Interactions with polygenic background impact quantitative traits in the UK Biobank

Lino A. F. Ferreira, Sile Hu, Robert W. Davies, Simon R. Myers

The paper identifies genetic interactions affecting quantitative traits in the UK Biobank by testing SNP interactions with polygenic scores, finding 144 independent interactions across 52 traits.

Phantom epistasis through the lens of genealogies

Anastasia Ignatieva, Lino A. F. Ferreira

The paper identifies and quantifies phantom epistasis using genealogical data to distinguish spurious SNP interactions from true biological effects.

Leveraging fine-scale population structure reveals conservation in genetic effect sizes between human populations across a range of human phenotypes

Sile Hu, Lino A. F. Ferreira, Sinan Shi, Garrett Hellenthal, Jonathan Marchini, Daniel John Lawson, Simon Robert Myers

The paper shows genetic effect sizes are similar across African and European populations for most traits, suggesting shared causal mutations and improving GWAS portability.
