title = "Genome-wide association analysis reveals insights into the genetic architecture of right ventricular structure and function",
abstract = "Right ventricular (RV) structure and function influence the morbidity and mortality from coronary artery disease (CAD), dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), pulmonary hypertension and heart failure. Little is known about the genetic basis of RV measurements. Here we perform genome-wide association analyses of four clinically relevant RV phenotypes (RV end-diastolic volume, RV end-systolic volume, RV stroke volume, RV ejection fraction) from cardiovascular magnetic resonance images, using a state-of-the-art deep learning algorithm in 29,506 UK Biobank participants. We identify 25 unique loci associated with at least one RV phenotype at P < 2.27 ×10−8, 17 of which are validated in a combined meta-analysis (n = 41,830). Several candidate genes overlap with Mendelian cardiomyopathy genes and are involved in cardiac muscle contraction and cellular adhesion. The RV polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are associated with DCM and CAD. The findings substantially advance our understanding of the genetic underpinning of RV measurements.",

This work was part of the portfolio of translational research of the National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry (N.A., P.B.M. and S.E.P.). This project was enabled through access to the Medical Research Council eMedLab Medical Bioinformatics infrastructure, supported by the Medical Research Council (grant MR/L016311/1; S.E.P.). The UK Biobank was established by the Wellcome Trust medical charity, the Medical Research Council, the Department of Health, the Scottish Government and the Northwest Regional Development Agency. It has also received funding from the Welsh Assembly Government and the British Heart Foundation. MESA and the MESA SHARe projects are conducted and supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute in collaboration with MESA investigators.
