We analyze 30,000 child-mother-father trios from the Estonian Biobank and the Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort, focusing on height, body mass index, and childhood educational test scores. We find direct effects to be the largest contributor to trait variation, but combined, indirect parental and PofO effects are similarly substantial. We support our results by within-family genome-wide association testing and identify 276 independently associated DNA regions with a complex interplay between direct, indirect, and PofO effects.

Here, we derive how the genetic variance within a population is changed under the influence of indirect maternal, paternal and parent-of-origin effects under random mating. We also consider indirect effects of a sibling, in particular how the genetic variance is altered when looking at the phenotypic difference between two siblings. The calculations are then extended to include assortative mating (AM), which alters the variance by inducing increased homozygosity and correlations within and across loci. AM likely leads to covariance of parental genetic effects, a measure of the similarity of parents in the indirect effects they have on their children. We propose that this assortment for parental characteristics, where biological parents create similar environments for their children, can create shared parental effects across traits and the appearance of cross-trait AM. Our theory shows how the resemblance among relatives increases under both AM, indirect and parent-of-origin effects. When our model is used to predict correlations among relatives in human height, we find that explaining the patterns observed in real data requires both indirect genetic effects and assortative mating. The degree to which direct, indirect and epigenetic effects shape the phenotypic variance of complex traits remains an open question that requires large-scale family data to be resolved.","lang":"eng"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","oa":1,"OA_type":"hybrid","title":"A quantitative genetic model for indirect genetic effects and genomic imprinting under random and assortative mating","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","OA_place":"publisher","article_type":"original","acknowledgement":"We thank members of the Medical Genomics group at ISTA for their comments, which improved this manuscript.

Here, we develop a new algorithmic paradigm based on approximate message passing (genomic vector approximate message passing [gVAMP]) for identifying DNA sequence variants associated with complex traits and common diseases in large-scale whole-genome sequencing (WGS) data. We show that gVAMP accurately localizes associations to variants with the correct frequency and position in the DNA, outperforming existing fine-mapping methods in selecting the appropriate genetic variants within WGS data. We then apply gVAMP to jointly model the relationship of tens of millions of WGS variants with human height in hundreds of thousands of UK Biobank individuals. We identify 59 rare variants and gene burden scores alongside many hundreds of DNA regions containing common variant associations and show that understanding the genetic basis of complex traits will require the joint analysis of hundreds of millions of variables measured on millions of people. The polygenic risk scores obtained from gVAMP have high accuracy (including a prediction accuracy of ∼46% for human height) and outperform current methods for downstream tasks such as mixed linear model association testing across 13 UK Biobank traits. In conclusion, gVAMP offers a scalable foundation for a wider range of analyses in WGS data."}],"date_updated":"2026-04-28T12:08:37Z","DOAJ_listed":"1","type":"journal_article","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/","OA_type":"gold","user_id":"ba8df636-2132-11f1-aed0-ed93e2281fdd","title":"Joint modeling of whole-genome sequencing data for human height via approximate message passing","OA_place":"publisher","article_type":"original","has_accepted_license":"1","oa":1,"ddc":["000","570"],"publisher":"Elsevier","project":[{"_id":"059876FA-7A3F-11EA-A408-12923DDC885E","name":"Prix Lopez-Loretta 2019 - Marco Mondelli"},{"_id":"911e6d1f-16d5-11f0-9cad-c5c68c6a1cdf","grant_number":"101161364","name":"Inference in High Dimensions: Light-speed Algorithms and Information Limits"},{"_id":"9B8D11D6-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A","name":"Improving estimation and prediction of common complex disease risk","grant_number":"PCEGP3_181181"}],"article_number":"101162","year":"2026","date_published":"2026-02-18T00:00:00Z","article_processing_charge":"Yes","_id":"21488","author":[{"id":"0b77531d-dbcd-11ea-9d1d-a8eee0bf3830","full_name":"Depope, Al","last_name":"Depope","first_name":"Al"},{"last_name":"Bajzik","full_name":"Bajzik, Jakub","id":"b995e25b-8c4b-11ed-a6d8-f71b7bcd6122","first_name":"Jakub"},{"last_name":"Mondelli","full_name":"Mondelli, Marco","id":"27EB676C-8706-11E9-9510-7717E6697425","orcid":"0000-0002-3242-7020","first_name":"Marco"},{"full_name":"Robinson, Matthew Richard","id":"E5D42276-F5DA-11E9-8E24-6303E6697425","last_name":"Robinson","orcid":"0000-0001-8982-8813","first_name":"Matthew Richard"}]},{"intvolume":"       112","volume":112,"_id":"18754","external_id":{"pmid":["39706196"],"isi":["001412498600001"]},"issue":"1","isi":1,"author":[{"last_name":"Smith","full_name":"Smith, Hannah M.","first_name":"Hannah M."