Analysis of 15,588 mother-child pairs shows that the association is driven by fetal rather than maternal genotype. Functional experiments show that the lead SNP, rs7594852, alters the binding of the HIC1 transcriptional repressor. Genes at the locus include several interleukin 1 family members with roles in pro-inflammatory pathways that are central to the process of parturition. Further understanding of the underlying mechanisms will be of great public health importance, since giving birth either before or after the window of term gestation is associated with increased morbidity and mortality.]]> Thu 27 Oct 2022 15:06:39 AEDT ]]> Dairy intake and body composition and cardiometabolic traits among adults: mendelian randomization analysis of 182041 individuals from 18 studies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48483 LCT-13910 C/T, rs4988235) associated with dairy intake as an instrumental variable (IV). The causal effects of dairy intake on body composition and cardiometabolic traits (lipids, glycemic traits, and inflammatory factors) were quantified by IV estimators among 182041 participants from 18 studies. Results: Each 1 serving/day higher dairy intake was associated with higher lean mass [β (SE) = 0.117 kg (0.035); P = 0.001], higher hemoglobin A1c [0.009% (0.002); P < 0.001], lower LDL [-0.014 mmol/L (0.006); P = 0.013], total cholesterol (TC) [-0.012 mmol/L (0.005); P = 0.023], and non-HDL [-0.012 mmol/L (0.005); P = 0.028]. The LCT-13910 C/T CT + TT genotype was associated with 0.214 more dairy servings/day (SE = 0.047; P < 0.001), 0.284 cm higher waist circumference (SE = 0.118; P = 0.017), 0.112 kg higher lean mass (SE = 0.027; P = 3.8 x 10-5), 0.032 mmol/L lower LDL (SE = 0.009; P = 0.001), and 0.032 mmol/L lower TC (SE = 0.010; P = 0.001). Genetically higher dairy intake was associated with increased lean mass [0.523 kg per serving/day (0.170); P = 0.002] after correction for multiple testing (0.05/18). However, we find that genetically higher dairy intake was not associated with lipids and glycemic traits. Conclusions: The present study provides evidence to support a potential causal effect of higher dairy intake on increased lean mass among adults. Our findings suggest that the observational associations of dairy intake with lipids and glycemic traits may be the result of confounding.]]> Mon 20 Mar 2023 10:41:47 AEDT ]]> Polygenic prediction of educational attainment within and between families from genome-wide association analyses in 3 million individuals https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46970 Mon 12 Dec 2022 16:19:30 AEDT ]]> Trans-ancestral genome-wide association study of longitudinal pubertal height growth and shared heritability with adult health outcomes. https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54727 Mon 11 Mar 2024 14:11:41 AEDT ]]> Novel loci for childhood body mass index and shared heritability with adult cardiometabolic traits https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41815 Fri 12 Aug 2022 12:45:25 AEST ]]>
