The causes and consequences of Alzheimer’s disease: phenome-wide evidence from Mendelian randomization
Korologou-Linden, Roxanna; Bhatta, Laxmi; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Howe, Laura D.; Millard, Louise A. C.; Kolaric, Katarina; Ben-Shlomo, Yoav; Williams, Dylan M.; Smith, George Davey; Anderson, Emma L.; Stergiakouli, Evie; Davies, Neil Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) has no proven causal and modifiable risk factors, or effective interventions. We report a phenome-wide association study (PheWAS) of genetic liability for AD in 334,968 participants of the UK Biobank ... -
Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies new loci and functional pathways influencing Alzheimer's disease risk
Jansen, Iris E.; Savage, Jeanne E.; Watanabe, Kyoko; Bryois, Julien; Williams, Dylan M.; Steinberg, Stacy; Sealock, Julia; Karlsson, Ida K.; Hägg, Sara; Athanasiu, Lavinia; Voyle, Nicola; Proitsi, Petroula; Witoelar, Aree; Stringer, Sven; Aarsland, Dag; Almdahl, Ina Selseth; Andersen, Fred; Bergh, Sverre; Bettella, Francesco; Björnsson, Sigurbjörn; Brækhus, Anne; Bråthen, Geir; de Leeuw, Christiaan A.; Desikan, Rahul S.; Djurovic, Srdjan; Dumitrescu, Logan; Fladby, Tormod; Hohman, Timothy J.; Jónsson, Pálmi V.; Kiddle, Steven J; Rongve, Arvid; Saltvedt, Ingvild; Sando, Sigrid Botne; Selbæk, Geir; Shoai, Maryam; Skene, Nathan G.; Snædal, Jón G.; Stordal, Eystein; Ulstein, Ingun; Wang, Yunpeng; White, Linda Rosemary; Hardy, John; Hjerling-Leffler, Jens; Sullivan, Patrick; van der Flier, Wiesje M.; Dobson, Richard; Davis, Lea K; Stefánsson, Hreinn; Stefánsson, Kári; Pedersen, Nancy L; Ripke, Stephan; Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Posthuma, Danielle (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is highly heritable and recent studies have identified over 20 disease-associated genomic loci. Yet these only explain a small proportion of the genetic variance, indicating that undiscovered loci ... -
Little genomic support for Cyclophilin A-matrix metalloproteinase-9 pathway as a therapeutic target for cognitive impairment in APOE4 carriers
Anderson, Emma L.; Williams, Dylan M.; Walker, Venexia M.; Davies, Neil Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Therapeutic targets for halting the progression of Alzheimer’s disease pathology are lacking. Recent evidence suggests that APOE4, but not APOE3, activates the Cyclophilin-A matrix metalloproteinase-9 (CypA-MMP9) pathway, ... -
Polygenic and socioeconomic risk for high body mass index: 69 years of follow-up across life
Bann, David; Wright, Liam; Hardy, Rebecca; Williams, Dylan M.; Davies, Neil Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Genetic influences on body mass index (BMI) appear to markedly differ across life, yet existing research is equivocal and limited by a paucity of life course data. We thus used a birth cohort study to investigate differences ...