},{"first_name":"Hong Kiat","last_name":"Ng","full_name":"Ng, Hong Kiat"},{"first_name":"Joanna E.","full_name":"Moodie, Joanna E.","last_name":"Moodie"},{"first_name":"Danni A.","full_name":"Gadd, Danni A.","last_name":"Gadd"},{"full_name":"Mccartney, Daniel L.","last_name":"Mccartney","first_name":"Daniel L."},{"last_name":"Bernabeu","full_name":"Bernabeu, Elena","first_name":"Elena"},{"last_name":"Campbell","full_name":"Campbell, Archie","first_name":"Archie"},{"last_name":"Redmond","full_name":"Redmond, Paul","first_name":"Paul"},{"first_name":"Adele","full_name":"Taylor, Adele","last_name":"Taylor"},{"full_name":"Page, Danielle","last_name":"Page","first_name":"Danielle"},{"first_name":"Janie","full_name":"Corley, Janie","last_name":"Corley"},{"full_name":"Harris, Sarah E.","last_name":"Harris","first_name":"Sarah E."},{"first_name":"Darwin","last_name":"Tay","full_name":"Tay, Darwin"},{"first_name":"Ian J.","full_name":"Deary, Ian J.","last_name":"Deary"},{"first_name":"Kathryn L.","last_name":"Evans","full_name":"Evans, Kathryn L."},{"full_name":"Robinson, Matthew Richard","id":"E5D42276-F5DA-11E9-8E24-6303E6697425","last_name":"Robinson","orcid":"0000-0001-8982-8813","first_name":"Matthew Richard"},{"last_name":"Chambers","full_name":"Chambers, John C.","first_name":"John C."},{"first_name":"Marie","last_name":"Loh","full_name":"Loh, Marie"},{"first_name":"Simon R.","last_name":"Cox","full_name":"Cox, Simon R."},{"first_name":"Riccardo E.","last_name":"Marioni","full_name":"Marioni, Riccardo E."},{"first_name":"Robert F.","full_name":"Hillary, Robert F.","last_name":"Hillary"}],"publisher":"Elsevier","ddc":["570"],"year":"2025","date_published":"2025-01-02T00:00:00Z","pmid":1,"article_processing_charge":"No","page":"106-115","abstract":[{"text":"Exploring the molecular correlates of metabolic health measures may identify their shared and unique biological processes and pathways. Molecular proxies of these traits may also provide a more objective approach to their measurement. Here, DNA methylation (DNAm) data were used in epigenome-wide association studies (EWASs) and for training epigenetic scores (EpiScores) of six metabolic traits: body mass index (BMI), body fat percentage, waist-hip ratio, and blood-based measures of glucose, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and total cholesterol in >17,000 volunteers from the Generation Scotland (GS) cohort. We observed a maximum of 12,033 significant findings (p < 3.6 × 10−8) for BMI in a marginal linear regression EWAS. By contrast, a joint and conditional Bayesian penalized regression approach yielded 27 high-confidence associations with BMI. EpiScores trained in GS performed well in both Scottish and Singaporean test cohorts (Lothian Birth Cohort 1936 [LBC1936] and Health for Life in Singapore [HELIOS]). The EpiScores for BMI and total cholesterol performed best in HELIOS, explaining 20.8% and 7.1% of the variance in the measured traits, respectively. The corresponding results in LBC1936 were 14.4% and 3.2%, respectively. Differences were observed in HELIOS for body fat, where the EpiScore explained ∼9% of the variance in Chinese and Malay -subgroups but ∼3% in the Indian subgroup. The EpiScores also correlated with cognitive function in LBC1936 (standardized βrange: 0.08–0.12, false discovery rate p [pFDR] < 0.05). Accounting for the correlation structure across the methylome can vastly affect the number of lead findings in EWASs. The EpiScores of metabolic traits are broadly applicable across populations and can reflect differences in cognition.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1537-6605"],"issn":["0002-9297"]},"date_created":"2025-01-05T23:01:56Z","publication":"American Journal of Human Genetics","file_date_updated":"2025-01-08T09:26:42Z","date_updated":"2025-02-27T12:38:23Z","type":"journal_article","OA_place":"publisher","article_type":"original","OA_type":"hybrid","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","title":"DNA methylation-based predictors of metabolic traits in Scottish and Singaporean cohorts","has_accepted_license":"1","oa":1,"status":"public","citation":{"ieee":"H.

