  • Genetic landscape and functional exploration of kidney cancer predisposition in cross-ancestral populations. - Nature communications (2026) · Dai H, Chu X, Du H, Yang S, Yao Y, Yu X, Zhao Y, Dong P, Lyu Z, Wang W, Li H, Mi Z, Sheng C, Li X, Zheng H, Song F, Song F, Sun M, Dai J, Lan Q, Rothman N, Hu Z, Wei Q, Ye D, Yao X, Jia W, Chanock SJ, Shen H, Purdue MP, Li MJ, Chen K · PubMed 42000752

    Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common type of kidney cancer, but its genetic architecture has not been fully characterized, particularly in Asian populations. Here, we perform a multi-ancestry meta-analysis of 33,712 RCC cases and 845,786 controls, including individuals of East Asian (5,313 cases and 96,912 controls), European (25,890 cases and 743,585 controls), African American (897 cases and 3,109 controls), and Latin American ancestry (1,612 cases and 2,180 controls), which unveils 10 novel RCC-associated loci and a Chinese-specific locus at 12p13.33. Leveraging genome-wide association study (GWAS) data and cross-ancestry expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) mapping from 266 kidney tissues, we refine the identification of putative causal variants and genes implicated in R

  • Multi-ancestry genome-wide association study of kidney cancer identifies 63 susceptibility regions. - Nature genetics (2024) · Purdue MP, Dutta D, Machiela MJ, Gorman BR, Winter T, Okuhara D, Cleland S, Ferreiro-Iglesias A, Scheet P, Liu A, Wu C, Antwi SO, Larkin J, Zequi SC, Sun M, Hikino K, Hajiran A, Lawson KA, Cárcano F, Blanchet O, Shuch B, Nepple KG, Margue G, Sundi D, Diver WR, Folgueira MAAK, van Bokhoven A, Neffa F, Brown KM, Hofmann JN, Rhee J, Yeager M, Cole NR, Hicks BD, Manning MR, Hutchinson AA, Rothman N, Huang WY, Linehan WM, Lori A, Ferragu M, Zidane-Marinnes M, Serrano SV, Magnabosco WJ, Vilas A, Decia R, Carusso F, Graham LS, Anderson K, Bilen MA, Arciero C, Pellegrin I, Ricard S, Scelo G, Banks RE, Vasudev NS, Soomro N, Stewart GD, Adeyoju A, Bromage S, Hrouda D, Gibbons N, Patel P, Sullivan M, Protheroe A, Nugent FI, Fournier MJ, Zhang X, Martin LJ, Komisarenko M, Eisen T, Cunningham SA, Connolly DC, Uzzo RG, Zaridze D, Mukeria A, Holcatova I, Hornakova A, Foretova L, Janout V, Mates D, Jinga V, Rascu S, Mijuskovic M, Savic S, Milosavljevic S, Gaborieau V, Abedi-Ardekani B, McKay J, Johansson M, Phouthavongsy L, Hayman L, Li J, Lungu I, Bezerra SM, Souza AG, Sares CTG, Reis RB, Gallucci FP, Cordeiro MD, Pomerantz M, Lee GM, Freedman ML, Jeong A, Greenberg SE, Sanchez A, Thompson RH, Sharma V, Thiel DD, Ball CT, Abreu D, Lam ET, Nahas WC, Master VA, Patel AV, Bernhard JC, Freedman ND, Bigot P, Reis RM, Colli LM, Finelli A, Manley BJ, Terao C, Choueiri TK, Carraro DM, Houlston R, Eckel-Passow JE, Abbosh PH, Ganna A, Brennan P, Gu J, Chanock SJ · PubMed 38671320

    Here, in a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study meta-analysis of kidney cancer (29,020 cases and 835,670 controls), we identified 63 susceptibility regions (50 novel) containing 108 independent risk loci. In analyses stratified by subtype, 52 regions (78 loci) were associated with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and 6 regions (7 loci) with papillary RCC. Notably, we report a variant common in African ancestry individuals ( rs7629500 ) in the 3' untranslated region of VHL, nearly tripling clear cell RCC risk (odds ratio 2.72, 95% confidence interval 2.23-3.30). In cis-expression quantitative trait locus analyses, 48 variants from 34 regions point toward 83 candidate genes. Enrichment of hypoxia-inducible factor-binding sites underscores the importance of hypoxia-related mechan

  • Using Mendelian randomization to evaluate the causal relationship between serum C-reactive protein levels and age-related macular degeneration. - European journal of epidemiology (2020) · Han X, Ong JS, An J, Hewitt AW, Gharahkhani P, MacGregor S · PubMed 31900758

    Serum C-reactive protein (CRP), an important inflammatory marker, has been associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in observational studies; however, the findings are inconsistent. It remains unclear whether the association between circulating CRP levels and AMD is causal. We used two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) to evaluate the potential causal relationship between serum CRP levels and AMD risk. We derived genetic instruments for serum CRP levels in 418,642 participants of European ancestry from UK Biobank, and then conducted a genome-wide association study for 12,711 advanced AMD cases and 14,590 controls of European descent from the International AMD Genomics Consortium. Genetic variants which predicted elevated serum CRP levels were associated with advanced AMD (o

  • Genetics of 35 blood and urine biomarkers in the UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33462484

    ABSTRACT: Clinical laboratory tests are a critical component of the continuum of care. We evaluate the genetic basis of 35 blood and urine laboratory measurements in the UK Biobank (n=363,228 individuals). We identify 1,857 loci associated with at least one trait, containing 3,374 fine-mapped associations, and additional sets of large-effect (> 0.1 sd) protein-altering, HLA, and copy-number variant associations. Through Mendelian Randomization analysis, we discover 51 causal relationships, including previously known agonistic effects of urate on gout and cystatin C on stroke. Finally, we develop polygenic risk scores for each biomarker and built 'multi-PRS' models for diseases using 35 PRSs simultaneously, which improved chronic kidney disease, type 2 diabetes, gout, and alcoholic cirr

  • Pleiotropic genetic architecture and novel loci for C-reactive protein levels - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36376304

    ABSTRACT: C-reactive protein is involved in a plethora of pathophysiological conditions. Many genetic loci associated with C-reactive protein are annotated to lipid and glucose metabolism genes supporting common biological pathways between inflammation and metabolic traits. To identify novel pleiotropic loci, we perform multi-trait analysis of genome-wide association studies on C-reactive protein levels along with cardiometabolic traits, followed by a series of in silico analyses including colocalization, phenome-wide association studies and Mendelian randomization. We find 41 novel loci and 19 gene sets associated with C-reactive protein with various pleiotropic effects. Additionally, 41 variants colocalize between C-reactive protein and cardiometabolic risk factors and 12 of them display

  • A large-scale genome-wide cross-trait analysis for the effect of COVID-19 on female-specific cancers - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37636041

    ABSTRACT: Summary Little is known regarding the long-term adverse effects of COVID-19 on female-specific cancers, nor the shared genetic influences underlying these conditions. We performed a comprehensive genome-wide cross-trait analysis to investigate the shared genetic architecture between COVID-19 (infection, hospitalization, and critical illness) with three female-specific cancers (breast cancer (BC), epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC), and endometrial cancer (EC)). We identified significant genome-wide genetic correlations with EC for both hospitalization ( = 0.19, p = 0.01) and critical illness ( = 0.29, p = 3.00 × 10−4). Mendelian randomization demonstrated no valid association of COVID-19 with any cancer of interest, except for suggestive associations of genetically predicte
