Large-scale genome-wide analyses with proteomics integration reveal novel loci and biological insights into frailty
5 Aug 2025
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Frailty is a clinically relevant phenotype with notable gaps in our understanding of its etiology. Using the Hospital Frailty Risk Score (HFRS) to define frailty, we performed a genome-wide association study in FinnGen (N = 500,737), replicated the results in the UK Biobank (N = 407,463) and performed a meta-analysis. We prioritized genes through colocalization with expression, splicing and protein...
