  • A cross-population atlas of genetic associations for 220 human phenotypes. - Nature genetics (2021) · Sakaue S, Kanai M, Tanigawa Y, Karjalainen J, Kurki M, Koshiba S, Narita A, Konuma T, Yamamoto K, Akiyama M, Ishigaki K, Suzuki A, Suzuki K, Obara W, Yamaji K, Takahashi K, Asai S, Takahashi Y, Suzuki T, Shinozaki N, Yamaguchi H, Minami S, Murayama S, Yoshimori K, Nagayama S, Obata D, Higashiyama M, Masumoto A, Koretsune Y, Ito K, Terao C, Yamauchi T, Komuro I, Kadowaki T, Tamiya G, Yamamoto M, Nakamura Y, Kubo M, Murakami Y, Yamamoto K, Kamatani Y, Palotie A, Rivas MA, Daly MJ, Matsuda K, Okada Y · PubMed 34594039

    Current genome-wide association studies do not yet capture sufficient diversity in populations and scope of phenotypes. To expand an atlas of genetic associations in non-European populations, we conducted 220 deep-phenotype genome-wide association studies (diseases, biomarkers and medication usage) in BioBank Japan (n = 179,000), by incorporating past medical history and text-mining of electronic medical records. Meta-analyses with the UK Biobank and FinnGen (n = 628,000) identified ~5,000 new loci, which improved the resolution of the genomic map of human traits. This atlas elucidated the landscape of pleiotropy as represented by the major histocompatibility complex locus, where we conducted HLA fine-mapping. Finally, we performed statistical decomposition of matrices of phenome-wid

  • Genome-wide association studies in a large Korean cohort identify quantitative trait loci for 36 traits and illuminate their genetic architectures - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40436827

    ABSTRACT: Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have predominantly focused on European ancestry populations, limiting biological discoveries across diverse populations. Here we report GWAS findings from 153,950 individuals across 36 quantitative traits in the Korean Cancer Prevention Study-II (KCPS2) Biobank. We discovered 301 previously unreported genetic loci in KCPS2, including an association between thyroid-stimulating hormone and CD36. Meta-analysis with the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study, Biobank Japan, Taiwan Biobank, and UK Biobank identified 4588 loci that were not significant in any contributing GWAS. We describe differences in genetic architectures across these East Asian and European samples. We also highlight East Asian specific associations, including a known pleiotrop

  • Integrative common and rare variant analyses provide insights into the genetic architecture of liver cirrhosis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38632349

    ABSTRACT: We report a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study on liver cirrhosis and its associated endophenotypes, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and γ-glutamyl transferase. Using data from 12 cohorts, including 18,265 cases with cirrhosis, 1,782,047 controls, up to 1 million individuals with liver function tests and a validation cohort of 21,689 cases and 617,729 controls, we identify and validate 14 risk associations for cirrhosis. Many variants are located near genes involved in hepatic lipid metabolism. One of these, PNPLA3 p.Ile148Met, interacts with alcohol intake, obesity and diabetes on the risk of cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We develop a polygenic risk score that associates with the progression from cirrhosis to HCC. By focusing on prioritized genes from c

  • GWAS for Interleukin-1β levels in gingival crevicular fluid identifies IL37 variants in periodontal inflammation - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30206230

    ABSTRACT: There is no agnostic GWAS evidence for the genetic control of IL-1β expression in periodontal disease. Here we report a GWAS for "high" gingival crevicular fluid IL-1β expression among 4910 European-American adults and identify association signals in the IL37 locus. rs3811046 at this locus (p = 3.3 × 10−22) is associated with severe chronic periodontitis (OR = 1.50; 95% CI = 1.12-2.00), 10-year incident tooth loss (≥3 teeth: RR = 1.33; 95% CI = 1.09-1.62) and aggressive periodontitis (OR = 1.12; 95% CI = 1.01-1.26) in an independent sample of 4927 German/Dutch adults. The minor allele at rs3811046 is associated with increased expression of IL-1β in periodontal tissue. In RAW macrophages, PBMCs and transgenic mice, the IL37 variant
