  • Genome‐Wide Assessment of Shared Genetic Architecture Between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Cardiovascular Diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37947095

    ABSTRACT: Background Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have a 2‐ to 10‐fold increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the biological mechanisms and existence of causality underlying such associations remain to be investigated. We aimed to investigate the genetic associations and underlying mechanisms between RA and CVD by leveraging large‐scale genomic data and genetic cross‐trait analytic approaches. Methods and Results Within UK Biobank data, we examined the genetic correlation, shared genetics, and potential causality between RA (Ncases=6754, Ncontrols=452 384) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD, Ncases=44 238, Ncontrols=414 900) using linkage disequilibrium score regression, cross‐trait meta‐analysis, and Mendelian randomization. We observed significant

  • Dense genotyping of immune-related disease regions identifies 14 new susceptibility loci for juvenile idiopathic arthritis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 23603761

    ABSTRACT: Analysis of the ImmunoChip single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array in 2816 individuals, comprising the most common subtypes (oligoarticular and RF negative polyarticular) of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and 13056 controls strengthens the evidence for association to three known JIA-risk loci (HLA, PTPN22 and PTPN2) and has identified fourteen risk loci reaching genome-wide significance (p < 5 × 10-8) for the first time. Eleven additional novel regions showed suggestive evidence for association with JIA (p < 1 × 10-6). Dense-mapping of loci along with bioinformatic analysis has refined the association to one gene for eight regions, highlighting crucial pathways, including the IL-2 pathway, in JIA disease pathogenesis. The entire ImmunoChip loci, HLA region and the top 2

  • Fine-mapping, trans-ancestral, and genomic analyses identify causal variants, cells, genes, and drug targets for type 1 diabetes - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34127860

    ABSTRACT: We report the largest and most diverse genetic study of type 1 diabetes (T1D) to date (61,427 participants), yielding 78 genome-wide significant (P < 5 × 10-8) regions, including 36 novel. We define credible sets of T1D-associated variants and show they are enriched in immune cell-accessible chromatin, particularly CD4+ effector T cells. Using chromatin accessibility profiling of CD4+ T cells from 115 individuals, we map chromatin accessibility quantitative trait loci (caQTLs) and identify five regions where T1D risk variants colocalize with caQTLs. We highlight rs72928038 in BACH2 as a candidate causal T1D variant leading to decreased enhancer accessibility and BACH2 expression in T cells. Finally, we prioritize potential drug targets by integrating genetic evidence, functional