It is typically assessed via self-report, which is open to measurement error through recall bias. Instead, molecular data such as blood-based DNA methylation (DNAm) could be used to derive a more objective measure of alcohol consumption by incorporating information from cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sites known to be linked to the trait. Here, we explore the epigenetic architecture of self-reported weekly units of alcohol consumption in the Generation Scotland study. We first create a blood-based epigenetic score (EpiScore) of alcohol consumption using elastic net penalized linear regression. We explore the effect of pre-filtering for CpG features ahead of elastic net, as well as differential patterns by sex and by units consumed in the last week relative to an average week. The final EpiScore was trained on 16,717 individuals and tested in four external cohorts: the Lothian Birth Cohorts (LBC) of 1921 and 1936, the Sister Study, and the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (total N across studies > 10,000). The maximum Pearson correlation between the EpiScore and self-reported alcohol consumption within cohort ranged from 0.41 to 0.53. In LBC1936, higher EpiScore levels had significant associations with poorer global brain imaging metrics, whereas self-reported alcohol consumption did not. Finally, we identified two novel CpG loci via a Bayesian penalized regression epigenome-wide association study of alcohol consumption. Together, these findings show how DNAm can objectively characterize patterns of alcohol consumption that associate with brain health, unlike self-reported estimates.","lang":"eng"}],"date_created":"2025-02-16T23:02:33Z","publication":"Clinical Epigenetics","publication_identifier":{"issn":["1868-7075"],"eissn":["1868-7083"]},"file_date_updated":"2025-02-17T08:44:23Z","type":"journal_article","DOAJ_listed":"1","date_updated":"2025-09-30T10:31:08Z","month":"01","department":[{"_id":"MaRo"}],"publication_status":"published","doi":"10.1186/s13148-025-01818-y","day":"25","quality_controlled":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","status":"public","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"file":[{"content_type":"application/pdf","relation":"main_file","checksum":"c32511f2d09e6c164116793e784944b8","success":1,"access_level":"open_access","date_updated":"2025-02-17T08:44:23Z","file_size":1170930,"creator":"dernst","date_created":"2025-02-17T08:44:23Z","file_id":"19030","file_name":"2025_ClinicalEpigenetics_Bernabeu.pdf"}],"citation":{"ista":"Bernabeu E, Chybowska AD, Kresovich JK, Suderman M, Mccartney DL, Hillary RF, Corley J, Valdés-Hernández MDC, Maniega SM, Bastin ME, Wardlaw JM, Xu Z, Sandler DP, Campbell A, Harris SE, Mcintosh AM, Taylor JA, Yousefi P, Cox SR, Evans KL, Robinson MR, Vallejos CA, Marioni RE. 2025.

In principle, epigenetic information inherited independently of DNA sequence can also enable evolution, but whether this occurs in natural populations is unknown. Here we show that single-nucleotide and epigenetic gene body DNA methylation (gbM) polymorphisms explain comparable amounts of expression variance in <jats:italic>Arabidopsis thaliana</jats:italic> populations. We genetically demonstrate that gbM regulates transcription, and we identify and genetically validate many associations between gbM polymorphism and the variation of complex traits: fitness under heat and drought, flowering time and accumulation of diverse minerals. Epigenome-wide association studies pinpoint trait-relevant genes with greater precision than genetic association analyses, probably due to reduced linkage disequilibrium between gbM variants. Finally, we identify numerous associations between gbM epialleles and diverse environmental conditions in native habitats, suggesting that gbM facilitates adaptation. Overall, our results indicate that epigenetic methylation variation fundamentally shapes phenotypic diversity in a natural population."}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["2055-0278"]},"date_created":"2025-10-16T13:11:21Z","publication":"Nature Plants","PlanS_conform":"1","file_date_updated":"2025-10-23T11:13:58Z","date_updated":"2025-12-01T14:59:10Z","type":"journal_article","OA_place":"publisher","article_type":"original","OA_type":"hybrid","title":"Gene body methylation regulates gene expression and mediates phenotypic diversity in natural Arabidopsis populations","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa":1,"has_accepted_license":"1","status":"public","file":[{"access_level":"open_access","success":1,"content_type":"application/pdf","checksum":"6a3f6cffdc934b8a2015c3c247f5a92a","relation":"main_file","file_id":"20524","date_created":"2025-10-23T11:13:58Z","file_name":"2025_NaturePlants_Shahzad.pdf","date_updated":"2025-10-23T11:13:58Z","creator":"dernst","file_size":7746662}],"citation":{"short":"Z.

