Abstract: Twin studies suggest that shared genetics contributes to the comorbidity of asthma and obesity, but candidate-gene studies provide limited evidence of pleiotropy. We conducted genome-wide association analyses of asthma and body mass index (BMI) among… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/aje/kwx296
Abstract: In the context of genetics, pleiotropy refers to the phenomenon in which a single genetic locus affects more than 1 trait or disease. Genetic epidemiologic studies have identified loci associated with multiple phenotypes, and these… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s40246-024-00710-9
Abstract: Disease comorbidities and longer-term complications, arising from biologically related associations across phenotypes, can lead to increased risk of severe health outcomes. Given that many diseases exhibit sex-specific differences in their genetics, our objective was to… read more here.
