Fig. 5. Genetic and phenotypic associations of the lipidome with coronary artery disease.

Fig. 5

Forest plots of lipid-coronary artery disease; circles represent effect sizes and horizontal bars represent ±standard errors. a Phenotypic associations (logistic regression; two-sided) between lipid species and incident coronary artery disease in the BHS cohort (551 cases and 3703 controls), adjusted for age, sex, and the first 10 genomic principal components. b Association of lipid species with polygenic risk for coronary artery disease. Individuals in the discovery cohort (n = 4492) were assessed for risk using the metaGRS polygenic score, consisting of ∼1.7 million genetic variants. Linear regressions (two-sided) were performed to test the association between an individual’s polygenic score and lipid species concentrations, adjusting for age, sex, and the 10 first principal components. c Genetic correlations of lipid species (n = 4492) against coronary artery disease (meta-analysis of CARDIoGRAMplusC4D and UK Biobank; 122,733 cases and 424,528 controls), performed with Linkage Disequilibrium Score Regression (LDSC; v1.0.1). Nominally significant and Benjamini–Hochberg corrected significance is indicated by light- and dark-grey circles, respectively. The 10 most significant lipid species are highlighted in blue, red, or green.
