These changes are associated with runs of homozygosity (ROH), but not with common variant homozygosity, suggesting that genetic variants associated with inbreeding depression are predominantly rare. The effect on fertility is striking: FROH equivalent to the offspring of first cousins is associated with a 55% decrease [95% CI 44–66%] in the odds of having children. Finally, the effects of FROH are confirmed within full-sibling pairs, where the variation in FROH is independent of all environmental confounding.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 20:06:39 AEDT ]]> Genetic analysis of over 1 million people identifies 535 new loci associated with blood pressure traits https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44073 Wed 22 Mar 2023 15:46:47 AEDT ]]> A Saturated Map of Common Genetic Variants Associated with Human Height https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50431 Tue 25 Jul 2023 19:01:27 AEST ]]> Study of 300,486 individuals identifies 148 independent genetic loci influencing general cognitive function https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41379 Tue 04 Apr 2023 19:08:51 AEST ]]> Protein-coding variants implicate novel genes related to lipid homeostasis contributing to body-fat distribution https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42033 Drosophila RNAi-knockdowns, we observed a significant increase in the total body triglyceride levels for two genes (DNAH10 and PLXND1).
