  • A loss-of-function variant in ALOX15 protects against nasal polyps and chronic rhinosinusitis. - Nature genetics (2019) · Kristjansson RP, Benonisdottir S, Davidsson OB, Oddsson A, Tragante V, Sigurdsson JK, Stefansdottir L, Jonsson S, Jensson BO, Arthur JG, Arnadottir GA, Sulem G, Halldorsson BV, Gunnarsson B, Halldorsson GH, Stefansson OA, Oskarsson GR, Deaton AM, Olafsson I, Eyjolfsson GI, Sigurdardottir O, Onundarson PT, Gislason D, Gislason T, Ludviksson BR, Ludviksdottir D, Olafsdottir TA, Rafnar T, Masson G, Zink F, Bjornsdottir G, Magnusson OT, Bjornsdottir US, Thorleifsson G, Norddahl GL, Gudbjartsson DF, Thorsteinsdottir U, Jonsdottir I, Sulem P, Stefansson K · PubMed 30643255

    Nasal polyps (NP) are lesions on the nasal and paranasal sinus mucosa and are a risk factor for chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS). We performed genome-wide association studies on NP and CRS in Iceland and the UK (using UK Biobank data) with 4,366 NP cases, 5,608 CRS cases, and >700,000 controls. We found 10 markers associated with NP and 2 with CRS. We also tested 210 markers reported to associate with eosinophil count, yielding 17 additional NP associations. Of the 27 NP signals, 7 associate with CRS and 13 with asthma. Most notably, a missense variant in ALOX15 that causes a p.Thr560Met alteration in arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase (15-LO) confers large genome-wide significant protection against NP (P = 8.0 × 10 , odds ratio = 0.32; 95% confidence interval = 0.26, 0.39) and CRS

  • Moderate-to-severe asthma in individuals of European ancestry: a genome-wide association study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30552067

    ABSTRACT: Summary Background Few genetic studies that focus on moderate-to-severe asthma exist. We aimed to identity novel genetic variants associated with moderate-to-severe asthma, see whether previously identified genetic variants for all types of asthma contribute to moderate-to-severe asthma, and provide novel mechanistic insights using expression analyses in patients with asthma. Methods In this genome-wide association study, we used a two-stage case-control design. In stage 1, we genotyped patient-level data from two UK cohorts (the Genetics of Asthma Severity and Phenotypes [GASP] initiative and the Unbiased BIOmarkers in PREDiction of respiratory disease outcomes [U-BIOPRED] project) and used data from the UK Biobank to collect patient-level genomic data for cases and controls of

  • Trans-ethnic and ancestry-specific blood-cell genetics in 746,667 individuals from 5 global populations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32888493

    ABSTRACT: SUMMARY Most loci identified by GWAS have been found in populations of European ancestry (EUR). In trans-ethnic meta-analyses for 15 hematological traits in 746,667 participants, including 184,535 non-EUR individuals, we identified 5,552 trait-variant associations at P<5×10−9, including 71 novel loci not found in EUR populations. We also identified 28 additional novel variants in ancestry-specific, non-EUR meta-analyses, including an IL7 missense variant in South Asians associated with lymphocyte count in vivo and IL7 secretion levels in vitro. Fine-mapping prioritized variants annotated as functional, and generated 95% credible sets that were 30% smaller when using the trans-ethnic as opposed to the EUR-only results. We explored the clinical significance and predictive value

  • Large scale genome-wide association study in a Japanese population identifies novel susceptibility loci across different diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 32514122

    ABSTRACT: The overwhelming majority of participants in current genetic studies are of European ancestry. To elucidate disease biology in the East Asian population, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 212,453 Japanese individuals across 42 diseases. We detected 320 independent signals in 276 loci for 27 diseases, with 25 novel loci (P < 9.58 x 10−9). East Asian-specific missense variants were identified as candidate causal variants for three novel loci, and we successfully replicated two of them by analyzing independent Japanese cohorts; p.R220W of ATG16L2 associated with coronary artery disease and p.V326A of POT1 associated with lung cancer. We further investigated enrichment of heritability within 2,868 annotations of genome-wide transcription factor occupancy, and

  • Multi-ancestry genome-wide association analyses identify novel genetic mechanisms in rheumatoid arthritis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36333501

    ABSTRACT: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a highly heritable complex disease with unknown etiology. Multi-ancestry genetic research of RA promises to improve power to detect genetic signals, fine-mapping resolution and performances of polygenic risk scores (PRS). Here, we present a large-scale genome-wide association study (GWAS) of RA, which includes 276,020 samples from five ancestral groups. We conducted a multi-ancestry meta-analysis and identified 124 loci (P < 5 × 10−8), of which 34 are novel. Candidate genes at the novel loci suggest essential roles of the immune system (for example, TNIP2 and TNFRSF11A) and joint tissues (for example, WISP1) in RA etiology. Multi-ancestry fine-mapping identified putatively causal variants with biological insights (for example, LEF1). Moreover, PRS

  • Inflammatory and infectious upper respiratory diseases associate with 41 genomic loci and type 2 inflammation - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36653354

    ABSTRACT: Inflammatory and infectious upper respiratory diseases (ICD-10: J30-J39), such as diseases of the sinonasal tract, pharynx and larynx, are growing health problems yet their genomic similarity is not known. We analyze genome-wide association to eight upper respiratory diseases (61,195 cases) among 260,405 FinnGen participants, meta-analyzing diseases in four groups based on an underlying genetic correlation structure. Aiming to understand which genetic loci contribute to susceptibility to upper respiratory diseases in general and its subtypes, we detect 41 independent genome-wide significant loci, distinguishing impact on sinonasal or pharyngeal diseases, or both. Fine-mapping implicated non-synonymous variants in nine genes, including three linked to immune-related diseases. Phen

  • The Allelic Landscape of Human Blood Cell Trait Variation and Links to Common Complex Disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 27863252

    ABSTRACT: Summary Many common variants have been associated with hematological traits, but identification of causal genes and pathways has proven challenging. We performed a genome-wide association analysis in the UK Biobank and INTERVAL studies, testing 29.5 million genetic variants for association with 36 red cell, white cell, and platelet properties in 173,480 European-ancestry participants. This effort yielded hundreds of low frequency (<5%) and rare (<1%) variants with a strong impact on blood cell phenotypes. Our data highlight general properties of the allelic architecture of complex traits, including the proportion of the heritable component of each blood trait explained by the polygenic signal across different genome regulatory domains. Finally, through Mendelian randomization, we
