Item A multiancestry genome-wide association study of unexplained chronic ALT elevation as a proxy for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease with histological and radiological validation(Springer Nature, 2022) Vujkovic, Marijana; Ramdas, Shweta; Lorenz, Kim M.; Guo, Xiuqing; Darlay, Rebecca; Cordell, Heather J.; He, Jing; Gindin, Yevgeniy; Chung, Chuhan; Myers, Robert P.; Schneider, Carolin V.; Park, Joseph; Lee, Kyung Min; Serper, Marina; Carr, Rotonya M.; Kaplan, David E.; Haas, Mary E.; MacLean, Matthew T.; Witschey, Walter R.; Zhu, Xiang; Tcheandjieu, Catherine; Kember, Rachel L.; Kranzler, Henry R.; Verma, Anurag; Giri, Ayush; Klarin, Derek M.; Sun, Yan V.; Huang, Jie; Huffman, Jennifer E.; Townsend Creasy, Kate; Hand, Nicholas J.; Liu, Ching-Ti; Long, Michelle T.; Yao, Jie; Budoff, Matthew; Tan, Jingyi; Li, Xiaohui; Lin, Henry J.; Chen, Yii-Der Ida; Taylor, Kent D.; Chang, Ruey-Kang; Krauss, Ronald M.; Vilarinho, Silvia; Brancale, Joseph; Nielsen, Jonas B.; Locke, Adam E.; Jones, Marcus B.; Verweij, Niek; Baras, Aris; Reddy, K.

Using a proxy NAFLD definition of chronic elevation of alanine aminotransferase (cALT) levels without other liver diseases, we performed a multiancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) in the Million Veteran Program (MVP) including 90,408 cALT cases and 128,187 controls. Seventy-seven loci exceeded genome-wide significance, including 25 without prior NAFLD or alanine aminotransferase associations, with one additional locus identified in European American-only and two in African American-only analyses (P < 5 × 10-8). External replication in histology-defined NAFLD cohorts (7,397 cases and 56,785 controls) or radiologic imaging cohorts (n = 44,289) replicated 17 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (P < 6.5 × 10-4), of which 9 were new (TRIB1, PPARG, MTTP, SERPINA1, FTO, IL1RN, COBLL1, APOH and IFI30). Pleiotropy analysis showed that 61 of 77 multiancestry and all 17 replicated SNPs were jointly associated with metabolic and/or inflammatory traits, revealing a complex model of genetic architecture. Our approach integrating cALT, histology and imaging reveals new insights into genetic liability to NAFLD.Item Genome-wide analysis identifies 12 loci influencing human reproductive behavior(Nature, 2016-10) Barban, Nicola; Jansen, Rick; de Vlaming, Ronald; Vaez, Ahmad; Mandemakers, Jornt J.; Tropf, Felix C.; Shen, Xia; Wilson, James F.; Chasman, Daniel I.; Nolte, Ilja M.; Tragante, Vinicius; van der Laan, Sander W.; Perry, John R.

Fairbanks School of Public HealthThe genetic architecture of human reproductive behavior—age at first birth (AFB) and number of children ever born (NEB)—has a strong relationship with fitness, human development, infertility and risk of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, very few genetic loci have been identified, and the underlying mechanisms of AFB and NEB are poorly understood. We report a large genome-wide association study of both sexes including 251,151 individuals for AFB and 343,072 individuals for NEB. We identified 12 independent loci that are significantly associated with AFB and/or NEB in a SNP-based genome-wide association study and 4 additional loci associated in a gene-based effort. These loci harbor genes that are likely to have a role, either directly or by affecting non-local gene expression, in human reproduction and infertility, thereby increasing understanding of these complex traits.Item Investigating Gene-Diet Interactions Impacting the Association Between Macronutrient Intake and Glycemic Traits(American Diabetes Association, 2023) Westerman, Kenneth E.; Walker, Maura E.; Gaynor, Sheila M.; Wessel, Jennifer; DiCorpo, Daniel; Ma, Jiantao; Alonso, Alvaro; Aslibekyan, Stella; Baldridge, Abigail S.; Bertoni, Alain G.; Biggs, Mary L.; Brody, Jennifer A.; Chen, Yii-Der Ida; Dupuis, Joseé; Goodarzi, Mark O.; Guo, Xiuqing; Hasbani, Natalie R.; Heath, Adam; Hidalgo, Bertha; Irvin, Marguerite R.; Johnson, W.

