  • Uncovering the shared genetic components of thyroid disorders and reproductive health. - European journal of endocrinology (2024) · Figuerêdo J, Krebs K, Pujol-Gualdo N, Haller T, Võsa U, Volke V, Laisk T, Mägi R · PubMed 39067062

    The aim of the study is to map the shared genetic component and relationships between thyroid and reproductive health traits to improve the understanding of the interplay between those domains. A large-scale genetic analysis of thyroid traits (hyper- and hypothyroidism, and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels) was conducted in up to 743 088 individuals of European ancestry from various cohorts. We evaluated genetic associations using genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis, GWAS Catalog lookup, gene prioritization, mouse phenotype lookup, and genetic correlation analysis. GWAS meta-analysis results for thyroid phenotypes showed that 50 lead variants out of 253 (including 5/52 of the novel hits) were linked to reproductive health in previous literature. Genetic correlation analyse

  • FLT3 stop mutation increases FLT3 ligand level and risk of autoimmune thyroid disease. - Nature (2020) · Saevarsdottir S, Olafsdottir TA, Ivarsdottir EV, Halldorsson GH, Gunnarsdottir K, Sigurdsson A, Johannesson A, Sigurdsson JK, Juliusdottir T, Lund SH, Arnthorsson AO, Styrmisdottir EL, Gudmundsson J, Grondal GM, Steinsson K, Alfredsson L, Askling J, Benediktsson R, Bjarnason R, Geirsson AJ, Gudbjornsson B, Gudjonsson H, Hjaltason H, Hreidarsson AB, Klareskog L, Kockum I, Kristjansdottir H, Love TJ, Ludviksson BR, Olsson T, Onundarson PT, Orvar KB, Padyukov L, Sigurgeirsson B, Tragante V, Bjarnadottir K, Rafnar T, Masson G, Sulem P, Gudbjartsson DF, Melsted P, Thorleifsson G, Norddahl GL, Thorsteinsdottir U, Jonsdottir I, Stefansson K · PubMed 32581359

    Autoimmune thyroid disease is the most common autoimmune disease and is highly heritable . Here, by using a genome-wide association study of 30,234 cases and 725,172 controls from Iceland and the UK Biobank, we find 99 sequence variants at 93 loci, of which 84 variants are previously unreported . A low-frequency (1.36%) intronic variant in FLT3 (rs76428106-C) has the largest effect on risk of autoimmune thyroid disease (odds ratio (OR) = 1.46, P = 2.37 × 10 ). rs76428106-C is also associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (OR = 1.90, P = 6.46 × 10 ), rheumatoid factor and/or anti-CCP-positive rheumatoid arthritis (OR = 1.41, P = 4.31 × 10 ) and coeliac disease (OR = 1.62, P = 1.20 × 10 ). FLT3 encodes fms-related tyrosine kinase 3, a receptor that regulat

  • A Genomics England haplotype reference panel and imputation of UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39134668

    ABSTRACT: We built a reference panel with 342 million autosomal variants using 78,195 individuals from the Genomics England (GEL) dataset, achieving a phasing switch error rate of 0.18% for European samples and imputation quality of r2 = 0.75 for variants with minor allele frequencies as low as 2 × 10−4 in white British samples. The GEL-imputed UK Biobank genome-wide association analysis identified 70% of associations found by direct exome sequencing (P < 2.18 × 10−11), while extending testing of rare variants to the entire genome. Coding variants dominated the rare-variant genome-wide association results, implying less disruptive effects of rare non-coding variants. A Genomics England haplotype reference panel constructed using sequence data from 78,195 individuals