The relative stability of methylation profiles may enable better assessment of chronic exposures compared to single time-point protein measures. We present the first large-scale epigenetic study of the highly-abundant serum proteome measured via ultra-high throughput mass spectrometry in 14,671 samples from the Generation Scotland cohort. We further demonstrate the first large-scale comparison of protein EpiScores and their respective proteins as predictors of incident cardiovascular disease.\r\n\r\nResults: Marginal epigenome-wide association models, adjusting for age, sex, measurement batch, estimated white cell proportions, BMI, smoking and methylation principal components, reveal 15,855 significant CpG – protein associations across 125 of 133 proteins PBonferroni < 2.71 × 10-10. Bayesian epigenome-wide association studies of the same 133 proteins reveal 697 CpG-Protein associations (posterior inclusion probability > 0.95). 112 protein EpiScores correlate significantly with their respective protein in a holdout test-set. Of these, sixteen associate significantly with incident all-cause cardiovascular disease (Nevents=191) compared to one measured protein.\r\n\r\nConclusions: We highlight a complex interplay between the blood-based methylome and proteome. Importantly, we show that protein EpiScores correlate with measured proteins and demonstrate that the, as-yet understudied, high-abundance proteome may yield clinically relevant biomarkers. The protein EpiScores demonstrate more significant associations with cardiovascular disease than directly measured proteins, suggesting their potential as clinical biomarkers for monitoring or predicting disease risk. We suggest that biomarker development could be enhanced by the consideration of protein EpiScores alongside measured proteins."}],"DOAJ_listed":"1","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2025-12-15T13:19:41Z","file_date_updated":"2025-12-15T13:18:07Z","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","title":"Methylome-wide association studies and epigenetic biomarker development for 133 mass spectrometry-assessed circulating proteins in 14,671 Generation Scotland participants","OA_type":"gold","article_type":"original","OA_place":"publisher","oa":1,"has_accepted_license":"1"},{"scopus_import":"1","acknowledgement":"This work was supported by a Lopez-Loreta Prize to MM, an SNSF Eccellenza Grant to MRR (PCEGP3-181181), and core funding from ISTA.

To address this issue, our paper develops a new algorithmic paradigm based on Approximate Message Passing (AMP), which is specifically tailored for genomic prediction and association testing. Our method yields comparable out-of-sample prediction accuracy to the state of the art on UK Biobank traits, whilst dramatically improving computational complexity, with a 8x-speed up in the run time. In addition, AMP theory provides a joint association testing framework, which outperforms the currently used REGENIE method, in roughly a third of the compute time. This first, truly large-scale application of the AMP framework lays the foundations for a far wider range of statistical analyses for hundreds of millions of variables measured on millions of people."}],"publication_identifier":{"isbn":["9798350344851"],"issn":["1520-6149"]},"date_created":"2024-06-16T22:01:07Z","publication":"2024 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech, and Signal Processing","conference":{"location":"Seoul, Korea","end_date":"2024-04-19","name":"ICASSP: International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing","start_date":"2024-04-14"},"oa":1,"OA_place":"repository","OA_type":"green","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","title":"Inference of genetic effects via approximate message passing","year":"2024","publisher":"IEEE","project":[{"_id":"059876FA-7A3F-11EA-A408-12923DDC885E","name":"Prix Lopez-Loretta 2019 - Marco Mondelli"},{"_id":"9B8D11D6-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A","name":"Improving estimation and prediction of common complex disease risk","grant_number":"PCEGP3_181181"}],"article_processing_charge":"No","page":"13151-13155","date_published":"2024-04-19T00:00:00Z","isi":1,"author":[{"last_name":"Depope","full_name":"Depope, Al","id":"0b77531d-dbcd-11ea-9d1d-a8eee0bf3830","first_name":"Al"},{"last_name":"Mondelli","full_name":"Mondelli, Marco","id":"27EB676C-8706-11E9-9510-7717E6697425","orcid":"0000-0002-3242-7020","first_name":"Marco"},{"id":"E5D42276-F5DA-11E9-8E24-6303E6697425","full_name":"Robinson, Matthew Richard","last_name":"Robinson","first_name":"Matthew Richard","orcid":"0000-0001-8982-8813"}],"external_id":{"isi":["001396233806078"]},"_id":"17147"},{"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Preprint","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"MaRo"}],"doi":"10.1101/2023.12.06.570392","day":"10","related_material":{"record":[{"status":"public","id":"18642","relation":"dissertation_contains"}]},"corr_author":"1","month":"08","acknowledgement":"We thank Zoltan Kutalik and members of the Robinson group \r\nat ISTA for their comments, which improved this manuscript.

