• Genetic Studies of Metabolomics Change After a Liquid Meal Illuminate Novel Pathways for Glucose and Lipid Metabolism. - Diabetes (2022) · Li-Gao R, Hughes DA, van Klinken JB, de Mutsert R, Rosendaal FR, Mook-Kanamori DO, Timpson NJ, Willems van Dijk K · PubMed 34610981

  Humans spend the greater part of the day in a postprandial state. However, the genetic basis of postprandial blood measures is relatively uncharted territory. We examined the genetics of variation in concentrations of postprandial metabolites ( = 150 min) in response to a liquid mixed meal through genome-wide association studies (GWAS) performed in the Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity (NEO) study ( = 5,705). The metabolite response GWAS identified an association between glucose change and rs10830963:G in the melatonin receptor 1B (β [SE] -0.23 [0.03], = 2.15 × 10 ). In addition, the locus led by rs458741:C showed strong associations with extremely large VLDL (XXLVLDL) particle response (XXLVLDL total cholesterol: β [SE] 0.17 [0.03], = 5.76 × 10 ; XXLVLDL cholesterol ester: β [SE] 0

• Diversity and scale: Genetic architecture of 2068 traits in the VA Million Veteran Program - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39024449

  ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Findings from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have provided foundational knowledge of the genetic basis of disease, facilitating precision approaches for prevention and treatment. Current GWAS results are limited by underrepresentation of individuals from diverse populations, leading to concerns with generalizability regarding our knowledge of the relationships between genes, traits, and disease. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Million Veteran Program (MVP), one of the largest US-based biobanks, addresses this need; 29% of MVP comprises individuals genetically similar to African (AFR), Admixed American (AMR), and East Asian (EAS) reference populations. With over 635,000 participants and more than 44.3M genotyped variants linked with detailed phenotyp

• Genome-wide analysis of blood lipid metabolites in over 5000 South Asians reveals biological insights at cardiometabolic disease loci - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34503513

  ABSTRACT: Background Genetic, lifestyle, and environmental factors can lead to perturbations in circulating lipid levels and increase the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. However, how changes in individual lipid species contribute to disease risk is often unclear. Moreover, little is known about the role of lipids on cardiovascular disease in Pakistan, a population historically underrepresented in cardiovascular studies. Methods We characterised the genetic architecture of the human blood lipidome in 5662 hospital controls from the Pakistan Risk of Myocardial Infarction Study (PROMIS) and 13,814 healthy British blood donors from the INTERVAL study. We applied a candidate causal gene prioritisation tool to link the genetic variants associated with each lipid to the most likely

• 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%

• Characterising metabolomic signatures of lipid-modifying therapies through drug target mendelian randomisation - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35213538

  ABSTRACT: Large-scale molecular profiling and genotyping provide a unique opportunity to systematically compare the genetically predicted effects of therapeutic targets on the human metabolome. We firstly constructed genetic risk scores for 8 drug targets on the basis that they primarily modify low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (HMGCR, PCKS9, and NPC1L1), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (CETP), or triglycerides (APOC3, ANGPTL3, ANGPTL4, and LPL). Conducting mendelian randomisation (MR) provided strong evidence of an effect of drug-based genetic scores on coronary artery disease (CAD) risk with the exception of ANGPTL3. We then systematically estimated the effects of each score on 249 metabolic traits derived using blood samples from an unprecedented sample size of up to

• Exploration of haplotype research consortium imputation for genome-wide association studies in 20,032 Generation Scotland participants - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 28270201

  ABSTRACT: Background The Generation Scotland: Scottish Family Health Study (GS:SFHS) is a family-based population cohort with DNA, biological samples, socio-demographic, psychological and clinical data from approximately 24,000 adult volunteers across Scotland. Although data collection was cross-sectional, GS:SFHS became a prospective cohort due to of the ability to link to routine Electronic Health Record (EHR) data. Over 20,000 participants were selected for genotyping using a large genome-wide array. Methods GS:SFHS was analysed using genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to test the effects of a large spectrum of variants, imputed using the Haplotype Research Consortium (HRC) dataset, on medically relevant traits measured directly or obtained from EHRs. The HRC dataset is the largest

• Genome-wide analyses of individual differences in quantitatively assessed reading- and language-related skills in up to 34,000 people - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35998220

  ABSTRACT: Significance Our unique capacities for spoken and written language are fundamental features of what makes us human, yet the biological bases remain largely mysterious. We present a large-scale well-powered genome-wide association study meta-analysis of individual differences in reading- and language-related skills (word reading, nonword reading, spelling, phoneme awareness, and nonword repetition) in tens of thousands of participants. The findings prompt a major reevaluation of prior literature claiming candidate gene associations in much smaller samples. Moreover, we use the novel genetic data as windows into multiple aspects of the biology of these important abilities, revealing molecular links to individual differences in neuroanatomy of language-related brain areas and enrich

• Decreased Circulating Very Small Low-Density Lipoprotein is Likely Causal for Age-Related Macular Degeneration - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39091897

  ABSTRACT: Objective Abnormal changes in metabolite levels in serum or plasma have been highlighted in several studies in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of irreversible vision loss. Specific changes in lipid profiles are associated with an increased risk of AMD. Metabolites could thus be used to investigate AMD disease mechanisms or incorporated into AMD risk prediction models. However, whether particular metabolites causally affect the disease has yet to be established. Design A 3-tiered analysis of blood metabolites in the United Kingdom (UK) Biobank cohort to identify metabolites that differ in AMD patients with evidence for a putatively causal role in AMD. Participants A total of 72 376 donors from the UK Biobank cohort including participants with AMD (N =
