    • Body fat distribution is a heritable trait and a well-established predictor of adverse metabolic outcomes, independent of overall adiposity. To increase our understanding of the genetic basis of body fat distribution and its molecular links to cardiometabolic traits, here we conduct genome-wide association meta-analyses of traits related to waist and hip circumferences in up to 224,459 individuals. We identify 49 loci (33 new) associated with waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for body mass index (BMI), and an additional 19 loci newly associated with related waist and hip circumference measures (P < 5 × 10(-8)). In total, 20 of the 49 waist-to-hip ratio adjusted for BMI loci show significant sexual dimorphism, 19 of which display a stronger effect in women. The identified loci were enriched for genes expressed in adipose tissue and for putative regulatory elements in adipocytes. Pathway analyses implicated adipogenesis, angiogenesis, transcriptional regulation and insulin resistance as processes affecting fat distribution, providing insight into potential pathophysiological mechanisms.

  • The ENIGMA Consortium : large-scale collaborative analyses of neuroimaging and genetic data
  • 2014
  • Ingår i: BRAIN IMAGING BEHAV. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1931-7557 .- 1931-7565. ; 8:2, s. 153-182

    • The Enhancing NeuroImaging Genetics through Meta-Analysis (ENIGMA) Consortium is a collaborative network of researchers working together on a range of large-scale studies that integrate data from 70 institutions worldwide. Organized into Working Groups that tackle questions in neuroscience, genetics, and medicine, ENIGMA studies have analyzed neuroimaging data from over 12,826 subjects. In addition, data from 12,171 individuals were provided by the CHARGE consortium for replication of findings, in a total of 24,997 subjects. By meta-analyzing results from many sites, ENIGMA has detected factors that affect the brain that no individual site could detect on its own, and that require larger numbers of subjects than any individual neuroimaging study has currently collected. ENIGMA's first project was a genome-wide association study identifying common variants in the genome associated with hippocampal volume or intracranial volume. Continuing work is exploring genetic associations with subcortical volumes (ENIGMA2) and white matter microstructure (ENIGMA-DTI). Working groups also focus on understanding how schizophrenia, bipolar illness, major depression and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affect the brain. We review the current progress of the ENIGMA Consortium, along with challenges and unexpected discoveries made on the way.

  • Time-resolved protein nanocrystallography using an X-ray free-electron laser
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: Optics Express. - 1094-4087. ; 20:3, s. 2706-2716
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • We demonstrate the use of an X-ray free electron laser synchronized with an optical pump laser to obtain X-ray diffraction snapshots from the photoactivated states of large membrane protein complexes in the form of nanocrystals flowing in a liquid jet. Light-induced changes of Photosystem I-Ferredoxin co-crystals were observed at time delays of 5 to 10 µs after excitation. The result correlates with the microsecond kinetics of electron transfer from Photosystem I to ferredoxin. The undocking process that follows the electron transfer leads to large rearrangements in the crystals that will terminally lead to the disintegration of the crystals. We describe the experimental setup and obtain the first time-resolved femtosecond serial X-ray crystallography results from an irreversible photo-chemical reaction at the Linac Coherent Light Source. This technique opens the door to time-resolved structural studies of reaction dynamics in biological systems.

  • The SOLUTIONS project : Challenges and responses for present and future emerging pollutants in land and water resources management
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Science of the Total Environment. - : Elsevier BV. - 0048-9697 .- 1879-1026. ; 503, s. 22-31

    • SOLUTIONS (2013 to 2018) is a European Union Seventh Framework Programme Project (EU-FP7). The project aims to deliver a conceptual framework to support the evidence-based development of environmental policies with regard to water quality. SOLUTIONS will develop the tools for the identification, prioritisation and assessment of those water contaminants that may pose a risk to ecosystems and human health. To this end, a new generation of chemical and effect-based monitoring tools is developed and integrated with a full set of exposure, effect and risk assessment models. SOLUTIONS attempts to address legacy, present and future contamination by integrating monitoring and modelling based approaches with scenarios on future developments in society, economy and technology and thus in contamination. The project follows a solutions-oriented approach by addressing major problems of water and chemicals management and by assessing abatement options. SOLUTIONS takes advantage of the access to the infrastructure necessary to investigate the large basins of the Danube and Rhine as well as relevant Mediterranean basins as case studies, and puts major efforts on stakeholder dialogue and support. Particularly, the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) Common Implementation Strategy (CIS) working groups, International River Commissions, and water works associations are directly supported. with consistent guidance for the early detection, identification, prioritisation, and abatement of chemicals in the water cycle. SOLUTIONS will give a specific emphasis on concepts and tools for the impact and risk assessment of complex mixtures of emerging pollutants, their metabolites and transformation products. Analytical and effect-based screening tools will be applied together with ecological assessment tools for the identification of toxicants and their impacts. The SOLUTIONS approach is expected to provide transparent and evidence-based candidates or River Basin Specific Pollutants in the case study basins and to assist future review of priority pollutants under the WFD as well as potential abatement options.

