Journal ArticleDOI

Inherited causes of clonal haematopoiesis in 97,691 whole genomes.

Alexander G. Bick, +165 more
- 14 Oct 2020 - 
TL;DR: Analysis of high-coverage whole-genome sequences from 97,691 participants of diverse ancestries in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Trans-omics for Precision Medicine programme enables simultaneous identification of germline and somatic mutations that predispose individuals to clonal expansion of haematopoietic stem cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

The polygenic and monogenic basis of blood traits and diseases

Dragana Vuckovic, +113 more
- 03 Sep 2020 - 
TL;DR: The results show the power of large-scale blood cell trait GWAS to interrogate clinically meaningful variants across a wide allelic spectrum of human variation.

A catalog of genetic loci associated with kidney function from analyses of a million individuals

Matthias Wuttke, +327 more
TL;DR: Trans-ancestry meta-analysis of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from 1,046,070 individuals identifies 264 associated loci, providing a resource of molecular targets for translational research of chronic kidney disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trans-ethnic and Ancestry-Specific Blood-Cell Genetics in 746,667 Individuals from 5 Global Populations.

Ming-Huei Chen, +111 more
- 03 Sep 2020 - 
TL;DR: The clinical significance and predictive value of trans-ethnic variants in multiple populations are explored, genetic architecture and the effect of natural selection on these blood phenotypes between populations are compared and the value of a more global representation of populations in genetic studies is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Target genes, variants, tissues and transcriptional pathways influencing human serum urate levels

Adrienne Tin, +251 more
- 01 Oct 2019 - 
TL;DR: A trans-ancestry genome-wide association study of serum urate levels identifies 183 loci that improve the prediction of gout in an independent cohort of 334,880 individuals, and implicates the kidney and liver as key target organs and prioritize potential causal genes.