Currently, an overwhelming number of MR studies\r\npurport to show causal relationships among a wide range of risk factors and outcomes.\r\nHere, we show that selecting instrument variables from genome-wide association study\r\nestimates leads to high false discovery rates for many MR approaches, which can be\r\ngreatly reduced by employing a graphical inference approach which: (i) explicitly tests\r\ninstrumental variable assumptions; (ii) distinguishes direct from indirect factors in very\r\nhigh-dimensional data; (iii) discriminates pleiotropic from trait-specific markers, controlling for LD genome-wide; (iv) accommodates rare variants and binary outcomes in a\r\nprincipled way; and (v) identifies potential unobserved latent confounding.

The latter is typically defined by physiological biomarkers and risk of adverse health outcomes, including all-cause mortality. As cohort sample sizes increase, estimates of cAge and bAge become more precise. Here, we aim to develop accurate epigenetic predictors of cAge and bAge, whilst improving our understanding of their epigenomic architecture.\r\n\r\nMethods\r\nFirst, we perform large-scale (N = 18,413) epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of chronological age and all-cause mortality. Next, to create a cAge predictor, we use methylation data from 24,674 participants from the Generation Scotland study, the Lothian Birth Cohorts (LBC) of 1921 and 1936, and 8 other cohorts with publicly available data. In addition, we train a predictor of time to all-cause mortality as a proxy for bAge using the Generation Scotland cohort (1214 observed deaths). For this purpose, we use epigenetic surrogates (EpiScores) for 109 plasma proteins and the 8 component parts of GrimAge, one of the current best epigenetic predictors of survival. We test this bAge predictor in four external cohorts (LBC1921, LBC1936, the Framingham Heart Study and the Women’s Health Initiative study).\r\n\r\nResults\r\nThrough the inclusion of linear and non-linear age-CpG associations from the EWAS, feature pre-selection in advance of elastic net regression, and a leave-one-cohort-out (LOCO) cross-validation framework, we obtain cAge prediction with a median absolute error equal to 2.3 years. Our bAge predictor was found to slightly outperform GrimAge in terms of the strength of its association to survival (HRGrimAge = 1.47 [1.40, 1.54] with p = 1.08 × 10−52, and HRbAge = 1.52 [1.44, 1.59] with p = 2.20 × 10−60). Finally, we introduce MethylBrowsR, an online tool to visualise epigenome-wide CpG-age associations.\r\n\r\nConclusions\r\nThe integration of multiple large datasets, EpiScores, non-linear DNAm effects, and new approaches to feature selection has facilitated improvements to the blood-based epigenetic prediction of biological and chronological age.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1756-994X"]},"publication":"Genome Medicine","date_created":"2023-03-12T23:01:02Z","file_date_updated":"2023-03-14T10:29:47Z","date_updated":"2025-04-23T08:49:38Z","type":"journal_article","pmid":1,"date_published":"2023-02-28T00:00:00Z","article_processing_charge":"No","publisher":"Springer Nature","ddc":["570"],"article_number":"12","year":"2023","external_id":{"isi":["000940286600001"],"pmid":["36855161"]},"_id":"12719","isi":1,"author":[{"first_name":"Elena","last_name":"Bernabeu","full_name":"Bernabeu, Elena"},{"first_name":"Daniel L.","last_name":"Mccartney","full_name":"Mccartney, Daniel L."},{"last_name":"Gadd","full_name":"Gadd, Danni A.","first_name":"Danni A."