  • A saturated map of common genetic variants associated with human height - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36224396

    ABSTRACT: Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40-50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and associated regions requires huge sample sizes. Here, using data from a genome-wide association study of 5.4 million individuals of diverse ancestries, we show that 12,111 independent SNPs that are significantly associated with height account for nearly all of the common SNP-based heritability. These SNPs are clustered within 7,209 non-overlapping genomic segments with a mean size of around 90 kb, covering about 21% of the genome. The density of independent associations varies across the genome and the regions of increased density are enriched for biologically relevant genes. In out-of-sample estimation

  • PIK3R3 is a candidate regulator of platelet count in people of Bangladeshi ancestry - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37538507

    ABSTRACT: Background Blood platelets are mediators of atherothrombotic disease and are regulated by complex sets of genes. Association studies in European ancestry populations have already detected informative platelet regulatory loci. Studies in other ancestries can potentially reveal new associations because of different allele frequencies, linkage structures, and variant effects. Objectives To reveal new regulatory genes for platelet count (PLT). Methods Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) were performed in 20,218 Bangladeshi and 9198 Pakistani individuals from the Genes & Health study. Loci significantly associated with PLT underwent fine-mapping to identify candidate genes. Results Of 1588 significantly associated variants (P < 5 × 10−8) at 20 loci in the Bangladeshi analysis,
