摘要: Fundus pictures of the eye allow for non-invasive inspection microvasculature system retina which is informative on cardiovascular health. Automated image processing enables extraction morphometric properties this as quantitative features that can be used modelling disease risks. Here we report results largest genome-wide association study (GWAS) retinal vessel tortuosity conducted to date using data from UK Biobank (N=63,899). We identified 87 loci associated with trait (85 are novel). The heritability was h2=0.23 (0.02). carried out a replication small independent population-based cohort, SKIPOGH (N=436). While power too replicate individual hits, effect size estimates correlated significantly between two studies (Pearson correlation r=0.55, p=4.6E-6). showed alleles point common genetic architecture CVD and related traits. Our shed new light genetics risk factors disease.
