    • Abundant Genetic Overlap between Blood Lipids and Immune-Mediated Diseases Indicates Shared Molecular Genetic Mechanisms 

      Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Desikan, Rahul S.; Wang, Yunpeng; Thompson, Wesley K.; Schork, Andrew J.; Zuber, Verena; Doncheva, Nadezhda T.; Ellinghaus, E.va; Mattingsdal, Morten; Franke, Andre; Lie, Benedicte. A.; Mills, Ian Geoffrey; Aukrust, Pål; McEvoy, Linda K.; Djurovic, Srdjan; Karlsen, Tom Hemming; Dale, Anders M. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-08)
      Epidemiological studies suggest a relationship between blood lipids and immune-mediated diseases, but the nature of these associations is not well understood. We used genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to investigate ...

    • Identification of shared genetic variants between schizophrenia and lung cancer 

      Zuber, Verena; Jönsson, Erik Gunnar; Frei, Oleksandr; Witoelar, Aree; Thompson, V K; Schork, Andrew J; Bettella, Francesco; Wang, Yunpeng; Djurovic, Srdjan; Smeland, Olav Bjerkehagen; Dieset, Ingrid; Fanous, Ayman H.; Desikan, Rahul S; Küry, Sébastien; Bezieau, Stephane; Dale, Anders M; Mills, Ian Geoffrey; Andreassen, Ole Andreas (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-12)
      Epidemiology studies suggest associations between schizophrenia and cancer. However, the underlying genetic mechanisms are not well understood, and difficult to identify from epidemiological data. We investigated if there ...

    • MicroRNAs enrichment in GWAS of complex human phenotypes 

      Goulart, Luiz Fernando De Souza; Bettella, Franscesco; Sønderby, Ida Elken; Schork, AJ; Thompson, Kurt Wesley; Mattingsdal, Morten; Steen, Vidar Martin; Zuber, Verena; Wang, Yunpeng; Dale, Anders; Andreassen, Ole Andreas; Djurovic, Srdjan (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04-16)
      Background: The genotype information carried by Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) seems to have the potential to explain more of the ‘missing heritability’ of complex human phenotypes, given improved statistical ...

    • The relationship between lipoprotein A and other lipids with prostate cancer risk: A multivariable Mendelian randomisation study 

      Ioannidou, Anna; Watts, Eleanor L.; Perez-Cornago, Aurora; Platz, Elizabeth A.; Mills, Ian; Key, Timothy J.; Travis, Ruth C.; Tsilidis, Konstantinos K.; Zuber, Verena (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Background Numerous epidemiological studies have investigated the role of blood lipids in prostate cancer (PCa) risk, though findings remain inconclusive to date. The ongoing research has mainly involved observational ...
