• Multivariate genomic analysis of 5 million people elucidates the genetic architecture of shared components of the metabolic syndrome - Nature genetics (2024) · Park S, Kim S, Kim B, Kim DS, Kim J, Ahn Y, Kim H, Song M, Shim I, Jung SH, Cho C, Lim S, Hong S, Jo H, Fahed AC, Natarajan P, Ellinor PT, Torkamani A, Park WY, Yu TY, Myung W, Won HH · PubMed 39349817

  ABSTRACT: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a complex hereditary condition comprising various metabolic traits as risk factors. Although the genetics of individual MetS components have been investigated actively through large-scale genome-wide association studies, the conjoint genetic architecture has not been fully elucidated. Here, we performed the largest multivariate genome-wide association study of MetS in Europe (nobserved = 4,947,860) by leveraging genetic correlation between MetS components. We identified 1,307 genetic loci associated with MetS that were enriched primarily in brain tissues. Using transcriptomic data, we identified 11 genes associated strongly with MetS. Our phenome-wide association and Mendelian randomization analyses highlighted associations of MetS with diverse di

• Genetic evidence that high BMI in childhood has a protective effect on intermediate diabetes traits, including measures of insulin sensitivity and secretion, after accounting for BMI in adulthood - Diabetologia (2023) · Hawkes G, Beaumont RN, Tyrrell J, Power GM, Wood A, Laakso M, Fernandes Silva L, Boehnke M, Yin X, Richardson TG, Smith GD, Frayling TM · PubMed 37280435

  ABSTRACT: Aims/hypothesis Determining how high BMI at different time points influences the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and affects insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity is critical. Methods By estimating childhood BMI in 441,761 individuals in the UK Biobank, we identified which genetic variants had larger effects on adulthood BMI than on childhood BMI, and vice versa. All genome-wide significant genetic variants were then used to separate the independent genetic effects of high childhood BMI from those of high adulthood BMI on the risk of type 2 diabetes and insulin-related phenotypes using Mendelian randomisation. We performed two-sample MR using external studies of type 2 diabetes, and oral and intravenous measures of insulin secretion and sensitivity. Results We found tha

• Genomics and phenomics of body mass index reveals a complex disease network - Nature communications (2023) · Huang J, Huffman JE, Huang Y, Do Valle Í, Assimes TL, Raghavan S, Voight BF, Liu C, Barabási AL, Huang RDL, Hui Q, Nguyen XT, Ho YL, Djousse L, Lynch JA, Vujkovic M, Tcheandjieu C, Tang H, Damrauer SM, Reaven PD, Miller D, Phillips LS, Ng MCY, Graff M, Haiman CA, Loos RJF, North KE, Yengo L, Smith GD, Saleheen D, Gaziano JM, Rader DJ, Tsao PS, Cho K, Chang KM, Wilson PWF, Sun YV, O'Donnell CJ · PubMed 36581621

  ABSTRACT: Elevated body mass index (BMI) is heritable and associated with many health conditions that impact morbidity and mortality. The study of the genetic association of BMI across a broad range of common disease conditions offers the opportunity to extend current knowledge regarding the breadth and depth of adiposity-related diseases. We identify 906 (364 novel) and 41 (6 novel) genome-wide significant loci for BMI among participants of European (N~1.1 million) and African (N~100,000) ancestry, respectively. Using a BMI genetic risk score including 2446 variants, 316 diagnoses are associated in the Million Veteran Program, with 96.5% showing increased risk. A co-morbidity network analysis reveals seven disease communities containing multiple interconnected diseases associated with BMI

• Pleiotropic genetic architecture and novel loci for C-reactive protein levels - Nature communications (2022) · Koskeridis F, Evangelou E, Said S, Boyle JJ, Elliott P, Dehghan A, Tzoulaki I · PubMed 36376304

  ABSTRACT: C-reactive protein is involved in a plethora of pathophysiological conditions. Many genetic loci associated with C-reactive protein are annotated to lipid and glucose metabolism genes supporting common biological pathways between inflammation and metabolic traits. To identify novel pleiotropic loci, we perform multi-trait analysis of genome-wide association studies on C-reactive protein levels along with cardiometabolic traits, followed by a series of in silico analyses including colocalization, phenome-wide association studies and Mendelian randomization. We find 41 novel loci and 19 gene sets associated with C-reactive protein with various pleiotropic effects. Additionally, 41 variants colocalize between C-reactive protein and cardiometabolic risk factors and 12 of them display

• 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
