  • A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of asthma in Puerto Ricans - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 28461288

    ABSTRACT: Rationale No genome-wide association study (GWAS) of asthma has been conducted in Puerto Ricans. Objective To identify susceptibility genetic variants for asthma in Puerto Ricans. Methods We conducted a meta-analysis of GWAS of asthma, including Puerto Rican participants from: GALA I-II, the Hartford-Puerto Rico Study, and the Hispanic Community Health Study. Moreover, we examined whether susceptibility loci identified in previous meta-analyses of GWAS are associated with asthma in Puerto Ricans. Results The only locus to achieve a genome-wide significant association with asthma in an analysis of 2,144 cases and 2,893 controls was chromosome 17q21, as evidenced by our top SNP, rs907092 (OR = 0.71, P = 1.2 ×10−12) on IKZF3. Similar to findings in non-Puerto Ricans, SNPs in gene

  • Meta-analysis of Genome-wide Association Studies of Asthma In Ethnically Diverse North American Populations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 21804549

    ABSTRACT: Asthma is a common disease with a complex risk architecture including both genetic and environmental factors. We performed a meta-analysis of North American genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of asthma in 5,416 asthma cases representing European Americans, African Americans/African Caribbeans, and Latinos, and replicated five regions among the most significant signals in 12,649 individuals from the same ethnic groups. Four were at previously reported loci on 17q21, and near the IL1RL1, TSLP, and IL33, genes, but we report for the first time that these loci are associated with asthma risk in three ethnic groups. In addition, we identified a novel association with asthma in the PYHIN1, gene that was specific to individuals of African descent (p=3.9×10−9). These results sugge

  • Shared Genetic Architecture and Causal Relationship Between Asthma and Cardiovascular Diseases: A Large-Scale Cross-Trait Analysis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35126453

    ABSTRACT: Background: Accumulating evidence has suggested that there is a positive association between asthma and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), implying a common architecture between them. However, the shared genetic architecture and causality of asthma and CVDs remain unclear. Methods: Based on the genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary statistics of recently published studies, our study examined the genetic correlation, shared genetic variants, and causal relationship between asthma (N = 127,669) and CVDs (N = 86,995-521,612). Statistical methods included high-definition likelihood (HDL), cross-trait meta-analyses of large-scale GWAS, transcriptome-wide association studies (TWAS), and Mendelian randomization (MR). Results: First, we observed a significant genetic correlation be
