  • Boosting Schizophrenia Genetics by Utilizing Genetic Overlap With Brain Morphology. - Biological psychiatry (2022) · van der Meer D, Shadrin AA, O'Connell K, Bettella F, Djurovic S, Wolfers T, Alnæs D, Agartz I, Smeland OB, Melle I, Sánchez JM, Linden DEJ, Dale AM, Westlye LT, Andreassen OA, Frei O, Kaufmann T · PubMed 35164939

    Schizophrenia is a complex polygenic disorder with subtle, distributed abnormalities in brain morphology. There are indications of shared genetic architecture between schizophrenia and brain measures despite low genetic correlations. Through the use of analytical methods that allow for mixed directions of effects, this overlap may be leveraged to improve our understanding of underlying mechanisms of schizophrenia and enrich polygenic risk prediction outcome. We ran a multivariate genome-wide analysis of 175 brain morphology measures using data from 33,735 participants of the UK Biobank and analyzed the results in a conditional false discovery rate together with schizophrenia genome-wide association study summary statistics of the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) Wave 3. We subsequentl

  • 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

  • The genetics of a "femaleness/maleness" score in cardiometabolic traits in the UK biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37277458

    ABSTRACT: We recently devised continuous "sex-scores" that sum up multiple quantitative traits, weighted by their respective sex-difference effect sizes, as an approach to estimating polyphenotypic "maleness/femaleness" within each binary sex. To identify the genetic architecture underlying these sex-scores, we conducted sex-specific genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in the UK Biobank cohort (females: n = 161,906; males: n = 141,980). As a control, we also conducted GWASs of sex-specific "sum-scores", simply aggregating the same traits, without weighting by sex differences. Among GWAS-identified genes, while sum-score genes were enriched for genes differentially expressed in the liver in both sexes, sex-score genes were enriched for genes differentially expressed
