MR Pipeline of 5 Acetyl-amino Acids (1MB around ACY1 TSS) on 7 Metabolic Outcomes

28.04.2025

1 Methods 1.1 Study Overview We conducted a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the causal effect of acetyl-amino acid levels within a 1 Mb region surrounding the transcription start site (TSS) of the ACY1 gene on 7 metabolic ouctomes. Genetic instruments were derived from the METSIM cohort, while outcome summary statistic...

Mendelian randomization of N-Acetylglutamine (1MB around ACY1 TSS) and body mass index

08.04.2025

1 Methods 1.1 Study Overview We conducted a two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR) analysis to evaluate the causal effect of N-acetylguanine (NAG) levels, within a 1 Mb region surrounding the transcription start site (TSS) of the ACY1 gene, on body mass index (BMI). Genetic instruments for NAG were derived from the METSIM cohort, while BMI summar...

GenomicSEM for 40 Chemokines

03.02.2025

1 Summary The analysis uses Genomic Structural Equation Modeling (GenomicSEM) to run a multivariate GWAS of 40 chemokines. The value of GenomicSEM lies in its ability to enhance statistical power and uncover pleiotropic effects that may remain undetected in pairwise or univariate analyses. 2 Data 2.1 UK Biobank Pharma Proteomics Project (UKB-PPP)...

Simulated Marginal Structural Model (MSM) with Inverse Probability Weighting and Lagged Proteins for Longitudinal Protein Analysis of Incident T2D

28.01.2025

1 Marginal Structural Models (MSMs) MSMs estimate the causal effect of time-varying exposures (e.g., protein levels) on outcomes (e.g., T2D). Standard regression models can introduce bias due to: Time-varying confounding – Past protein levels influence future levels and T2D risk. MSMs can use Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW) to adjust for the...

xQTLbiolinks hack for PCSK9 and METSIM metabolites

17.01.2025

I partially hacked xQTLbiolinks—Jeremy’s suggestion for retrieving GTEx eQTLs and running eQTL-pQTL coloc—to run HyPrColoc on our cis-regions, linking PCSK9 pQTL and METSIM metQTL data. It’s a hack because xQTLbiolinks is designed for one GWAS trait (e.g., one pQTL) with one or more eQTLs, not multiple GWAS traits. While it correctly identi...
