  • Large scale genome-wide association study in a Japanese population identifies novel susceptibility loci across different diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32514122

    ABSTRACT: The overwhelming majority of participants in current genetic studies are of European ancestry. To elucidate disease biology in the East Asian population, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 212,453 Japanese individuals across 42 diseases. We detected 320 independent signals in 276 loci for 27 diseases, with 25 novel loci (P < 9.58 x 10−9). East Asian-specific missense variants were identified as candidate causal variants for three novel loci, and we successfully replicated two of them by analyzing independent Japanese cohorts; p.R220W of ATG16L2 associated with coronary artery disease and p.V326A of POT1 associated with lung cancer. We further investigated enrichment of heritability within 2,868 annotations of genome-wide transcription factor occupancy, and

  • Diversity and longitudinal records: Genetic architecture of disease associations and polygenic risk in the Taiwanese Han population - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40465716

    ABSTRACT: We addressed the underrepresentation of non-European populations in genome-wide association studies (GWASs) by building HiGenome, a large-scale genetic resource for the Taiwanese Han population. Using a custom genotyping array, we integrated deidentified electronic medical records (2003 to 2021) with genomic data to enable GWASs, phenome-wide association studies, and polygenic risk score (PRS) analysis. Among 413,000 participants, 323,397 passed ancestry and quality control filtering. GWASs covered 1085 traits, focusing on diseases prevalent in Taiwan such as type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, gout, and alcoholic liver damage. PRSs were calculated for 238 traits, with the strongest associations observed in musculoskeletal disorders. Incorporating PRS into clinical practice
