    • Genome-wide meta-analysis of iron status biomarkers and the effect of iron on all-cause mortality in HUNT 

      Moksnes, Marta Riise; Graham, Sarah E.; Wu, Kuan-Han; Hansen, Ailin Falkmo; Gagliano Taliun, Sarah A.; Zhou, Wei; Thorstensen, Ketil; Fritsche, Lars; Gill, Dipender; Mason, Amy; Cucca, Francesco; Schlessinger, David; Abecasis, Gonçalo R.; Burgess, Stephen; Åsvold, Bjørn Olav; Nielsen, Jonas Bille; Hveem, Kristian; Willer, Cristen J.; Brumpton, Ben Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Iron is essential for many biological processes, but iron levels must be tightly regulated to avoid harmful effects of both iron deficiency and overload. Here, we perform genome-wide association studies on four iron-related ...

    • Global Biobank analyses provide lessons for developing polygenic risk scores across diverse cohorts 

      Wang, Ying; Lopera, Esteban; Namba, Shinichi; Kerminen, Sini; Tsuo, Kristin; Läll, Kristi; Kanai, Masahiro; Zhou, Wei; Wu, Kuan-Han; Favé, Marie-Julie; Bhatta, Laxmi; Awadalla, Philip; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Deelen, Patrick; Hveem, Kristian; Faro, Valeria Lo; Mägi, Reedik; Murakami, Yoshinori; Sanna, Serena; Smoller, Jordan W.; Uzunovic, Jasmina; Wolford, Brooke N.; GBMI, .; Willer, Cristen; Gamazon, Eric R.; Cox, Nancy J.; Surakka, Ida; Okada, Yukinori; Martin, Alicia R.; Hirbo, Jibril B. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) have been widely explored in precision medicine. However, few studies have thoroughly investigated their best practices in global populations across different diseases. We here utilized data ...

    • Multi-ancestry meta-analysis identifies 5 novel loci for ischemic stroke and reveals heterogeneity of effects between sexes and ancestries 

      Surakka, Ida; Wu, Kuan-Han; Hornsby, Whitney; Wolford, Brooke N.; Shen, Fred; Zhou, Wei; Huffman, Jennifer E.; Pandit, Anita; Hu, Yao; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Skogholt, Anne Heidi; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Walters, Robin G.; Hveem, Kristian; Kooperberg, Charles; Zöllner, Sebastian; Wilson, Peter W.F.; Sutton, Nadia R.; Daly, Mark J.; Neale, Benjamin M.; Willer, Cristen J. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Stroke is the second leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Stroke prevalence varies by sex and ancestry, possibly due to genetic heterogeneity between subgroups. We performed a genome-wide meta-analysis of 16 ...
