Large-scale genome-wide analyses with proteomics integration reveal novel loci and biological insights into frailty
2024-08-26
Abstract excerpt
Frailty is a clinically relevant phenotype with significant gaps in our understanding of its etiology. We performed a genome-wide association study of frailty in FinnGen (N=500,737) and replicated the signals in the UK Biobank (N=429,463) using polygenic risk scores (PRSs). We prioritized genes through proteomics integration (N∼45,000; UK Biobank) and colocalization of protein quantitative trait loci. Frailty was...
