Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides, and total cholesterol are heritable, modifiable, risk factors for coronary artery disease. To identify new loci and refine known loci influencing these lipids, we examined 188,578 individuals using genome-wide and custom genotyping arrays. We identify and annotate 157 loci associated with lipid levels at P < 5×10−8, including 62 loci not previously associated with lipid levels in humans. Using dense genotyping in individuals of European, East Asian, South Asian, and African ancestry, we narrow association signals in 12 loci. We find that loci associated with blood lipids are often associated with cardiovascular and metabolic traits including coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, blood pressure, waist-hip ratio, and body mass index. Our results illustrate the value of genetic data from individuals of diverse ancestries and provide insights into biological mechanisms regulating blood lipids to guide future genetic, biological, and therapeutic research.
Supplemental Figure 1 Method: All MS runs were compared and clustered using standard artMS ( https://github.com/biodavidjm/artMS ) procedures on observed feature intensities computed by MaxQuant. Supplemental Figure 1 shows all Pearson's pairwise correlations between MS runs, and are clustered according to similar correlation patterns. Supplemental Figure 2 Method: See main text. Supplemental Figure 3 Method: PFAM domain enrichment analysis. The enrichment of individual PFAM domains (or PFAM clans) 1 was calculated with a hypergeometric test where success is defined as number of domains, and the number of trials is the number of individual preys pulled-down with each viral bait. The population values were the numbers of individual PFAM domains and clans in the human proteome.To make sure that the p-values that signify enrichment were meaningful, we only considered PFAM domains that have been pulled-down at least three times with any SARS-CoV-2 protein, and which occur in the human proteome at least five times. In SI Figure 3 we show PFAM domains/clans with the lowest p-value for a given viral bait protein.
