These changes are associated with runs of homozygosity (ROH), but not with common variant homozygosity, suggesting that genetic variants associated with inbreeding depression are predominantly rare. The effect on fertility is striking: FROH equivalent to the offspring of first cousins is associated with a 55% decrease [95% CI 44–66%] in the odds of having children. Finally, the effects of FROH are confirmed within full-sibling pairs, where the variation in FROH is independent of all environmental confounding.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 20:06:39 AEDT ]]> A Saturated Map of Common Genetic Variants Associated with Human Height https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50431 Tue 25 Jul 2023 19:01:27 AEST ]]> 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 ]]> A trans-ancestral meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies reveals loci associated with childhood obesity https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46943 METTL15). The variant was nominally associated with only the European subgroup analysis but had a consistent direction of effect in other ethnicities. We then utilized trans-ancestral Bayesian analysis to narrow down the location of the probable causal variant at each genome-wide significant signal. Of all the fine-mapped loci, we were able to narrow down the causative variant at four known loci to fewer than 10 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (FAIM2, GNPDA2, MC4R and SEC16B loci). In conclusion, an ethnically diverse setting has enabled us to both identify an additional pediatric obesity locus and further fine-map existing loci.]]> Fri 09 Dec 2022 14:01:32 AEDT ]]>
