GRS of BP traits were associated with BI and SSBI (p = 0.0022), without indication of directional pleiotropy. Conclusion: In this multiethnic GWAS meta-analysis, including over 20,000 population-based participants, we identified genetic risk loci for BI requiring validation once additional large datasets become available. High BP, including genetically determined, was the most significant modifiable, causal risk factor for BI.]]> Wed 04 Aug 2021 10:54:18 AEST ]]> Multiethnic meta-analysis identifies ancestry-specific and cross-ancestry loci for pulmonary function https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35094 Thu 20 Jun 2019 15:56:20 AEST ]]> Genome-wide association analysis identifies six new loci associated with forced vital capacity https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21233 P < 5 × 10−8) with FVC in or near EFEMP1, BMP6, MIR129-2–HSD17B12, PRDM11, WWOX and KCNJ2. Two loci previously associated with spirometric measures (GSTCD and PTCH1) were related to FVC. Newly implicated regions were followed up in samples from African-American, Korean, Chinese and Hispanic individuals. We detected transcripts for all six newly implicated genes in human lung tissue. The new loci may inform mechanisms involved in lung development and the pathogenesis of restrictive lung disease.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:53:01 AEDT ]]>
