A computational framework for defining and validating reproducible phenotyping algorithms of 313 diseases in the UK Biobank.
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-025-05838-9

Accurate and reproducible phenotyping is essential for large-scale biomedical research. However, developing robust phenotype definitions in biobanks is challenging due to diverse data sources and varying medical ontologies. As a result, the…

Genome-wide analysis identifies genetic effects on reproductive success and ongoing natural selection at the FADS locus
Nature human behaviour ·doi:10.1038/s41562-023-01528-6

Identifying genetic determinants of reproductive success may highlight mechanisms underlying fertility and identify alleles under present-day selection. Using data in 785,604 individuals of European ancestry, we identified 43 genomic loci a…

Lowering of Circulating Sclerostin May Increase Risk of Atherosclerosis and Its Risk Factors: Evidence From a Genome-Wide Association Meta-Analysis Followed by Mendelian Randomization.
Arthritis & rheumatology (Hoboken, N.J.) ·doi:10.1002/art.42538

ObjectiveIn this study, we aimed to establish the causal effects of lowering sclerostin, target of the antiosteoporosis drug romosozumab, on atherosclerosis and its risk factors.MethodsA genome-wide association study meta-analysis was perfo…

Fine-mapping of an expanded set of type 2 diabetes loci to single-variant resolution using high-density imputation and islet-specific epigenome maps
·doi:10.1101/245506

We aggregated genome-wide genotyping data from 32 European-descent GWAS (74,124 T2D cases, 824,006 controls) imputed to high-density reference panels of >30,000 sequenced haplotypes. Analysis of ˜27M variants (˜21M with minor allele frequen…

Protein-altering variants associated with body mass index implicate pathways that control energy intake and expenditure in obesity.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-017-0011-x

Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified >250 loci for body mass index (BMI), implicating pathways related to neuronal biology. Most GWAS loci represent clusters of common, noncoding variants from which pinpointing causal gene…

Genome-wide associations for birth weight and correlations with adult disease.
Nature ·doi:10.1038/nature19806

Birth weight (BW) has been shown to be influenced by both fetal and maternal factors and in observational studies is reproducibly associated with future risk of adult metabolic diseases including type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular dis…
