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 ]]> Trans-ethnic association study of blood pressure determinants in over 750,000 individuals https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42468 Wed 24 Aug 2022 11:40:43 AEST ]]> 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 ]]> A Multi-Layer Functional Genomic Analysis to Understand Noncoding Genetic Variation in Lipids https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50411 Tue 25 Jul 2023 17:30:33 AEST ]]> The power of genetic diversity in genome-wide association studies of lipids https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48599 Tue 04 Apr 2023 19:22:25 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).
