• Phage display sequencing reveals that genetic, environmental, and intrinsic factors influence variation of human antibody epitope repertoire. - Immunity (2023) · Andreu-Sánchez S, Bourgonje AR, Vogl T, Kurilshikov A, Leviatan S, Ruiz-Moreno AJ, Hu S, Sinha T, Vich Vila A, Klompus S, Kalka IN, de Leeuw K, Arends S, Jonkers I, Withoff S, Brouwer E, Weinberger A, Wijmenga C, Segal E, Weersma RK, Fu J, Zhernakova A · PubMed 37164013

  Phage-displayed immunoprecipitation sequencing (PhIP-seq) has enabled high-throughput profiling of human antibody repertoires. However, a comprehensive overview of environmental and genetic determinants shaping human adaptive immunity is lacking. In this study, we investigated the effects of genetic, environmental, and intrinsic factors on the variation in human antibody repertoires. We characterized serological antibody repertoires against 344,000 peptides using PhIP-seq libraries from a wide range of microbial and environmental antigens in 1,443 participants from a population cohort. We detected individual-specificity, temporal consistency, and co-housing similarities in antibody repertoires. Genetic analyses showed the involvement of the HLA, IGHV, and FUT2 gene regions in antibody-bou

• A Comprehensive Family-Based Replication Study of Schizophrenia Genes - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 23894747

  ABSTRACT: Importance Schizophrenia (SCZ) is a devastating psychiatric condition. Identifying the specific genetic variants and pathways that increase susceptibility to SCZ is critical to improve disease understanding and address the urgent need for new drug targets. Objective To identify SCZ susceptibility genes. Design We integrated results from a meta-analysis of 18 genome-wide association studies (GWAS) involving 1 085 772 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and 6 databases that showed significant informativeness for SCZ. The 9380 most promising SNPs were then specifically genotyped in an independent family-based replication study that, after quality control, consisted of 8107 SNPs. Setting Linkage meta-analysis, brain transcriptome meta-analysis, candidate gene database, OMIM, relev

• A genome-wide association study of early menopause and the combined impact of identified variants - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 23307926

  ABSTRACT: Early menopause (EM) affects up to 10% of the female population, reducing reproductive lifespan considerably. Currently, it constitutes the leading cause of infertility in the western world, affecting mainly those women who postpone their first pregnancy beyond the age of 30 years. The genetic aetiology of EM is largely unknown in the majority of cases. We have undertaken a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) in 3493 EM cases and 13 598 controls from 10 independent studies. No novel genetic variants were discovered, but the 17 variants previously associated with normal age at natural menopause as a quantitative trait (QT) were also associated with EM and primary ovarian insufficiency (POI). Thus, EM has a genetic aetiology which overlaps variation in normal a

• Meta-analyses identify 13 novel loci associated with age at menopause and highlights DNA repair and immune pathways - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 22267201

  ABSTRACT: To identify novel loci for age at natural menopause, we performed a meta-analysis of 22 genome-wide association studies in 38,968 women of European descent, with replication in up to 14,435 women. In addition to four known loci, we identified 13 new age at natural menopause loci (P < 5 × 10−8). The new loci included genes implicated in DNA repair (EXO1, HELQ, UIMC1, FAM175A, FANCI, TLK1, POLG, PRIM1) and immune function (IL11, NLRP11, BAT2). Gene-set enrichment pathway analyses using the full GWAS dataset identified exodeoxyribonuclease, NFκB signalling and mitochondrial dysfunction as biological processes related to timing of menopause.
