    • Background & Aims: Excess liver iron content is common and is linked to the risk of hepatic and extrahepatic diseases. We aimed to identify genetic variants influencing liver iron content and use genetics to understand its link to other traits and diseases. Methods: First, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 8,289 individuals from UK Biobank, whose liver iron level had been quantified by magnetic resonance imaging, before validating our findings in an independent cohort (n = 1,513 from IMI DIRECT). Second, we used Mendelian randomisation to test the causal effects of 25 predominantly metabolic traits on liver iron content. Third, we tested phenome-wide associations between liver iron variants and 770 traits and disease outcomes. Results: We identified 3 independent genetic variants (rs1800562 [C282Y] and rs1799945 [H63D] in HFE and rs855791 [V736A] in TMPRSS6) associated with liver iron content that reached the GWAS significance threshold (p <5 × 10−8). The 2 HFE variants account for ∼85% of all cases of hereditary haemochromatosis. Mendelian randomisation analysis provided evidence that higher central obesity plays a causal role in increased liver iron content. Phenome-wide association analysis demonstrated shared aetiopathogenic mechanisms for elevated liver iron, high blood pressure, cirrhosis, malignancies, neuropsychiatric and rheumatological conditions, while also highlighting inverse associations with anaemias, lipidaemias and ischaemic heart disease. Conclusion: Our study provides genetic evidence that mechanisms underlying higher liver iron content are likely systemic rather than organ specific, that higher central obesity is causally associated with higher liver iron, and that liver iron shares common aetiology with multiple metabolic and non-metabolic diseases. Lay summary: Excess liver iron content is common and is associated with liver diseases and metabolic diseases including diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. We identified 3 genetic variants that are linked to an increased risk of developing higher liver iron content. We show that the same genetic variants are linked to higher risk of many diseases, but they may also be associated with some health advantages. Finally, we use genetic variants associated with waist-to-hip ratio as a tool to show that central obesity is causally associated with increased liver iron content.

  • A reference map of potential determinants for the human serum metabolome
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Nature. - : Nature Research. - 0028-0836 .- 1476-4687. ; 588:7836, s. 135-140
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The serum metabolome contains a plethora of biomarkers and causative agents of various diseases, some of which are endogenously produced and some that have been taken up from the environment1. The origins of specific compounds are known, including metabolites that are highly heritable2,3, or those that are influenced by the gut microbiome4, by lifestyle choices such as smoking5, or by diet6. However, the key determinants of most metabolites are still poorly understood. Here we measured the levels of 1,251 metabolites in serum samples from a unique and deeply phenotyped healthy human cohort of 491 individuals. We applied machine-learning algorithms to predict metabolite levels in held-out individuals on the basis of host genetics, gut microbiome, clinical parameters, diet, lifestyle and anthropometric measurements, and obtained statistically significant predictions for more than 76% of the profiled metabolites. Diet and microbiome had the strongest predictive power, and each explained hundreds of metabolites—in some cases, explaining more than 50% of the observed variance. We further validated microbiome-related predictions by showing a high replication rate in two geographically independent cohorts7,8 that were not available to us when we trained the algorithms. We used feature attribution analysis9 to reveal specific dietary and bacterial interactions. We further demonstrate that some of these interactions might be causal, as some metabolites that we predicted to be positively associated with bread were found to increase after a randomized clinical trial of bread intervention. Overall, our results reveal potential determinants of more than 800 metabolites, paving the way towards a mechanistic understanding of alterations in metabolites under different conditions and to designing interventions for manipulating the levels of circulating metabolites.

