Genetic predisposition to metabolically unfavourable adiposity and prostate cancer risk: A Mendelian randomization analysis Open
Background The associations of adiposity with aggressive prostate cancer risk are unclear. Using two‐sample Mendelian randomization, we assessed the association of metabolically unfavourable adiposity (UFA), favourable adiposity (FA) and f…

Study of the associations between short telomeres, sex hormones and pulmonary fibrosis Open
Background Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is an incurable fibrotic lung disease with limited treatment options and a high mortality. Evidence is growing that short telomeres cause both heritable and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Based on s…

Estimation of Effect Heterogeneity in Rare Events Meta-Analysis Open
The paper outlines several approaches for dealing with meta-analyses of count outcome data. These counts are the accumulation of occurred events, and these events might be rare, so a special feature of the meta-analysis is dealing with low…

Estimating the Effect of Liver and Pancreas Volume and Fat Content on Risk of Diabetes: A Mendelian Randomization Study Open
OBJECTIVE Fat content and volume of liver and pancreas are associated with risk of diabetes in observational studies; whether these associations are causal is unknown. We conducted a Mendelian randomization (MR) study to examine causality …

Disease consequences of higher adiposity uncoupled from its adverse metabolic effects using Mendelian randomisation Open
Background: Some individuals living with obesity may be relatively metabolically healthy, whilst others suffer from multiple conditions that may be linked to adverse metabolic effects or other factors. The extent to which the adverse metab…

Using genetics to uncouple higher adiposity from its adverse metabolic effects and understand its role in metabolic and non-metabolic disease. Open
To understand the consequences of higher adiposity uncoupled from its adverse metabolic effects, we selected 37 diseases associated with obesity and genetic variants associated with different aspects of excess weight including metabolicall…

Higher adiposity and mental health: causal inference using Mendelian randomization Open
Higher adiposity is an established risk factor for psychiatric diseases including depression and anxiety. The associations between adiposity and depression may be explained by the metabolic consequences and/or by the psychosocial impact of…

Genetic Evidence for Different Adiposity Phenotypes and Their Opposing Influences on Ectopic Fat and Risk of Cardiometabolic Disease Open
To understand the causal role of adiposity and ectopic fat in type 2 diabetes and cardiometabolic diseases, we aimed to identify two clusters of adiposity genetic variants: one with “adverse” metabolic effects (UFA) and the other with, par…

Genetically defined favourable adiposity is not associated with a clinically meaningful difference in clinical course in people with type 2 diabetes but does associate with a favourable metabolic profile Open
Aims: Change in weight, HbA1c, lipids, blood pressure and cardiometabolic events over time is variable in individuals with type 2 diabetes. We hypothesised that people with a genetic predisposition to a more favourable adiposity distributi…
