• Implicating genes, pleiotropy, and sexual dimorphism at blood lipid loci through multi-ancestry meta-analysis 

      Kanoni, Stavroula; Graham, Sarah E.; Wang, Yuxuan; Surakka, Ida; Ramdas, Shweta; ... more authors ( BioMed Central , 2022 , Article)
      Background: Genetic variants within nearly 1000 loci are known to contribute to modulation of blood lipid levels. However, the biological pathways underlying these associations are frequently unknown, limiting understanding ...
    • A multi-layer functional genomic analysis to understand noncoding genetic variation in lipids 

      Ramdas, Shweta; Judd, Jonathan; Graham, Sarah E.; Kanoni, Stavroula; Wang, Yuxuan; ... more authors ( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)
      A major challenge of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) is to translate phenotypic associations into biological insights. Here, we integrate a large GWAS on blood lipids involving 1.6 million individuals from five ...
    • The power of genetic diversity in genome-wide association studies of lipids 

      Graham, Sarah E.; Clarke, Shoa L.; Wu, Kuan Han H.; Kanoni, Stavroula; Zajac, Greg J.M.; ... more authors ( Nature Research , 2021 , Article)
      Increased blood lipid levels are heritable risk factors of cardiovascular disease with varied prevalence worldwide owing to different dietary patterns and medication use1. Despite advances in prevention and treatment, in ...
    • Rare coding variants in 35 genes associate with circulating lipid levels—A multi-ancestry analysis of 170,000 exomes 

      George, Hindy; Dornbos, Peter; Chaffin, Mark D.; Liu, Dajiang J.; Wang, Minxian; ... more authors ( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)
      Large-scale gene sequencing studies for complex traits have the potential to identify causal genes with therapeutic implications. We performed gene-based association testing of blood lipid levels with rare (minor allele ...
