Proteome-wide Mendelian randomization implicates nephronectin as an actionable mediator of the effect of obesity on COVID-19 severity

Nature Metabolism, 2023
How obesity contributes to COVID-19 severity is not fully understood. In this study, Yoshiji et al. found that the plasma protein nephronectin partially mediates the effect of obesity on the risk of COVID-19 severity using a two-step Mendelian ...

IRF8 Drives Conventional Type 1 Dendritic Cell Differentiation and CD8+ T Cell Activation to Aggravate Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study highlights the critical role of IRF8 in the development of AAA. IRF8 activation promotes the differentiation of cDC1s, which in turn recruit and activate CD8+ T cells, contributing to aortic wall degradation. The study identifies the IRF8‐cDC1‐CD8+ T cell axis as a key pathway in AAA progression, offering new potential therapeutic targets to

HDL‐Apolipoprotein in Alzheimer's Disease Revisited: From Periphery to CNS

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
HDL‐apolipoproteins in the periphery and CNS contribute differently to Alzheimer's disease, influencing Aβ, p‐tau, brain structures, and cognition. Apolipoprotein AI and E, key HDL components in blood and CSF, may either protect against or accelerate AD, depending on their location. Created with BioGDP.com. ABSTRACT High‐density lipoprotein (HDL), as a

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.

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.

Genetic insights into resting heart rate and its role in cardiovascular disease

Nature Communications, 2023
Resting heart rate is associated with cardiovascular diseases and mortality in observational and Mendelian randomization studies. The aims of this study are to extend the number of resting heart rate associated genetic variants and to obtain further ...

Contextualizing selection bias in Mendelian randomization: how bad is it likely to be? [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Selection bias affects Mendelian randomization investigations when selection into the study sample depends on a collider between the genetic variant and confounders of the risk factor-outcome association. However, the relative importance of selection bias for Mendelian randomization compared to other potential biases is unclear.
