Abstract Background Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is a complex disorder with serious health consequences, while its etiology remains largely elusive. Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the genetic landscape of POTS using genomic approaches in a unique...

Actively Protective Combinatorial Analysis: a Scalable Novel Method for Detecting Variants that Contribute to Reduced Disease Prevalence in High-Risk Individuals Jason Sardell; Sayoni Das; Krystyna Taylor; Colin Stubberfield; Andy Malinowski; Mark Strivens; Steve Gardner We present a novel...

Abstract: Major depressive disorder (MDD) and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) frequently occur together; yet their causal relationship remains unclear. To investigate the potential genetic causal link between these conditions, we conducted a two-sample Mendelian...

Abstract: Principal component analysis (PCA) is widely used to control for population structure in genome-wide association studies (GWAS). Top principal components (PCs) typically reflect population structure, but challenges arise in deciding how many PCs are needed and ensuring that PCs do not...

Multi-ancestry GWAS of Long COVID identifies‬ ‭immune-related loci and etiological links to chronic fatigue‬ syndrome, fibromyalgia and depression‬ ‭ Abstract The etiology of Long COVID is poorly understood despite its estimated global burden of 65 million cases. There exists a paucity of...

Abstract The heterogeneity and complexity of symptom presentation, comorbidities and genetic factors pose challenges to the identification of biological mechanisms underlying complex diseases. Current approaches used to identify biological subtypes of major depressive disorder (MDD) mainly...

Bioinformatic analysis predicts the regulatory function of noncoding SNPs associated with Long COVID-19 syndrome Maiti, Amit K. Long or Post COVID-19 is a condition of collected symptoms persisted after recovery from COVID-19. Host genetic factors play a crucial role in developing Long...

Absence of Association between a Long COVID and Severe COVID-19 Risk Variant of FOXP4 and Lung Cancer Luo, Yu-Si; Zhang, Ke; Cheng, Zhong-Shan No abstract. Link | PDF (Frontiers in Genetics)

Abstract Raynaud’s phenomenon (RP) is a common vasospastic disorder that causes severe pain and ulcers, but despite its high reported heritability, no causal genes have been robustly identified. We conducted a genome-wide association study including 5,147 RP cases and 439,294 controls, based...

Genome-wide Association Study of Long COVID, Lammi, Ollila et al 2023 Abstract Infections can lead to persistent or long-term symptoms and diseases such as shingles after varicella zoster, cancers after human papillomavirus, or rheumatic fever after streptococcal infections(1,2). Similarly...

Post copied from the DecodeME thread: I agree the 85% response rate is fantastic - unheard of really. Decode ME is such a brilliant study. On a related note, I found the following UCSF and University of Cambridge study on MS, published yesterday, interesting: Scientists identify first genetic...

Comorbidity genetic risk and pathways impact SARS-CoV-2 infection outcomes Jaros, Rachel K.; Fadason, Tayaza; Cameron-Smith, David; Golovina, Evgeniia; O’Sullivan, Justin M. Understanding the genetic risk and mechanisms through which SARS-CoV-2 infection outcomes and comorbidities interact to...

Abstract Critical illness in COVID-19 is an extreme and clinically homogeneous disease phenotype that we have previously shown1 to be highly efficient for discovery of genetic associations2. Despite the advanced stage of illness at presentation, we have shown that host genetics in patients who...

Virtually all the statistical methods researchers commonly use to assess genetic correlations assume that mating is random. That is, they assume that potential mating partners decide who they will have children with based on a roll of the dice. In reality, many factors likely influence who mates...

A saturated map of common genetic variants associated with human height Loic Yengo and others (multiple) Abstract Common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are predicted to collectively explain 40–50% of phenotypic variation in human height, but identifying the specific variants and...

Previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of stroke — the second leading cause of death worldwide — were conducted predominantly in populations of European ancestry. Here, in cross-ancestry GWAS meta-analyses of 110,182 patients who have had a stroke (five ancestries, 33% non-European)...