Fairbanks School of Public HealthFew studies have demonstrated reproducible gene-diet interactions (GDIs) impacting metabolic disease risk factors, likely due in part to measurement error in dietary intake estimation and insufficient capture of rare genetic variation. We aimed to identify GDIs across the genetic frequency spectrum impacting the macronutrient-glycemia relationship in genetically and culturally diverse cohorts. We analyzed 33,187 participants free of diabetes from 10 National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine program cohorts with whole-genome sequencing, self-reported diet, and glycemic trait data. We fit cohort-specific, multivariable-adjusted linear mixed models for the effect of diet, modeled as an isocaloric substitution of carbohydrate for fat, and its interactions with common and rare variants genome-wide. In main effect meta-analyses, participants consuming more carbohydrate had modestly lower glycemic trait values (e.g., for glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c], -0.013% HbA1c/250 kcal substitution). In GDI meta-analyses, a common African ancestry-enriched variant (rs79762542) reached study-wide significance and replicated in the UK Biobank cohort, indicating a negative carbohydrate-HbA1c association among major allele homozygotes only. Simulations revealed that >150,000 samples may be necessary to identify similar macronutrient GDIs under realistic assumptions about effect size and measurement error. These results generate hypotheses for further exploration of modifiable metabolic disease risk in additional cohorts with African ancestry. Article highlights: We aimed to identify genetic modifiers of the dietary macronutrient-glycemia relationship using whole-genome sequence data from 10 Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine program cohorts. Substitution models indicated a modest reduction in glycemia associated with an increase in dietary carbohydrate at the expense of fat. Genome-wide interaction analysis identified one African ancestry-enriched variant near the FRAS1 gene that may interact with macronutrient intake to influence hemoglobin A1c. Simulation-based power calculations accounting for measurement error suggested that substantially larger sample sizes may be necessary to discover further gene-macronutrient interactions.Item Large-scale genomic analyses link reproductive ageing to hypothalamic signaling, breast cancer susceptibility and BRCA1-mediated DNA repair(SpringerNature, 2015-11) Day, Felix R.; Ruth, Katherine S.; Thompson, Deborah J.; Lunetta, Kathryn L.; Pervjakova, Natalia; Chasman, Daniel I.; Stolk, Lisette; Finucane, Hilary K.; Sulem, Patrick; Bulik-Sullivan, Brendan; Esko, Tõnu; Johnson, Andrew D.; Elks, Cathy E.; Franceschini, Nora; He, Chunyan; Altmaier, Elisabeth; Brody, Jennifer A.; Franke, Lude L.; Huffman, Jennifer E.; Keller, Margaux F.; McArdle, Patrick F.; Nutile, Teresa; Porcu, Eleonora; Robino, Antonietta; Rose, Lynda M.; Schick, Ursula M.; Smith, Jennifer A.; Teumer, Alexander; Traglia, Michela; Vuckovic, Dragana; Yao, Jie; Zhao, Wei; Albrecht, Eva; Amin, Najaf; Corre, Tanguy; Hottenga, Jouke-Jan; Mangino, Massimo; Smith, Albert V.; Tanaka, Toshiko; Abecasis, Goncalo; Andrulis, Irene L.; Anton-Culver, Hoda; Antoniou, Antonis C.; Arndt, Volker; Arnold, Alice M.; Barbieri, Caterina; Beckmann, Matthias W.; Beeghly-Fadiel, Alicia; Benitez, Javier; Bernstein, Leslie; Bielinski, Suzette J.; Blomqvist, Carl; Boerwinkle, Eric; Bogdanova, Natalia V.; Bojesen, Stig E.; Bolla, Manjeet K.; Borresen-Dale, Anne-Lise; Boutin, Thibaud S.; Brauch, Hiltrud; Brenner, Hermann; Brüning, Thomas; Burwinkel, Barbara; Campbell, Archie; Campbell, Harry; Chanock, Stephen J.; Chapman, J.

