• Genome-wide association study in 8,956 German individuals identifies influence of ABO histo-blood groups on gut microbiome. - Nature genetics (2021) · Rühlemann MC, Hermes BM, Bang C, Doms S, Moitinho-Silva L, Thingholm LB, Frost F, Degenhardt F, Wittig M, Kässens J, Weiss FU, Peters A, Neuhaus K, Völker U, Völzke H, Homuth G, Weiss S, Grallert H, Laudes M, Lieb W, Haller D, Lerch MM, Baines JF, Franke A · PubMed 33462482

  The intestinal microbiome is implicated as an important modulating factor in multiple inflammatory , neurologic and neoplastic diseases . Recent genome-wide association studies yielded inconsistent, underpowered and rarely replicated results such that the role of human host genetics as a contributing factor to microbiome assembly and structure remains uncertain . Nevertheless, twin studies clearly suggest host genetics as a driver of microbiome composition . In a genome-wide association analysis of 8,956 German individuals, we identified 38 genetic loci to be associated with single bacteria and overall microbiome composition. Further analyses confirm the identified associations of ABO histo-blood groups and FUT2 secretor status with Bacteroides and Faecalibacterium spp. Mendelian randomiza

• Genome-wide association study of intraocular pressure uncovers new pathways to glaucoma. - Nature genetics (2019) · MacGregor S, Ong JS, An J, Han X, Zhou T, Siggs OM, Law MH, Souzeau E, Sharma S, Lynn DJ, Beesley J, Sheldrick B, Mills RA, Landers J, Ruddle JB, Graham SL, Healey PR, White AJR, Casson RJ, Best S, Grigg JR, Goldberg I, Powell JE, Whiteman DC, Radford-Smith GL, Martin NG, Montgomery GW, Burdon KP, Mackey DA, Gharahkhani P, Craig JE, Hewitt AW · PubMed 30054594

  Intraocular pressure (IOP) is currently the sole modifiable risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG), one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide . Both IOP and POAG are highly heritable . We report a combined analysis of participants from the UK Biobank (n = 103,914) and previously published data from the International Glaucoma Genetic Consortium (n = 29,578) that identified 101 statistically independent genome-wide-significant SNPs for IOP, 85 of which have not been previously reported . We examined these SNPs in 11,018 glaucoma cases and 126,069 controls, and 53 SNPs showed evidence of association. Gene-based tests implicated an additional 22 independent genes associated with IOP. We derived an allele score based on the IOP loci and loci influencing optic nerve he

• Genome-wide analyses identify 68 new loci associated with intraocular pressure and improve risk prediction for primary open-angle glaucoma - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29785010

  ABSTRACT: Glaucoma is the leading cause of irreversible blindness globally. Despite its gravity, the disease is frequently undiagnosed in the community. Raised intraocular pressure (IOP) is the most important risk factor for primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG). Here we present a meta-analysis of 139,555 European participants that identified 112 genomic loci associated with IOP, 68 of which are novel. These loci suggest a strong role for angiopoietin-receptor tyrosine kinase signaling, lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function and developmental processes underlying risk for elevated IOP. In addition, 48 of these loci were associated with glaucoma in an independent cohort, 14 of which at a Bonferroni-corrected threshold. Regression-based glaucoma prediction models had an area under Receiving O
