    • Assessing the role of genome-wide DNA methylation between smoking and risk of lung cancer using repeated measurements: the HUNT Study 

      Sun, Yi-Qian; Richmond, Rebecca C.; Suderman, Matthew; Min, Josine L; Battram, Thomas; Flatberg, Arnar; Beisvag, Vidar; Nøst, Therese Haugdahl; Guida, Florence; Jiang, Lin; Wahl, Sissel Gyrid Freim; Langhammer, Arnulf; Skorpen, Frank; Walker, Rosie M; Bretherick, Andrew D; Zeng, Yanni; Chen, Yue; Johansson, Mattias; Sandanger, Torkjel M; Relton, Caroline L; Mai, Xiao-Mei (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Background: It is unclear if smoking-related DNA methylation represents a causal pathway between smoking and risk of lung cancer. We sought to identify novel smoking-related DNA methylation sites in blood, with repeated ...

    • The challenges of selective fertility and carryover effects in within-sibship analyses: the effect of assisted reproductive technology on perinatal mortality as an example 

      Westvik-Johari, Kjersti; Håberg, Siri Eldevik; Lawlor, Deborah A.; Romundstad, Liv Bente Bergem; Bergh, Christina; Wennerholm, Ulla-Britt; Gissler, Mika; Henningsen, Anna-Karina A.; Tiitinen, Aila; Pinborg, Anja; Opdahl, Signe (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Within-sibship analyses show lower perinatal mortality after assisted reproductive technology (ART) compared with natural conception (NC), a finding that appears biologically unlikely. We investigated whether ...

    • Educational attainment, health outcomes and mortality: a within-sibship Mendelian randomization study 

      Howe, Laurence J; Rasheed, Humaira; Jones, Paul Remy; Boomsma, Dorret I; Evans, David M; Giannelis, Alexandros; Hayward, Caroline; Hopper, John L; Hughes, Amanda; Lahtinen, Hannu; Li, Shuai; Lind, Penelope A; Martin, Nicholas G; Martikainen, Pekka; Medland, Sarah E; Morris, Tim T; Nivard, Michel G; Pingault, Jean-Baptiste; Silventoinen, Karri; Smith, Jennifer A; Willoughby, Emily A; Wilson, James F; Ahlskog, Rafael; Andreassen, Ole; Ask, Helga; Campbell, Archie; Cheesman, Rosa Catherine Gillespie; Cho, Yoonsu; Christensen, Kaare; Corfield, Elizabeth Claire; Dahm, Christina C.; Havdahl, Alexandra; Hill, William D; Kerr, Shona M; Nygaard, Marianne Rodriguez; Palviainen, Teemu; Pedersen, Nancy L; Plomin, Robert; Southey, Melissa C; Stoltenberg, Camilla; Åsvold, Bjørn Olav; Næss, Øyvind Erik; Davey Smith, George; Kaprio, Jaakko; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Davies, Neil Martin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)
      Background Previous Mendelian randomization (MR) studies using population samples (population MR) have provided evidence for beneficial effects of educational attainment on health outcomes in adulthood. However, estimates ...

    • The effect of smoking intensity on all-cause and cause-specific mortality-a Mendelian randomization analysis. 

      Vie, Gunnhild Åberge; Wootton, Robyn E; Bjørngaard, Johan Håkon; Åsvold, Bjørn Olav; Taylor, AE; Gabrielsen, Maiken Elvestad; Davey, George Smith; Romundstad, Pål Richard; Munafo, Marcus R (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background Smoking is an important cause of mortality and recent studies have suggested that even low-intensity smoking might be associated with increased mortality. Still, smoking is associated with lower socio-economic ...

    • Is disrupted sleep a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease? Evidence from a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis 

      Anderson, Emma L.; Richmond, Rebecca C.; Jones, Samuel E.; Hemani, Gibran; Wade, Kaitlin H; Dashti, Hassan S.; Lane, Jaqueline; Wang, Heming; Saxena, Richa; Brumpton, Ben Michael; Korologou-Linden, Roxanna; Nielsen, Jonas Bille; Åsvold, Bjørn Olav; Abecasis, Goncalo; Coulthard, Elizabeth; Kyle, Simon D.; Beaumont, Robin N.; Tyrell, Jessica; Frayling, Timothy M; Munafo, Marcus R; Wood, Andrew R; Ben-Shlomo, Yoav; Howe, Laura D; Lawlor, Deborah A.; Weedon, Michael N; Smith, George Davey (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)
      Background It is established that Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients experience sleep disruption. However, it remains unknown whether disruption in the quantity, quality or timing of sleep is a risk factor for the onset ...

    • Trans-ethnic Mendelian-randomization study reveals causal relationships between cardiometabolic factors and chronic kidney disease
