• A large-scale genome-wide association analysis of lung function in the Chinese population identifies novel loci and highlights shared genetic aetiology with obesity - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33766948

  ABSTRACT: Background Lung function is a heritable complex phenotype with obesity being one of its important risk factors. However, knowledge of their shared genetic basis is limited. Most genome-wide association studies (GWASs) for lung function have been based on European populations, limiting the generalisability across populations. Large-scale lung function GWASs in other populations are lacking. Methods We included 100 285 subjects from the China Kadoorie Biobank (CKB). To identify novel loci for lung function, single-trait GWAS analyses were performed on forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), forced vital capacity (FVC) and FEV1/FVC in the CKB. We then performed genome-wide cross-trait analysis between lung function and obesity traits (body mass index (BMI), BMI-adjusted waist-to

• 131 genetic loci highlight immunological pathways and tissues in nasal polyposis and asthma - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41213931

  ABSTRACT: The coexistence of asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyposis (CRSwNP) is associated with allergic phenotypes, disease severity and failure of first-line treatment for both asthma and CRSwNP. Recent studies have highlighted shared genetic components for these diseases. To better understand this shared component, we perform genome-wide meta-analyses of asthma (n = 71,481), CRSwNP (n = 9626) and chronic rhinosinusitis without nasal polyposis (CRSsNP, n = 15,448) in FinnGen and UKB (685,602 controls). We detect 131 genomic associations, including 17 novel loci for asthma, 33 novel loci for CRSwNP, and one for CRSsNP. A shared impact on asthma and CRSwNP is observed at 71 loci. A cross-trait meta-analysis using all disorders further implicates 17 loci associated wit

• A genome-wide association study identifies risk loci for spirometric measures among smokers of European and African ancestry - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 26634245

  ABSTRACT: Background Pulmonary function decline is a major contributor to morbidity and mortality among smokers. Post bronchodilator FEV1 and FEV1/FVC ratio are considered the standard assessment of airflow obstruction. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 9919 current and former smokers in the COPDGene study (6659 non-Hispanic Whites [NHW] and 3260 African Americans [AA]) to identify associations with spirometric measures (post-bronchodilator FEV1 and FEV1/FVC). We also conducted meta-analysis of FEV1 and FEV1/FVC GWAS in the COPDGene, ECLIPSE, and GenKOLS cohorts (total n = 13,532). Results Among NHW in the COPDGene cohort, both measures of pulmonary function were significantly associated with SNPs at the 15q25 locus [containing CHRNA3/5, AGPHD1, IREB2, CHRNB4] (low
