  • Identification of loci involved in childhood visual acuity and associations with cognitive skills and educational attainment - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37491545

    ABSTRACT: Visual acuity significantly contributes to quality of life. Deficits in childhood are associated with reading difficulties, which can have detrimental effects on education outcomes. In adults, it has been observed that vision defects such as myopia are associated with higher educational attainment (EA). Understanding genetic factors contributing to visual acuity could help to dissect its links with cognitive skills, neurodevelopmental conditions, and education. We examined associations between distance visual acuity, cognitive measures including school grades, and neurodevelopmental conditions in a longitudinal cohort of British children (ALSPAC, n = 6807, M age = 11.8). We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS, n = 5571) on visual acuity and tested for gene

  • Multi-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis with 472,819 individuals identifies 32 novel risk loci for psoriasis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39885523

    ABSTRACT: Background Psoriasis is a common chronic, recurrent, immune-mediated disease involved in the skin or joints or both. However, deeper insight into the genetic susceptibility of psoriasis is still unclear. Methods Here we performed the largest multi-ancestry meta-analysis of genome-wide association study including 28,869 psoriasis cases and 443,950 healthy controls. Results We identified 74 genome-wide significant loci for psoriasis. Of 74 loci, 32 were novel psoriasis risk loci. Across 74 loci, 801 likely causal genes are indicated and 164 causal genes are prioritized. SNP-based heritability analyses demonstrated that common variants explain 15% of genetic risk for psoriasis. Gene-set analyses and the genetic correlation revealed that psoriasis-related genes have the positive corr
