  • Genomic atlas of the human plasma proteome - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29875488

    ABSTRACT: Although plasma proteins have important roles in biological processes and are the direct targets of many drugs, the genetic factors that control inter-individual variation in plasma protein levels are not well understood. Here we characterize the genetic architecture of the human plasma proteome in healthy blood donors from the INTERVAL study. We identify 1,927 genetic associations with 1,478 proteins, a fourfold increase on existing knowledge, including trans associations for 1,104 proteins. To understand the consequences of perturbations in plasma protein levels, we apply an integrated approach that links genetic variation with biological pathway, disease, and drug databases. We show that protein quantitative trait loci overlap with gene expression quantitative trait loci, as w

  • Mapping the proteo-genomic convergence of human diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34648354

    ABSTRACT: Characterization of the genetic regulation of proteins is essential for understanding disease etiology and developing therapies. We identified 10,674 genetic associations for 3,892 plasma proteins to create a cis-anchored gene-protein-disease map of 1,859 connections that highlights strong cross-disease biological convergence. This proteo-genomic map provides a framework to 1) connect etiologically related diseases, 2) provide biological context for new or emerging disorders, and 3) integrate different biological domains to establish mechanisms for known gene-disease links. Our results identify proteo-genomic connections within and between diseases and establish the value of cis-protein variants for annotation of likely causal disease genes at GWAS loci, addressing a major barrie

  • A genome-wide association study of serum proteins reveals shared loci with common diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35078996

    ABSTRACT: With the growing number of genetic association studies, the genotype-phenotype atlas has become increasingly more complex, yet the functional consequences of most disease associated alleles is not understood. The measurement of protein level variation in solid tissues and biofluids integrated with genetic variants offers a path to deeper functional insights. Here we present a large-scale proteogenomic study in 5,368 individuals, revealing 4,035 independent associations between genetic variants and 2,091 serum proteins, of which 36% are previously unreported. The majority of both cis- and trans-acting genetic signals are unique for a single protein, although our results also highlight numerous highly pleiotropic genetic effects on protein levels and demonstrate that a protein's

  • The genomic architecture of circulating cytokine levels points to drug targets for immune-related diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39794498

    ABSTRACT: Circulating cytokines orchestrate immune reactions and are promising drug targets for immune-mediated and inflammatory diseases. Exploring the genetic architecture of circulating cytokine levels could yield key insights into causal mediators of human disease. Here, we performed genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for 40 circulating cytokines in meta-analyses of 74,783 individuals. We detected 359 significant associations between cytokine levels and variants in 169 independent loci, including 150 trans- and 19 cis-acting loci. Integration with transcriptomic data point to key regulatory mechanisms, such as the buffering function of the Atypical Chemokine Receptor 1 (ACKR1) acting as scavenger for multiple chemokines and the role of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated fact

  • Identifying shared genetic loci and common risk genes of rheumatoid arthritis associated with three autoimmune diseases based on large-scale cross-trait genome-wide association studies - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37377963

    ABSTRACT: Introduction Substantial links between autoimmune diseases have been shown by an increasing number of studies, and one hypothesis for this comorbidity is that there is a common genetic cause. Methods In this paper, a large-scale cross-trait Genome-wide Association Studies (GWAS) was conducted to investigate the genetic overlap among rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, inflammatory bowel disease and type 1 diabetes. Results and discussion Through the local genetic correlation analysis, 2 regions with locally significant genetic associations between rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, and 4 regions with locally significant genetic associations between rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes were discovered. By cross-trait meta-analysis, 58 independent loci associate
