dc.description.abstract |
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) is critical for normal development and metabolism. To better understand the genetic contribution to TSH levels, we conduct a GWAS meta-analysis at 22.4 million genetic markers in up to 119,715 individuals and identify 74 genome-wide significant loci for TSH, of which 28 are previously unreported. Functional experiments show that the thyroglobulin protein-altering variants P118L and G67S impact thyroglobulin secretion. Phenome-wide association analysis in the UK Biobank demonstrates the pleiotropic effects of TSH-associated variants and a polygenic score for higher TSH levels is associated with a reduced risk of thyroid cancer in the UK Biobank and three other independent studies. Two-sample Mendelian randomization using TSH index variants as instrumental variables suggests a protective effect of higher TSH levels (indicating lower thyroid function) on risk of thyroid cancer and goiter. Our findings highlight the pleiotropic effects of TSH-associated variants on thyroid function and growth of malignant and benign thyroid tumors. |

We acknowledge the University of Michigan Precision Health Initiative and Medical School Central Biorepository for providing biospecimen storage, management, processing, and distribution services, and the Center for Statistical Genetics in the Department of Biostatistics at the School of Public Health for genotype data curation, imputation, and management in support of this research (for MGI cohort). The biochemical work at the University of Michigan was done with funding from NIH R01 DK-40344. This research has been conducted using the UK Biobank Resource under application number 24460. The HUNT Study is a collaboration between the HUNT Research Centre (Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, NTNU, Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Nord-Trøndelag County Council, Central Norway Regional Health Authority, and the Norwegian Institute of Public Health. The genotyping in HUNT was financed by the National Institutes of Health; University of Michigan; the Research Council of Norway; the Liaison Committee for Education, Research and Innovation in Central Norway; and the Joint Research Committee between St Olav’s Hospital and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, NTNU. We thank Sean Caron for web development for data sharing. Support for this research was provided by NIH grant DK062370 (M.B.). Ohio State Cohort was supported by NIH P50CA168505 SPORE (M.D.R. and A.d.l.C.). Support for the HUNT and MGI analysis was additionally provided by R35HL135824 (C.J.W.) and R01HL109946 (C.J.W.). W.Z. was supported by the National Human Genome Research Institute of the National Institutes of Health under award number T32HG010464.
