Genetic associations with temporal shifts in obesity and severe obesity during the obesity epidemic in Norway: A longitudinal population-based cohort (the HUNT Study)
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Background Obesity has tripled worldwide since 1975 as environments are becoming more obesogenic. Our study investigates how changes in population weight and obesity over time are associated with genetic predisposition ... -
Genetic control of variability in subcortical and intracranial volumes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Sensitivity to external demands is essential for adaptation to dynamic environments, but comes at the cost of increased risk of adverse outcomes when facing poor environmental conditions. Here, we apply a novel methodology ... -
Genetic diversity of rotavirus strains circulating in Norway before and after the introduction of rotavirus vaccination in children
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Globally, rotavirus (RV) is the leading cause of acute gastroenteritis (AGE) in young children under 5 years of age. Implementation of RV vaccination is expected to result in fewer cases of RV in the target population, but ... -
Genetic epidemiology of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in Norway - a 2-year population based study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons. In Europe, disease-causing genetic variants have been identified in 40-70% of familial ALS patients and approximately ... -
Genetic insight into sick sinus syndrome
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021) -
Genetic polymorphisms associated with sleep-related phenotypes; relationships with individual nocturnal symptoms of insomnia in the HUNT study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background In recent years, several GWAS (genome wide association studies) of sleep-related traits have identified a number of SNPs (single nucleotides polymorphism) but their relationships with symptoms of insomnia are ... -
Genetic predisposition to PEG-asparaginase hypersensitivity in children treated according to NOPHO ALL2008
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018)Asparaginase is essential in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL) treatment, however hypersensitivity reactions to pegylated asparaginase (PEG-asparaginase) hampers anti-neoplastic efficacy. Patients with ... -
Genetic risk score associations for myocardial infarction are comparable in persons with and without rheumatoid arthritis: the population-based HUNT study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have increased risk of myocardial infarction (MI). Overlapping associations with MI of weighted genetic risk scores (wGRS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) and RA is unknown in a ... -
Genetic Susceptibility Loci in Genomewide Association Study of Cluster Headache
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective Identifying common genetic variants that confer genetic risk for cluster headache. Methods We conducted a case–control study in the Dutch Leiden University Cluster headache neuro-Analysis program (LUCA) study ... -
Genetic variants associated with cardiometabolic abnormalities during treatment with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors: a genome-wide association study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are prescribed both to patients with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Previous studies have shown associations between SSRI treatment and cardiometabolic alterations. The ... -
Genetically-controlled Vesicle-Associated Membrane Protein 1 expression may contribute to Alzheimer's pathophysiology and susceptibility
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)Background Alzheimer’s disease is a neurodegenerative disorder in which extracellular deposition of β-amyloid (Aβ) oligomers causes synaptic injury resulting in early memory loss, altered homeostasis, accumulation of ... -
Genome-wide analysis of 944 133 individuals provides insights into the etiology of haemorrhoidal disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Objective Haemorrhoidal disease (HEM) affects a large and silently suffering fraction of the population but its aetiology, including suspected genetic predisposition, is poorly understood. We report the first genome-wide ... -
Genome-wide association identifies the first risk loci for psychosis in Alzheimer disease
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Psychotic symptoms, defined as the occurrence of delusions or hallucinations, are frequent in Alzheimer disease (AD with psychosis, AD + P). AD + P affects ~50% of individuals with AD, identifies a subgroup with poor ... -
Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies New Genetic Determinants of Cardiorespiratory Fitness: The Trøndelag Health Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Purpose Low cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and a stronger predictor of CVD morbidity and mortality than established risk factors. The genetic component of CRF, ... -
Genome-wide association study of intracranial aneurysms identifies 17 risk loci and genetic overlap with clinical risk factors
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Rupture of an intracranial aneurysm leads to subarachnoid hemorrhage, a severe type of stroke. To discover new risk loci and the genetic architecture of intracranial aneurysms, we performed a cross-ancestry, genome-wide ... -
Genome-wide association study of placental weight identifies distinct and shared genetic influences between placental and fetal growth
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)A well-functioning placenta is essential for fetal and maternal health throughout pregnancy. Using placental weight as a proxy for placental growth, we report genome-wide association analyses in the fetal (n = 65,405), ... -
A genome-wide association study provides insights into the genetic etiology of 57 essential and non-essential trace elements in humans
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Trace elements are important for human health but may exert toxic or adverse effects. Mechanisms of uptake, distribution, metabolism, and excretion are partly under genetic control but have not yet been extensively mapped. ... -
Genome-wide meta-analysis identifies new loci and functional pathways influencing Alzheimer's disease risk
(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 ... -
Genome-wide meta-analysis of iron status biomarkers and the effect of iron on all-cause mortality in HUNT
(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 ... -
Genomic Relationships, Novel Loci, and Pleiotropic Mechanisms across Eight Psychiatric Disorders.
