Saevarsdottir S, Olafsdottir TA, Ivarsdottir EV, Halldorsson GH, Gunnarsdottir K, Sigurdsson A, Johannesson A, Sigurdsson JK, Juliusdottir T, Lund SH, Arnthorsson AO, Styrmisdottir EL, Gudmundsson J, Grondal GM, Steinsson K, Alfredsson L, Askling J, Benediktsson R, Bjarnason R, Geirsson AJ, Gudbjornsson B, Gudjonsson H, Hjaltason H, Hreidarsson AB, Klareskog L, Kockum I, Kristjansdottir H, Love TJ, Ludviksson BR, Olsson T, Onundarson PT, Orvar KB, Padyukov L, Sigurgeirsson B, Tragante V, Bjarnadottir K, Rafnar T, Masson G, Sulem P, Gudbjartsson DF, Melsted P, Thorleifsson G, Norddahl GL, Thorsteinsdottir U, Jonsdottir I, Stefansson K · PubMed 32581359

    Autoimmune thyroid disease is the most common autoimmune disease and is highly heritable . Here, by using a genome-wide association study of 30,234 cases and 725,172 controls from Iceland and the UK Biobank, we find 99 sequence variants at 93 loci, of which 84 variants are previously unreported . A low-frequency (1.36%) intronic variant in FLT3 (rs76428106-C) has the largest effect on risk of autoimmune thyroid disease (odds ratio (OR) = 1.46, P = 2.37 × 10 ). rs76428106-C is also associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (OR = 1.90, P = 6.46 × 10 ), rheumatoid factor and/or anti-CCP-positive rheumatoid arthritis (OR = 1.41, P = 4.31 × 10 ) and coeliac disease (OR = 1.62, P = 1.20 × 10 ). FLT3 encodes fms-related tyrosine kinase 3, a receptor that regulat

  • A scalable variational inference approach for increased mixed-model association power - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39789286

    ABSTRACT: The rapid growth of modern biobanks is creating new opportunities for large-scale genome-wide association studies (GWASs) and the analysis of complex traits. However, performing GWASs on millions of samples often leads to trade-offs between computational efficiency and statistical power, reducing the benefits of large-scale data collection efforts. We developed Quickdraws, a method that increases association power in quantitative and binary traits without sacrificing computational efficiency, leveraging a spike-and-slab prior on variant effects, stochastic variational inference and graphics processing unit acceleration. We applied Quickdraws to 79 quantitative and 50 binary traits in 405,088 UK Biobank samples, identifying 4.97% and 3.25% more associations than REGENIE and 22.71%

  • The power of genetic diversity in genome-wide association studies of lipids - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34887591

    ABSTRACT: Elevated blood lipid levels are heritable risk factors of cardiovascular disease with varying prevalence worldwide due to differing dietary patterns and medication use. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, particularly through the lowering of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels, heart disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of blood lipid levels have led to important biological and clinical insights, as well as new drug targets, for cardiovascular disease. However, most previous GWAS have been conducted in European ancestry populations and may have missed genetic variants contributing to lipid level variation in other ancestry groups due to differences in allele frequencies, effect sizes, and linkage-disequilibr
