Extensive simulations showed that in contrast to current estimates from GWAS summary statistics, the variance-component approach partitions heritability accurately under a wide range of complex-disease architectures. Across the 11 diseases DNaseI hypersensitivity sites (DHSs) from 217 cell types spanned 16% of imputed SNPs (and 24% of genotyped SNPs) but explained an average of 79% (SE = 8%) of h²g from imputed SNPs (5.1× enrichment; p = 3.7 × 10⁻¹⁷) and 38% (SE = 4%) of h²g from genotyped SNPs (1.6× enrichment, p = 1.0 × 10⁻⁴). Further enrichment was observed at enhancer DHSs and cell-type-specific DHSs. In contrast, coding variants, which span 1% of the genome, explained <10% of h²g despite having the highest enrichment. We replicated these findings but found no significant contribution from rare coding variants in independent schizophrenia cohorts genotyped on GWAS and exome chips. Our results highlight the value of analyzing components of heritability to unravel the functional architecture of common disease.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:12 AEDT ]]> Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21465 DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses. Independent of genes expressed in brain, associations were enriched among genes expressed in tissues that have important roles in immunity, providing support for the speculated link between the immune system and schizophrenia.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:31 AEDT ]]> LD score regression distinguishes confounding from polygenicity in genome-wide association studies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28311 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:06 AEDT ]]> Contrasting genetic architectures of schizophrenia and other complex diseases using fast variance-components analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23305 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:19 AEDT ]]> Partitioning heritability by functional annotation using genome-wide association summary statistics https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23306 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:19 AEDT ]]> The role of polygenic risk score gene-set analysis in the context of the omnigenic model of schizophrenia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42338 N = 29,125 cases and 34,836 controls), a robust polygenic signal was observed from gene sets based on TCF4, FMR1, upregulation from MIR137 and downregulation from CHD8. Additional analyses revealed a constant floor effect in the amount of variance explained, consistent with the omnigenic model. Thus, we report that putative core gene sets showed a significant effect above and beyond the floor effect that might be linked with the underlying omnigenic background. In addition, we demonstrate a method to quantify the contribution of specific gene sets within the omnigenic context.]]> Mon 22 Aug 2022 14:00:20 AEST ]]> Age at first birth in women is genetically associated with increased risk of schizophrenia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43035 Mon 12 Sep 2022 11:49:25 AEST ]]>