},{"full_name":"Hillary, Robert F.","last_name":"Hillary","first_name":"Robert F."},{"first_name":"Ake T.","last_name":"Lu","full_name":"Lu, Ake T."},{"full_name":"Murphy, Lee","last_name":"Murphy","first_name":"Lee"},{"first_name":"Nicola","full_name":"Wrobel, Nicola","last_name":"Wrobel"},{"first_name":"Archie","full_name":"Campbell, Archie","last_name":"Campbell"},{"first_name":"Sarah E.","full_name":"Harris, Sarah E.","last_name":"Harris"},{"full_name":"Liewald, David","last_name":"Liewald","first_name":"David"},{"full_name":"Hayward, Caroline","last_name":"Hayward","first_name":"Caroline"},{"first_name":"Cathie","full_name":"Sudlow, Cathie","last_name":"Sudlow"},{"first_name":"Simon R.","last_name":"Cox","full_name":"Cox, Simon R."},{"first_name":"Kathryn L.","full_name":"Evans, Kathryn L.","last_name":"Evans"},{"first_name":"Steve","last_name":"Horvath","full_name":"Horvath, Steve"},{"first_name":"Andrew M.","full_name":"Mcintosh, Andrew M.","last_name":"Mcintosh"},{"orcid":"0000-0001-8982-8813","first_name":"Matthew Richard","full_name":"Robinson, Matthew Richard","id":"E5D42276-F5DA-11E9-8E24-6303E6697425","last_name":"Robinson"},{"last_name":"Vallejos","full_name":"Vallejos, Catalina A.","first_name":"Catalina A."},{"last_name":"Marioni","full_name":"Marioni, Riccardo E.","first_name":"Riccardo E."}],"intvolume":"        15","volume":15},{"file_date_updated":"2024-01-30T13:20:35Z","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2025-09-09T12:51:20Z","abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"There is currently little evidence that the genetic basis of human phenotype varies significantly across the lifespan. However, time-to-event phenotypes are understudied and can be thought of as reflecting an underlying hazard, which is unlikely to be constant through life when values take a broad range. Here, we find that 74% of 245 genome-wide significant genetic associations with age at natural menopause (ANM) in the UK Biobank show a form of age-specific effect. Nineteen of these replicated discoveries are identified only by our modeling framework, which determines the time dependency of DNA-variant age-at-onset associations without a significant multiple-testing burden. Across the range of early to late menopause, we find evidence for significantly different underlying biological pathways, changes in the signs of genetic correlations of ANM to health indicators and outcomes, and differences in inferred causal relationships. We find that DNA damage response processes only act to shape ovarian reserve and depletion for women of early ANM. Genetically mediated delays in ANM were associated with increased relative risk of breast cancer and leiomyoma at all ages and with high cholesterol and heart failure for late-ANM women. These findings suggest that a better understanding of the age dependency of genetic risk factor relationships among health indicators and outcomes is achievable through appropriate statistical modeling of large-scale biobank data."}],"publication":"American Journal of Human Genetics","date_created":"2023-09-03T22:01:15Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1537-6605"],"issn":["0002-9297"]},"oa":1,"has_accepted_license":"1","article_type":"original","title":"Genetic insights into the age-specific biological mechanisms governing human ovarian aging","user_id":"317138e5-6ab7-11ef-aa6d-ffef3953e345","scopus_import":"1","acknowledgement":"This project was funded by an SNSF Eccellenza grant to M.R.R.