Fairbanks School of Public HealthMenopause timing has a substantial impact on infertility and risk of disease, including breast cancer, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. We report a dual strategy in ∼70,000 women to identify common and low-frequency protein-coding variation associated with age at natural menopause (ANM). We identified 44 regions with common variants, including two regions harboring additional rare missense alleles of large effect. We found enrichment of signals in or near genes involved in delayed puberty, highlighting the first molecular links between the onset and end of reproductive lifespan. Pathway analyses identified major association with DNA damage response (DDR) genes, including the first common coding variant in BRCA1 associated with any complex trait. Mendelian randomization analyses supported a causal effect of later ANM on breast cancer risk (∼6% increase in risk per year; P = 3 × 10(-14)), likely mediated by prolonged sex hormone exposure rather than DDR mechanisms.Item Whole Genome Sequence Association Analysis of Fasting Glucose and Fasting Insulin Levels in Diverse Cohorts from the NHLBI TOPMed Program(Springer Nature, 2022-07-28) DiCorpo, Daniel; Gaynor, Sheila M.; Russell, Emily M.; Westerman, Kenneth E.; Raffield, Laura M.; Majarian, Timothy D.; Wu, Peitao; Sarnowski, Chloé; Highland, Heather M.; Jackson, Anne; Hasbani, Natalie R.; de Vries, Paul S.; Brody, Jennifer A.; Hidalgo, Bertha; Guo, Xiuqing; Perry, James A.; O’Connell, Jeffrey R.; Lent, Samantha; Montasser, May E.; Cade, Brian E.; Jain, Deepti; Wang, Heming; D’Oliveira Albanus, Ricardo; Varshney, Arushi; Yanek, Lisa R.; Lange, Leslie; Palmer, Nicholette D.; Almeida, Marcio; Peralta, Juan M.; Aslibekyan, Stella; Baldridge, Abigail S.; Bertoni, Alain G.; Bielak, Lawrence F.; Chen, Chung-Shiuan; Chen, Yii-Der Ida; Choi, Won Jung; Goodarzi, Mark O.; Floyd, James S.; Irvin, Marguerite R.; Kalyani, Rita R.; Kelly, Tanika N.; Lee, Seonwook; Liu, Ching-Ti; Loesch, Douglas; Manson, JoAnn E.; Minster, Ryan L.; Naseri, Take; Pankow, James S.; Rasmussen-Torvik, Laura J.; Reiner, Alexander P.; Reupena, Muagututi’a Sefuiva; Selvin, Elizabeth; Smith, Jennifer A.; Weeks, Daniel E.; Xu, Huichun; Yao, Jie; Zhao, Wei; Parker, Stephen; Alonso, Alvaro; Arnett, Donna K.; Blangero, John; Boerwinkle, Eric; Correa, Adolfo; Cupples, L.

We extended this work with high-coverage whole genome sequencing analyses from fifteen cohorts in NHLBI's Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) program. Over 23,000 non-diabetic individuals from five race-ethnicities/populations (African, Asian, European, Hispanic and Samoan) were included. Eight variants were significantly associated with FG or FI across previously identified regions MTNR1B, G6PC2, GCK, GCKR and FOXA2. We additionally characterize suggestive associations with FG or FI near previously identified SLC30A8, TCF7L2, and ADCY5 regions as well as APOB, PTPRT, and ROBO1. Functional annotation resources including the Diabetes Epigenome Atlas were compiled for each signal (chromatin states, annotation principal components, and others) to elucidate variant-to-function hypotheses. We provide a catalog of nucleotide-resolution genomic variation spanning intergenic and intronic regions creating a foundation for future sequencing-based investigations of glycemic traits.
