Genetic drivers of protein changes over time: Findings, considerations, and approaches in TOPMed cohorts and UK Biobank

Madeline G Gillman, Han Chen, Annie Green Howard, Michael Mi, Zsu‐Zsu Chen, Clary B. Clish, Daniel E. Cruz, Peter Durda, Craig Johnson, Ani W Manichaikul, Suna Önengüt-Gümüşcü, Prashant Rao, Usman A. Tahir, Kent D. Taylor, Russell P. Tracy, , Laura M. Raffield

The paper identifies genetic drivers of protein change over time using longitudinal proteomics data from MESA, UK Biobank, and CARDIA, finding that baseline adjustment improves replication but may introduce biases.