Here, we apply our recently developed Bayesian grouped mixture of regressions model (GMRM) in the UK and Estonian Biobanks and obtain the highest genomic prediction accuracy reported to date across 21 heritable traits. When compared to other approaches, GMRM accuracy was greater than annotation prediction models run in the LDAK or LDPred-funct software by 15% (SE 7%) and 14% (SE 2%), respectively, and was 18% (SE 3%) greater than a baseline BayesR model without single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers grouped into minor allele frequency–linkage disequilibrium (MAF-LD) annotation categories. For height, the prediction accuracy R2 was 47% in a UK Biobank holdout sample, which was 76% of the estimated h2SNP. We then extend our GMRM prediction model to provide mixed-linear model association (MLMA) SNP marker estimates for genome-wide association (GWAS) discovery, which increased the independent loci detected to 16,162 in unrelated UK Biobank individuals, compared to 10,550 from BoltLMM and 10,095 from Regenie, a 62 and 65% increase, respectively. The average χ2 value of the leading markers increased by 15.24 (SE 0.41) for every 1% increase in prediction accuracy gained over a baseline BayesR model across the traits. Thus, we show that modeling genetic associations accounting for MAF and LD differences among SNP markers, and incorporating prior knowledge of genomic function, is important for both genomic prediction and discovery in large-scale individual-level studies."}],"date_created":"2022-08-07T22:01:56Z","publication":"Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1091-6490"]},"file_date_updated":"2022-08-08T07:31:19Z","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2025-06-12T06:22:37Z","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"research_data","id":"13064","status":"public"}]},"corr_author":"1","month":"07","department":[{"_id":"MaRo"}],"publication_status":"published","day":"29","doi":"10.1073/pnas.2121279119","quality_controlled":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","status":"public","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode"},"citation":{"ieee":"E.

In particular, through estimation of the liability-scale heritability (LSH), liability models facilitate an understanding and comparison of the relative importance of genetic and environmental risk factors that shape different clinically important disease outcomes. Increasingly, large-scale biobank studies that link genetic information to electronic health records, containing hundreds of disease diagnosis indicators that mostly occur infrequently within the sample, are becoming available. Here, we propose an extension of the existing liability-scale model theory suitable for estimating LSH in biobank studies of low-prevalence disease. In a simulation study, we find that our derived expression yields lower mean square error (MSE) and is less sensitive to prevalence misspecification as compared to previous transformations for diseases with  =< 2% population prevalence and LSH of =< 0.45, especially if the biobank sample prevalence is less than that of the wider population. Applying our expression to 13 diagnostic outcomes of  =< 3% prevalence in the UK Biobank study revealed important differences in LSH obtained from the different theoretical expressions that impact the conclusions made when comparing LSH across disease outcomes. This demonstrates the importance of careful consideration for estimation and prediction of low-prevalence disease outcomes and facilitates improved inference of the underlying genetic basis of  =< 2% population prevalence diseases, especially where biobank sample ascertainment results in a healthier sample population.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"The American Journal of Human Genetics","date_created":"2023-01-12T12:05:28Z","publication_identifier":{"issn":["0002-9297"]},"file_date_updated":"2023-01-24T09:23:01Z","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2025-06-11T13:55:19Z","month":"11","corr_author":"1","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"MaRo"}],"doi":"10.1016/j.ajhg.2022.09.011","day":"03","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"quality_controlled":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"status":"public","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode"},"citation":{"apa":"Ojavee, S.

To improve screening for high-risk pregnancies, we set out to identify patterns of maternal hematological changes associated with future pregnancy complications.\r\n\r\nMethods: Using mixed effects models, we established changes in 14 complete blood count (CBC) parameters for 1710 healthy pregnancies and compared them to measurements from 98 pregnancy-induced hypertension, 106 gestational diabetes and 339 postpartum hemorrhage cases.\r\n\r\nResults: Results show interindividual variations, but good individual repeatability in CBC values during physiological pregnancies, allowing the identification of specific alterations in women with obstetric complications. For example, in women with uncomplicated pregnancies, haemoglobin count decreases of 0.12 g/L (95% CI −0.16, −0.09) significantly per gestation week (p value <.001). Interestingly, this decrease is three times more pronounced in women who will develop pregnancy-induced hypertension, with an additional decrease of 0.39 g/L (95% CI −0.51, −0.26). We also confirm that obstetric complications and white CBC predict the likelihood of giving birth earlier during pregnancy.\r\n\r\nConclusion: We provide a comprehensive description of the associations between haematological changes through pregnancy and three major obstetric complications to support strategies for prevention, early-diagnosis and maternal care.","lang":"eng"}],"publication_identifier":{"issn":["0902-4441"],"eissn":["1600-0609"]},"publication":"European Journal of Haematology","date_created":"2023-01-16T09:50:58Z","quality_controlled":"1","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","month":"11","corr_author":"1","doi":"10.1111/ejh.13844","day":"01","publication_status":"published","department":[{"_id":"MaRo"}],"acknowledgement":"This project was funded by an SNSF Eccellenza Grant to MRR (PCEGP3-181181), and by core funding from the Institute of Science and Technology Austria.

