Causal and mediating effects of lipid and facial aging: association study integrating GWAS, eQTL, mQTL, and pQTL data

Lipids in Health and Disease
Background Increasing evidence suggests a potential causal association between lipid levels and facial aging. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between levels of specific lipids and facial aging via Mendelian randomization methods.

Leptin Aggravates Thoracic Aortic Dissection Through Impairment of Energy Metabolism in Nrip2+ Smooth Muscle Cells

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Epidemiological data confirm obesity elevates thoracic aortic dissection (TAD) risk. Patient analyses implicate hyperleptinemia, where leptin binding to vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) receptors triggers Socs3‐mediated suppression of Stat5a transcriptional activity.

Mendelian Randomization and Type 2 Diabetes [PDF]

Cardiovascular Drugs and Therapy, 2016
Type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is a common, complex disease that poses a substantial burden on individual and population health, but we have relatively limited understanding of its underlying pathophysiology. Observational studies have highlighted large numbers of risk factors for T2DM, some of which are modifiable through behavioural or pharmacological ...

Glucose‐Responsive PAGR1‐Regulated Skeletal Muscle Gene Program Controls Systemic Glucose Homeostasis and Hepatic Metabolism

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study reveals that PAXIP1‐associated glutamate‐rich protein 1 (PAGR1), a glucose‐responsive regulator in skeletal muscle, modulates systemic glucose homeostasis and hepatic metabolism. Muscle‐specific PAGR1 deletion enhances insulin signaling, promotes glucose transporter 4 (GLUT4) translocation, and protects against high‐fat‐diet‐induced insulin ...

Mendelian randomization analysis with survival outcomes

Genetic Epidemiology, 2020
AbstractMendelian randomization (MR) is an established approach for assessing the causal effects of heritable exposures on outcomes. Outcomes of interest often include binary clinical endpoints, but may also include censored survival times. We explore the implications of both the Cox proportional hazard model and the additive hazard model in the ...

Genetic Evidence Supporting a Role for Brain Region Volume and Functional Network Alterations in Major Depression

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Genome‐wide analyses indicate that reduced ventral diencephalon and thalamus volumes, along with decreased functional connectivity within the triple network (DMN/CEN/SN), are uniquely associated with the risk of major depression (MD) onset, compared to other similar severe psychiatric disorders.

Diagnostic Yield of Genome Sequencing Versus Exome Sequencing in Pediatric Patients With Rare Phenotypes: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rare diseases affect 6% of Western societies and are a leading cause of pediatric mortality. The popularization of Next Generation Sequencing technologies, especially exome sequencing (ES), revolutionized the diagnosis of children with rare disease. Still, most patients face extensive diagnostic odysseys and remain undiagnosed.

A Transcriptome‐Wide Mendelian Randomization Study in Isolated Human Immune Cells Highlights Risk Genes Involved in Viral Infections and Potential Drug Repurposing Opportunities for Schizophrenia

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Schizophrenia is a neurodevelopmental psychiatric disorder characterized by symptoms of psychosis, thought disorder, and flattened affect. Immune mechanisms are associated with schizophrenia, though the precise nature of this relationship (causal, correlated, consequential) and the mechanisms involved are not fully understood.

Mendelian randomization: A biologist's perspective

Journal of the Practice of Cardiovascular Sciences, 2016
Mendelian randomization (MR) is a statistical technique used by genetic epidemiologists to determine causal effects, i.e. whether a biomarker actually influences disease risk, is it just a statistical association. It uses common genetic polymorphisms with known biological effects (propensity to drink alcohol) or effects that mimic modifiable exposures (
