Conservation, acquisition, and functional impact of sex-biased gene expression in mammals

S Naqvi, AK Godfrey, JF Hughes, ML Goodheart… - Science, 2019 - science.org
INTRODUCTION Sex differences are widespread in humans and other mammals. For example,
the distribution of height or body size is shifted upwards in males relative to females, and …

Shared heritability of human face and brain shape

S Naqvi, Y Sleyp, H Hoskens, K Indencleef… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Evidence from model organisms and clinical genetics suggests coordination between the
developing brain and face, but the role of this link in common genetic variation remains …

Decoding the human face: progress and challenges in understanding the genetics of craniofacial morphology

S Naqvi, H Hoskens, F Wilke… - Annual review of …, 2022 - annualreviews.org
Variations in the form of the human face, which plays a role in our individual identities and
societal interactions, have fascinated scientists and artists alike. Here, we review our current …

Human–chimpanzee fused cells reveal cis-regulatory divergence underlying skeletal evolution

…, M Kinnebrew, W Gordon, D Sun, VK Bajpai, S Naqvi… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
Gene regulatory divergence is thought to play a central role in determining human-specific
traits. However, our ability to link divergent regulation to divergent phenotypes is limited. Here…

Systematic differences in discovery of genetic effects on gene expression and complex traits

H Mostafavi, JP Spence, S Naqvi, JK Pritchard - Nature Genetics, 2023 - nature.com
Most signals in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of complex traits implicate
noncoding genetic variants with putative gene regulatory effects. However, currently identified …

GWAS of three molecular traits highlights core genes and pathways alongside a highly polygenic background

N Sinnott-Armstrong, S Naqvi, M Rivas, JK Pritchard - Elife, 2021 - elifesciences.org
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been used to study the genetic basis of a
wide variety of complex diseases and other traits. We describe UK Biobank GWAS results for …

[HTML][HTML] Precise modulation of transcription factor levels identifies features underlying dosage sensitivity

S Naqvi, S Kim, H Hoskens, HS Matthews, RA Spritz… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
Transcriptional regulation exhibits extensive robustness, but human genetics indicates sensitivity
to transcription factor (TF) dosage. Reconciling such observations requires quantitative …

Limited overlap of eQTLs and GWAS hits due to systematic differences in discovery

H Mostafavi, JP Spence, S Naqvi, JK Pritchard - BioRxiv, 2022 - biorxiv.org
Most signals in genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of complex traits point to
noncoding genetic variants with putative gene regulatory effects. However, currently identified …

Insights into the genetic architecture of the human face

JD White, K Indencleef, S Naqvi, RJ Eller, H Hoskens… - Nature …, 2021 - nature.com
The human face is complex and multipartite, and characterization of its genetic architecture
remains challenging. Using a multivariate genome-wide association study meta-analysis of …

Systematic discovery and perturbation of regulatory genes in human T cells reveals the architecture of immune networks

JW Freimer, O Shaked, S Naqvi, N Sinnott-Armstrong… - Nature …, 2022 - nature.com
Gene regulatory networks ensure that important genes are expressed at precise levels. When
gene expression is sufficiently perturbed, it can lead to disease. To understand how gene …
