• Better safe than sorry-Whole-genome sequencing indicates that missense variants are significant in susceptibility to COVID-19 - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36662838

  ABSTRACT: Undoubtedly, genetic factors play an important role in susceptibility and resistance to COVID-19. In this study, we conducted the GWAS analysis. Out of 15,489,173 SNPs, we identified 18,191 significant SNPs for severe and 11,799 SNPs for resistant phenotype, showing that a great number of loci were significant in different COVID-19 representations. The majority of variants were synonymous (60.56% for severe, 58.46% for resistant phenotype) or located in introns (55.77% for severe, 59.83% for resistant phenotype). We identified the most significant SNPs for a severe outcome (in AJAP1 intron) and for COVID resistance (in FIG4 intron). We found no missense variants with a potential causal function on resistance to COVID-19; however, two missense variants were determined as significa

• Genome-wide association meta-analyses combining multiple risk phenotypes provides insights into the genetic architecture of cutaneous melanoma susceptibility - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32341527

  ABSTRACT: Most genetic susceptibility to cutaneous melanoma remains to be discovered. Meta-analysis genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 36,760 melanoma cases (67% newly-genotyped) and 375,188 controls identified 54 significant loci with 68 independent SNPs. Analysis of risk estimates across geographical regions and host factors suggests the acral melanoma subtype is uniquely unrelated to pigmentation. Combining this meta-analysis with nevus count and hair color GWAS, and transcriptome association approaches, uncovered 31 potential secondary loci, for a total of 85 cutaneous melanoma susceptibility loci. These findings provide substantial insights into cutaneous melanoma genetic architecture, reinforcing the importance of nevogenesis, pigmentation, and telomere maintenance together with
