  • A systematic analysis of protein-altering exonic variants in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. - American journal of physiology.

    Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have identified regions associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). GWASs of other diseases have shown an approximately 10-fold overrepresentation of nonsynonymous variants, despite limited exonic coverage on genotyping arrays. We hypothesized that a large-scale analysis of coding variants could discover novel genetic associations with COPD, including rare variants with large effect sizes. We performed a meta-analysis of exome arrays from 218,399 controls and 33,851 moderate-to-severe COPD cases. All exome-wide significant associations were present in regions previously identified by GWAS. We did not identify any novel rare coding variants with large effect sizes. Within GWAS regions on chromosomes 5q, 6p, and 15q, four coding varia

  • 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%

  • Genetic landscape of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease identifies heterogeneous cell type and phenotype associations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30804561

    ABSTRACT: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the leading cause of respiratory mortality worldwide. Genetic risk loci provide novel insights into disease pathogenesis. We performed a genome-wide association study in 35,735 cases and 222,076 controls from the UK Biobank and additional studies from the International COPD Genetics Consortium. We identified 82 loci with P-value < 5 × 10−8; 47 were previously described in association with either COPD or population-based lung function. Of the remaining 35 novel loci, 13 were associated with lung function in 79,055 individuals from the SpiroMeta consortium. Using gene expression and regulation data, we identified enrichment for loci in lung tissue, smooth muscle and several lung cell types. We found 14 COPD loci shared with either

Lifestyle context

Concrete actions anchored to the cited research. We do not prescribe, we describe.

Lifestyle

  • smoking and secondhand smoke exposure High

    Genetic variants in SPPL2C-MAPT-AS1 significantly increase COPD risk; smoking is the primary modifiable COPD risk factor

    Do not smoke; avoid secondhand smoke; discuss cessation support if currently smoking

  • air quality and occupational exposures Moderate

    Air pollution and occupational dust/chemical exposures compound genetic COPD risk

    Monitor air quality index; avoid poor air days if possible; use respiratory protection for occupational exposure

Screening

  • baseline pulmonary function testing Moderate

    Individuals with genetic COPD predisposition benefit from early identification of airway obstruction

    Discuss baseline spirometry screening with healthcare provider; consider testing by age 40 if not done