Here, we apply our recently developed Bayesian grouped mixture of regressions model (GMRM) in the UK and Estonian Biobanks and obtain the highest genomic prediction accuracy reported to date across 21 heritable traits. When compared to other approaches, GMRM accuracy was greater than annotation prediction models run in the LDAK or LDPred-funct software by 15% (SE 7%) and 14% (SE 2%), respectively, and was 18% (SE 3%) greater than a baseline BayesR model without single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers grouped into minor allele frequency–linkage disequilibrium (MAF-LD) annotation categories. For height, the prediction accuracy R 2 was 47% in a UK Biobank holdout sample, which was 76% of the estimated h SNP 2 . We then extend our GMRM prediction model to provide mixed-linear model association (MLMA) SNP marker estimates for genome-wide association (GWAS) discovery, which increased the independent loci detected to 16,162 in unrelated UK Biobank individuals, compared to 10,550 from BoltLMM and 10,095 from Regenie, a 62 and 65% increase, respectively. The average χ2 value of the leading markers increased by 15.24 (SE 0.41) for every 1% increase in prediction accuracy gained over a baseline BayesR model across the traits. Thus, we show that modeling genetic associations accounting for MAF and LD differences among SNP markers, and incorporating prior knowledge of genomic function, is important for both genomic prediction and discovery in large-scale individual-level studies.","lang":"eng"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","article_processing_charge":"No","department":[{"_id":"MaRo"}],"day":"02","doi":"10.5061/DRYAD.GTHT76HMZ","related_material":{"record":[{"id":"11733","relation":"used_in_publication","status":"public"}]},"date_published":"2022-09-02T00:00:00Z","month":"09","corr_author":"1","year":"2022","ddc":["570"],"tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_0.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode","short":"CC0 (1.0)","name":"Creative Commons Public Domain Dedication (CC0 1.0)"},"citation":{"ista":"Orliac E, Trejo Banos D, Ojavee S, Läll K, Mägi R, Visscher P, Robinson MR. 2022.

Here, we develop a series of statistical analyses of repeated measures data to reveal the degree to which women differ in the course of pregnancy, predict the changes that occur, and determine the importance of these changes for post-partum hemorrhage (PPH) which is one of the leading causes of maternal mortality. We present a prospective cohort of 4082 births recorded at the University Hospital, Lausanne, Switzerland between 2009 and 2014 where full labour records could be obtained, along with complete blood count data taken at hospital admission. We find significant differences, at a [Formula: see text] level, among women in how blood count values change through pregnancy for mean corpuscular hemoglobin, mean corpuscular volume, mean platelet volume, platelet count and red cell distribution width. We find evidence that almost all complete blood count values show trimester-specific associations with PPH. For example, high platelet count (OR 1.20, 95% CI 1.01-1.53), high mean platelet volume (OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.04-2.08), and high erythrocyte levels (OR 1.36, 95% CI 1.01-1.57) in trimester 1 increased PPH, but high values in trimester 3 decreased PPH risk (OR 0.85, 0.79, 0.67 respectively). We show that differences among women in the course of blood cell counts throughout pregnancy have an important role in shaping pregnancy outcome and tracking blood count value changes through pregnancy improves identification of women at increased risk of postpartum hemorrhage. This study provides greater understanding of the complex changes in blood count values that occur through pregnancy and provides indicators to guide the stratification of patients into risk groups.","lang":"eng"}],"publication":"Scientific Reports","date_created":"2021-10-03T22:01:21Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2045-2322"]},"file_date_updated":"2021-10-05T14:56:48Z","type":"journal_article","date_updated":"2024-10-09T21:00:57Z","article_type":"original","title":"Postpartum hemorrhage risk is driven by changes in blood composition through pregnancy","user_id":"4359f0d1-fa6c-11eb-b949-802e58b17ae8","has_accepted_license":"1","oa":1,"status":"public","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","image":"/images/cc_by.png"},"citation":{"ama":"Robinson MR, Patxot M, Stojanov M, Blum S, Baud D.
