Proteome-wide association studies identify biochemical modules associated with a wing-size phenotype in Drosophila melanogaster [PDF]
How genetic diversity generates complex phenotypes along a continuum remains a fundamental question of biology. Here—applying the emerging SWATH proteomics technology—the authors describe a proteome wide association study (PWAS) of Drosophila wing size ...

Brain proteome-wide association study implicates novel proteins in depression pathogenesis. [PDF]
Depression is a common condition, but current treatments are only effective in a subset of individuals. To identify new treatment targets, we integrated depression genome-wide association study (GWAS) results (N = 500,199) with human brain proteomes (N = 376) to perform a proteome-wide association study of depression followed by Mendelian randomization.

ICA1L Is Associated with Small Vessel Disease: A Proteome-Wide Association Study in Small Vessel Stroke and Intracerebral Haemorrhage. [PDF]
Small vessel strokes (SVS) and intracerebral haemorrhages (ICH) are acute outcomes of cerebral small vessel disease (SVD). Genetic studies combining both phenotypes have identified three loci associated with both traits. However, the genetic cis-regulation at the protein level associated with SVD has not been studied before.

Brain Proteome-Wide Association Study Identifies Candidate Genes that Regulate Protein Abundance Associated with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. [PDF]
Although previous genome-wide association studies (GWASs) on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have identified multiple risk loci, how these loci confer risk of PTSD remains unclear. Through the FUSION pipeline, we integrated two human brain proteome reference datasets (ROS/MAP and Banner) with the PTSD GWAS dataset, respectively, to conduct a ...

The genetic structure of pain in depression patients: A genome-wide association study and proteome-wide association study [PDF]
Comparing with the general population, the pain in depression patients has more complex biological mechanism. We aim to explore the etiological mechanism of pain in depression patients from the perspective of genetics.Utilizing the UK Biobank samples with self-reported depression status or PHQ score ≥10, we conducted genome-wide association studies ...

Omnibus proteome-wide association study identifies 43 risk genes for Alzheimer disease dementia. [PDF]
Transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) tools have been applied to conduct proteome-wide association studies (PWASs) by integrating proteomics data with genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data. The genetic effects of PWAS-identified significant genes are potentially mediated through genetically regulated protein abundance, thus informing ...

Proteome-wide association studies for blood lipids and comparison with transcriptome-wide association studies [PDF]
Summary: Blood lipid traits are treatable and heritable risk factors for heart disease, a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have discovered hundreds of variants associated with lipids in humans, most ...

Multivariate proteome-wide association study to identify causal proteins for Alzheimer disease. [PDF]
Alzheimer disease (AD) is a complex and progressive neurodegenerative disorder that accounts for the majority of individuals with dementia. Here, we aim to identify causal plasma proteins for AD, shedding light on the etiology of AD. We utilized the latest large-scale plasma proteomic data from the UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP) and AD ...
