A systematic analysis of the contribution of genetics to multimorbidity and comparisons with primary care dataResearch in context by Olivia Murrin, Ninon Mounier, Bethany Voller, Linus Tata, Carlos Gallego-Moll, Albert Roso-Llorach, Lucía A. Carrasco-Ribelles, Chris Fox, Louise M. Allan, Ruby M. Woodward, Xiaoran Liang, Jose M. Valderas, Sara M. Khalid, Frank Dudbridge, Sally E. Lamb, Mary Mancini, Leon Farmer, Kate Boddy, Jack Bowden, David Melzer, Timothy M. Frayling, Jane A.H. Masoli, Luke C. Pilling, Concepción Violán, João Delgado

“…Many across-domain pairs exhibited substantial shared genetics (e.g., iron deficiency anaemia and peripheral arterial disease: genetic correlation Rg = 0.45 [95% Confidence Intervals 0.27:0.64]). 33 pairs displayed negative genetic correlations, such as skin cancer and rheumatoid arthritis (Rg = −0.14 [−0.21:−0.06]), due to potential adverse drug effects. Discordance between genetic and primary care data was also observed, e.g., abdominal aortic aneurysm and bladder cancer co-occurred in primary care but were not genetically correlated (Odds-Ratio = 2.23 [2.09:2.37], Rg = 0.04 [−0.20:0.28]) and schizophrenia and fibromyalgia were less likely to co-occur together in primary care but were positively genetically correlated (OR = 0.84 [0.75:0.94], Rg = 0.20 [0.11:0.29]). …”