  • Imprinting disorders in children born after ART: a Nordic study from the CoNARTaS group
  • 2020
  • Ingår i: Human Reproduction. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0268-1161 .- 1460-2350. ; 35:5, s. 1178-1184
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • STUDY QUESTION: Is the risk of imprinting disorders increased in children conceived after ART? SUMMARY ANSWER: We found an adjusted odds ratio (AOR) of 2.84 [95% CI: 1.34-6.01] for Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome in ART children, while the risk of Prader-Willi syndrome, Silver-Russell syndrome or Angelman syndrome was not increased in children conceived after ART. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY: Earlier studies, most of them small, have suggested an association between ART and imprinting disorders. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION: This was a binational register-based cohort study. All children conceived by ART in Denmark (n = 45 393, born between 1994 and 2014) and in Finland (n = 29 244, born between 1990 and 2014) were identified. The full background populations born during the same time periods in the two countries were included as controls. Odds ratios of imprinting disorders in ART children compared with naturally conceived (NC) children were calculated. The median follow-up time was 8 years and 9 months for ART children and 11 years and 9 months for NC children. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS: From the national health registries in Denmark and Finland, we identified all children diagnosed with Prader-Willi syndrome (n = 143), Silver-Russell syndrome (n = 69), Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (n = 105) and Angelman syndrome (n = 72) born between 1994/1990 and 2014, respectively. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE: We identified a total of 388 children diagnosed with imprinting disorders; 16 of these were conceived after ART. The overall AOR for the four imprinting disorders in ART children compared with NC children was 1.35 [95% CI: 0.80-2.29], but since eight ART children were diagnosed with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome, the AOR for this specific imprinting disorder was 2.84 [95% CI: 1.34-6.01]. The absolute risk of Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome in children conceived after ART was still low: 10.7 out of 100 000 newborns. The risks of Prader-Willi syndrome, Silver-Russell syndrome and Angelman syndrome were not increased in children conceived after ART. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION: Imprinting disorders are rare events and our results are based on few ART children with imprinting disorders. The aetiology is complex and only partly clarified, and the clinical diagnoses are challenged by a broad phenotypic spectrum. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS: In the existing studies, results on the risk of imprinting disorders in children conceived after ART are ambiguous. This study adds that the risk of imprinting disorders in ART children is very small and perhaps restricted to Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome.

  • Risk of congenital malformations in live-born singletons conceived after intracytoplasmic sperm injection: a Nordic study from the CoNARTaS group
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: Fertility and Sterility. - 0015-0282 .- 1556-5653. ; 120:5, s. 1033-1041
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Objective: To investigate whether the risk of major congenital malformations is higher in live-born singletons conceived with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) compared with in vitro fertilization (IVF)?Design: Nordic register-based cohort study.Setting: Cross-linked data from Medical Birth Registers and National ART and Patient Registers in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Data were included from the year the first child conceived using ICSI was born: Sweden, 1992; Denmark, 1994; and Norway, 1996. Data were included until 2014 for Denmark and 2015 for Norway and Sweden. Patient(s): All live-born singletons conceived using fresh ICSI (n = 32,484); fresh IVF (n = 47,178); without medical assistance (n = 4,804,844); and cryo-ICSI (n = 7,200) during the study period. Intervention(s): Different in vitro conception methods, and cryopreservation of embryos.Main Outcome Measure(s): Risk of major congenital malformations on the basis of International Classification of Diseases codes. The European Concerted Action on Congenital Anomalies and Twins was used to differentiate between major and minor malformations. Result(s): Among singletons conceived using fresh ICSI, 6.0% had a major malformation, compared with 5.3% of children conceived using fresh IVF; 4.2% of children conceived without medical assistance; and 4.9% of children conceived using cryoICSI; adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.07 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.01-1.14) in ICSI vs. IVF; and AOR 1.28 (95% CI, 1.23- 1.35) in ICSI vs. no medical assistance; and AOR 1.11 (95% CI, 0.99-1.26) in ICSI fresh vs. cryo-ICSI. When malformations were grouped by different organ systems, children conceived using ICSI had a higher risk of respiratory and chromosomal malformations compared with children conceived using IVF, but there were very few cases in each group. When categorizing children conceived using ICSI according to treatment indication (male factor infertility only vs. other indications), we found a higher risk of hypospadias when ICSI was performed because of male factor infertility only (AOR 1.85 [95% CI 1.03-332]). The indications for ICSI changed over time, as male factor infertility did not remain the primary indication for ICSI throughout the study period.Conclusion(s): In this large cohort study, we found the risk of major malformations in live-born singletons to be slightly higher after fresh ICSI compared with fresh IVF. These findings should be considered when choosing the assisted reproductive technology method for couples without male factor infertility. (Fertil Sterile 2023;120:1033-41.
