Whole-Exome Imputation Within UK Biobank Powers Rare Coding Variant Association and Fine-Mapping Analyses

open access: yes, 2023
Exome association studies to date have generally been underpowered to systematically evaluate the phenotypic impact of very rare coding variants. We leveraged extensive haplotype sharing between 49,960 exome-sequenced UK Biobank participants and the ...

Genome-wide association study of depression phenotypes in UK Biobank identifies variants in excitatory synaptic pathways

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
The UK Biobank provides data for three depression-related phenotypes. Here, Howard et al. perform a genome-association study for broad depression, probable major depressive disorder (MDD) and hospital record-coded MDD in up to 322,580 UK Biobank ...

Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 and site‐specific cancers: A Mendelian randomization study

open access: yesCancer Medicine, 2020
Insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) is involved in several processes relevant to carcinogenesis. We used 416 single‐nucleotide polymorphisms robustly associated with serum IGF‐1 levels to assess the potential causal associations between this hormone and

Quantile Regression for biomarkers in the UK Biobank

open access: yes, 2023
Abstract Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for biomarkers important for clinical phenotypes can lead to clinically relevant discoveries. GWAS for quantitative traits are based on simplified regression models modeling the conditional mean of a phenotype as a linear function of genotype.

Familial Influences on Neuroticism and Education in the UK Biobank [PDF]

open access: yesBehavior Genetics, 2019
Abstract Genome-wide studies often exclude family members, even though they are a valuable source of information. We identified parent–offspring pairs, siblings and couples in the UK Biobank and implemented a family-based DNA-derived heritability method to capture additional genetic effects and multiple sources of environmental ...

Genetic risk, incident colorectal cancer, and the benefits of adhering to a healthy lifestyle: A prospective study using data from UK Biobank and FinnGen

open access: yesFrontiers in Oncology, 2022
BackgroundGenetic factors increase the individual risk of colorectal cancer (CRC); however, the extent to which a healthy lifestyle can offset increased genetic risk is unknown. This study investigated whether a healthy lifestyle is associated with lower

UK Biobank's cardiovascular magnetic resonance protocol [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2016
UK Biobank's ambitious aim is to perform cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in 100,000 people previously recruited into this prospective cohort study of half a million 40-69 year-olds.We describe the CMR protocol applied in UK Biobank's pilot phase, which will be extended into the main phase with three centres using the same equipment and ...
