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 102,084 migraine cases identifies 123 risk loci and subtype-specific risk alleles
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Migraine affects over a billion individuals worldwide but its genetic underpinning remains largely unknown. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study of 102,084 migraine cases and 771,257 controls and identified ... -
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 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 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 cardiac troponin i in the general population
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Circulating cardiac troponin proteins are associated with structural heart disease and predict incident cardiovascular disease in the general population. However, the genetic contribution to cardiac troponin I (cTnI) ... -
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 with 1,126,563 individuals identifies new risk loci for Alzheimer's disease
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease is a prevalent age-related polygenic disease that accounts for 50–70% of dementia cases. Currently, only a fraction of the genetic variants underlying Alzheimer’s disease have been identified. ... -
Genome-wide meta-analysis for Alzheimer’s disease cerebrospinal fluid biomarkers
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Amyloid-beta 42 (Aβ42) and phosphorylated tau (pTau) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) reflect core features of the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) more directly than clinical diagnosis. Initiated by the European ... -
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.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Genetic influences on psychiatric disorders transcend diagnostic boundaries, suggesting substantial pleiotropy of contributing loci. However, the nature and mechanisms of these pleiotropic effects remain unclear. We performed ... -
Geographic and socioeconomic inequities in cesarean delivery rates at the district level in Madhya Pradesh, India: A secondary analysis of the national family health survey-5
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background In India, caesarean delivery (CD) accounts for 17% of the births, of which 41% occur in private facilities. However, areas to CD in rural areas are limited, particularly for the poor populations. Little information ... -
Geriatric assessment with management for older patients with cancer receiving radiotherapy. Protocol of a Norwegian cluster-randomised controlled pilot study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)About 50% of patients with cancer are expected to need radiotherapy (RT), and the majority of these are older. To improve outcomes for older patients with cancer, geriatric assessment (GA) with management (GAM) is highly ... -
Germline pathogenic variants in patients with high-grade gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasms
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)High-grade gastroenteropancreatic (HG-GEP) neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) are highly aggressive cancers. The molecular etiology of these tumors remains unclear, and the prevalence of pathogenic germline variants in patients ... -
