Platelets play an essential role in hemostasis and thrombosis. We performed a genome-wide association study of platelet count in 12,491 participants of the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos by using a mixed-model method that accounts for admixture and family relationships. We discovered and replicated associations with five genes (ACTN1, ETV7, GABBR1-MOG, MEF2C, and ZBTB9-BAK1). Our strongest association was with Amerindian-specific variant rs117672662 (p value = 1.16 x 10 (28)) in ACTN1, a gene implicated in congenital macrothrombocytopenia. rs117672662 exhibited allelic differences in transcriptional activity and protein binding in hematopoietic cells. Our results underscore the value of diverse populations to extend insights into the allelic architecture of complex traits.

Plasma metabolites associated with cognitive function across race/ethnicities affirming the importance of healthy nutrition

Einat Granot-Hershkovitz, Shan He, Jan Bressler, Bing Yu, Wassim Tarraf, Casey M. Rebholz, Jianwen Cai, Queenie Chan, Tanya P. Garcia, Thomas Mosley, Bruce S. Kristal, Charles DeCarli, Myriam Fornage, Guo-Chong Chen, Qibin Qi, Robert Kaplan, Hector M. Gonzalez, Tamar Sofer

Summary: This study examined the replication and generalization of metabolites associated with global cognitive function across multiple race/ethnicities and explored the contribution of diet to these associations. The results consistently revealed six metabolites, including sugar-related ones, that were associated with lower global cognitive function. Mendelian Randomization (MR) analyses provided weak evidence for a potential causal effect of ribitol on cognitive function and bidirectional effects between cognitive performance and diet.

Statistical phasing of 150,119 sequenced genomes in the UK Biobank

Brian L. Browning, Sharon R. Browning

Summary: The first release of UK Biobank's whole-genome sequence data includes 150,119 genomes. An open-source pipeline for filtering, phasing, and indexing these genomes on the UK Biobank Research Analysis Platform is presented. The pipeline allows haplotype-based methods to be applied to the UK Biobank whole-genome sequence data. Marker filtering is done using BCFtools, genotype phasing is done using Beagle, and VCF indexing is done using Tabix. The pipeline successfully phased 406 million single-nucleotide variants on chromosomes 1-22 and X with a processing time maxing at 2.6 days. The phase accuracy was assessed and improvements were made by excluding trio parents and markers with nonmajor allele frequency < 0.1%.

An integrated multi-omics analysis of sleep-disordered breathing traits implicates P2XR4 purinergic signaling

Smith, Jianwen Cai, Martha Daviglus, Phyllis C. Zee, Robert Kaplan, Charles Kooperberg, Stephen S. Rich, Jerome Rotter, Sina A. Gharib, Susan Redline, Tamar Sofer

Summary: Sleep Disordered Breathing (SDB) is a common disease that increases the risk of cardiometabolic, cardiovascular, and cognitive diseases. However, the impact of SDB on the molecular environment is still poorly understood. This study investigates the association between SDB measures and gene expression using RNA-seq in multiple blood tissues. The findings suggest differential gene expression by blood cell type and provide potential markers for intervention development to alleviate the effects of SDB on the human molecular environment.

Life is pain: Fibromyalgia as a nexus of multiple liability distributions

Summary: Fibromyalgia is a complex disease with unknown causes, making diagnosis and treatment challenging. By analyzing healthcare-based data, it has been found that fibromyalgia is linked to various conditions such as back pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and anxiety. Genetic predispositions to psychiatric, pain sensitivity, and autoimmune conditions have been confirmed to be associated with fibromyalgia, though the associations may vary among different ethnic groups. Genome-wide association analysis did not identify any significant genetic loci for fibromyalgia, indicating the need for larger studies to identify specific genetic effects. Overall, fibromyalgia is likely a composite manifestation of various disease categories.

The study also revealed the involvement of lipid metabolism, inflammation, cellular senescence, and obesity in the pathobiology of CAS. Furthermore, it compared the genetic architecture of CAS with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases.

Polygenic risk scores and kidney traits in the Hispanic/Latino population: The Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos

Summary: Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) is used to evaluate kidney function and determine the presence of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Polygenic risk score (PRS) is a popular method that uses large genome-wide association studies (GWASs) to estimate disease risk. However, PRS calculations for Hispanic/Latino individuals rely on different ancestry GWASs due to limited availability of summary statistics. This study compared different PRS constructions for eGFR prediction in Hispanic/Latino individuals and found that all eGFR PRSs were highly associated with eGFR and significantly associated with lower risk of CKD, with the combined PRSs performing the best.

Summary: This study found that hypoxic and ventilatory burdens are associated with incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, while arousal burden is not. Ventilatory burden is a measure of the risk of obstructive sleep apnea, while hypoxic burden is minimally affected by adiposity measures.

Summary: Thinness and anorexia nervosa are characterized by persistent low weight, but they differ in terms of distorted perceptions of body and weight-loss behaviors. Genetic correlations suggest that thinness is negatively associated with psychiatric disorders, distinguishing it from anorexia nervosa.

Summary: This study conducted a large-scale analysis and identified eleven new risk loci for coronary artery calcification (CAC), a measure of subclinical atherosclerosis. These new loci are related to bone mineralization, phosphate catabolism, and hormone metabolic pathways. The findings contribute to a better understanding of the genetic architecture of CAC and provide potential targets for therapeutic interventions.

Summary: This study identifies new genetic variants associated with resting heart rate (RHR) and demonstrates that higher genetically predicted RHR is associated with a decreased risk of atrial fibrillation and ischemic stroke. Genome-wide analysis reveals multiple genetic variants in cardiomyocyte-related genes and provides insights into their electrocardiogram (ECG) signature. Mendelian randomization analyses indicate that higher genetically predicted RHR increases the risk of dilated cardiomyopathy, but reduces the risk of atrial fibrillation, ischemic stroke, and cardio-embolic stroke.

Summary: There is an increasing interest in exploring the health effects of exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) through the examination of the human metabolome. This systematic review identified consistent associations between PFAS exposure and metabolomic signatures based on 28 observational studies. The most common PFAS exposure evaluated was legacy long-chain PFAS, and the associations were found between PFAS and various metabolites including amino acids, fatty acids, glycerophospholipids, and bile acids. These findings suggest that PFAS can disrupt lipid and amino acid metabolism, potentially affecting energy and cell membrane function.