  • Common variation in PHACTR1 is associated with susceptibility to cervical artery dissection
  • 2015
  • Ingår i: Nature Genetics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1061-4036 .- 1546-1718. ; 47, s. 78-83
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Cervical artery dissection (CeAD), a mural hematoma in a carotid or vertebral artery, is a major cause of ischemic stroke in young adults although relatively uncommon in the general population (incidence of 2.6/100,000 per year)1. Minor cervical traumas, infection, migraine and hypertension are putative risk factors1–3, and inverse associations with obesity and hypercholesterolemia are described3,4. No confirmed genetic susceptibility factors have been identified using candidate gene approaches5. We performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) in 1 1,393 CeAD cases and 1 14,416 controls. The rs9349379[G] allele (PHACTR1) was associated with lower CeAD risk (odds ratio (OR) = 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.69–0.82; P = 4.46 × 1 10−10), with confirmation in independent follow-up samples (659 CeAD cases and 2,648 controls; P = 3.91 1 × 1 10−3; combined P = 1 1.00 × 1 10−1111). The rs9349379[G] allele was previously shown to be associated with lower risk of migraine and increased risk of myocardial infarction6–9. Deciphering the mechanisms underlying this pleiotropy might provide important information on the biological underpinnings of these disabling conditions.

  • CSF Aβ1-42 - an excellent but complicated Alzheimer's biomarker - a route to standardisation.
  • 2017
  • Ingår i: Clinica chimica acta; international journal of clinical chemistry. - : Elsevier BV. - 1873-3492. ; 467, s. 27-33
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The 42 amino acid form of amyloid β (Aβ1-42) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been widely accepted as a central biomarker for Alzheimer's disease. Several immunoassays for CSF Aβ1-42 are commercially available, but can suffer from between laboratory and batch-to-batch variability as well as lack of standardisation across assays. As a consequence, no general cut-off values have been established for a specific context of use (e.g., clinical diagnostics) and selection of individuals for enrolment in clinical trials (patient stratification) remains challenging. The International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) has initiated a working group for CSF proteins (WG-CSF) to facilitate standardisation of CSF Aβ1-42 measurement results. The efforts of the IFCC WG-CSF include the development of certified reference materials (CRMs) and reference measurement procedures (RMPs) for key biomarkers. Two candidate RMPs for quantification of Aβ1-42 in CSF based on liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry have been developed and tested in two ring trials. Furthermore, two commutability studies including native CSF pools, artificial CSF and spiked materials have been completed. On the basis of these studies, human CSF pools containing only endogenous Aβ1-42 at three concentrations were selected as the format for future CRMs that are now being processed.

  • Laboratory feeding experiments - investigating respiration rates of the benthic foraminifer Nonionella sp. T1
  • 2023
  • Ingår i: International Congress FORAMS2023, Perugia, Italy, 25-30th June 2023.
  • Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • Benthic foraminifera are important components of marine ecosystems, contributing to biogeochemical cycling and serving as indicators of environmental change. Their behaviour under different environmental conditions is of importance for the study of paleoclimate due to their extensive use as paleoproxies. Gaining knowledge of their role in energy and nutrient flows leads to a better understanding of ecosystem functioning. In this study we investigated respiration rates of the potentially invasive benthic foraminifer Nonionella sp. T1 originating from sediments within the Gullmar Fjord and cultivated in artificial sea water (ASW) in the laboratory at the University of Vienna. In order to assess the flux of organic carbon within an organism both oxygen respiration and carbon assimilation need to be considered. A non-invasive method was used to analyze oxygen respiration rates. The method involved placing an Oxygen Sensor Spot in a small, 2.5 ml airtight glass vial alongside the foraminifera. Oxygen concentrations under dark and light conditions were documented using an Oxygen Microsensor. We used a large number (n = 100 per sample, triplicates measured) of cleaned, living specimen. Respiration rates are given in nl O2/h calculated for biovolume (μm3) which was assessed for each individual using photo microscopy. For the purpose of quantifying CO2 production from foraminiferal respiration samples were additionally analysed via Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS) which detects trace metals and measures isotopic ratios from a gas phase. In order to more clearly trace the carbon signal from the foraminifera within this experimental setup they were fed with freeze-dried 13C-labelled diatoms (Phaeodactylum tricornutum) prior to the CO2 measurements. Our results from the Oxygen Microsensor show a consistent respiratory activity for Nonionella sp. T1 by a significant (r2 ≥ 0.98) linear decrease in oxygen content over time (~ 7 h). The oxygen respiration rates measured at 7.37 x 10-7 to 3.32 x 10-6 nl O2/μm3/h under dark conditions fall within the upper range of previously observed foraminiferal respiration rates. With most other studies using much less specimen for measurements due to their focus on the relation between respiration rates and individual biovolume a direct comparison is difficult. Further, first results from CRDS analysis show detectable amounts of CO2 release from foraminiferal respiration and more results are needed. Combining these findings our research contributes to a better understanding of the metabolic processes and the ecological role of the potentially invasive foraminifer Nonionella sp. T1. Quantifying respiration rates using significant sample sizes supports the continuous evaluation of the contribution of benthic foraminifera to O2 consumption and CO2 production within benthic communities.
