Estimating direct and indirect genetic effects on offspring phenotypes using genome-wide summary results data
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Estimation of direct and indirect (i.e. parental and/or sibling) genetic effects on phenotypes is becoming increasingly important. We compare several multivariate methods that utilize summary results statistics from ... -
European and multi-ancestry genome-wide association meta-analysis of atopic dermatitis highlights importance of systemic immune regulation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin condition and prior genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified 71 associated loci. In the current study we conducted the largest AD GWAS to date (discovery ... -
Exercise induces cerebral VEGF and angiogenesis via the lactate receptor HCAR1
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Physical exercise can improve brain function and delay neurodegeneration; however, the initial signal from muscle to brain is unknown. Here we show that the lactate receptor (HCAR1) is highly enriched in pial fibroblast-like ... -
Exercise training reduces resting heart rate via downregulation of the funny channel HCN4
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Endurance athletes exhibit sinus bradycardia, that is a slow resting heart rate, associated with a higher incidence of sinus node (pacemaker) disease and electronic pacemaker implantation. Here we show that training-induced ... -
Exome-wide association analysis reveals novel coding sequence variants associated with lipid traits in Chinese
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Blood lipids are important risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD). Here we perform an exome-wide association study by genotyping 12,685 Chinese, using a custom Illumina HumanExome BeadChip, to identify additional ... -
Functional dissection of inherited non-coding variation influencing multiple myeloma risk
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Thousands of non-coding variants have been associated with increased risk of human diseases, yet the causal variants and their mechanisms-of-action remain obscure. In an integrative study combining massively parallel ... -
The genetic architecture of human brainstem structures and their involvement in common brain disorders
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Brainstem regions support vital bodily functions, yet their genetic architectures and involvement in common brain disorders remain understudied. Here, using imaging-genetics data from a discovery sample of 27,034 individuals, ... -

Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Reduced glomerular filtration rate defines chronic kidney disease and is associated with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. We conducted a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular ... -
Genetic correlations and genome-wide associations of cortical structure in general population samples of 22,824 adults
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Cortical thickness, surface area and volumes vary with age and cognitive function, and in neurological and psychiatric diseases. Here we report heritability, genetic correlations and genome-wide associations of these ... -
Genetic inactivation of ANGPTL4 improves glucose homeostasis and is associated with reduced risk of diabetes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Angiopoietin-like 4 (ANGPTL4) is an endogenous inhibitor of lipoprotein lipase that modulates lipid levels, coronary atherosclerosis risk, and nutrient partitioning. We hypothesize that loss of ANGPTL4 function might improve ... -
Genetic predisposition to hypertension is associated with preeclampsia in European and Central Asian women
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Preeclampsia is a serious complication of pregnancy, affecting both maternal and fetal health. In genome-wide association meta-analysis of European and Central Asian mothers, we identify sequence variants that associate ... -
Genome-wide analysis yields new loci associating with aortic valve stenosis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is the most common valvular heart disease, and valve replacement is the only definitive treatment. Here we report a large genome-wide association (GWA) study of 2,457 Icelandic AS cases and 349,342 ... -
Genome-wide association analysis of self-reported daytime sleepiness identifies 42 loci that suggest biological subtypes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) affects 10–20% of the population and is associated with substantial functional deficits. Here, we identify 42 loci for self-reported daytime sleepiness in GWAS of 452,071 individuals from ... -
Genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies 29 new acne susceptibility loci
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Acne vulgaris is a highly heritable skin disorder that primarily impacts facial skin. Severely inflamed lesions may leave permanent scars that have been associated with long-term psychosocial consequences. Here, we perform ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies multiple risk loci for renal cell carcinoma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified six risk loci for renal cell carcinoma (RCC). We conducted a meta-analysis of two new scans of 5,198 cases and 7,331 controls together with four existing ... -
Genome-wide association study identifies multiple susceptibility loci for multiple myeloma
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Multiple myeloma (MM) is a plasma cell malignancy with a significant heritable basis. Genome-wide association studies have transformed our understanding of MM predisposition, but individual studies have had limited power ... -

Genome-wide meta-analysis of 241,258 adults accounting for smoking behaviour identifies novel loci for obesity traits
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Few genome-wide association studies (GWAS) account for environmental exposures, like smoking, potentially impacting the overall trait variance when investigating the genetic contribution to obesity-related traits. Here, ... -
Glia-neuron interactions underlie state transitions to generalized seizures
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Brain activity and connectivity alter drastically during epileptic seizures. The brain networks shift from a balanced resting state to a hyperactive and hypersynchronous state. It is, however, less clear which mechanisms ...
