  • PR interval genome-wide association meta-analysis identifies 50 loci associated with atrial and atrioventricular electrical activity - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30046033

    ABSTRACT: Electrocardiographic PR interval measures atrio-ventricular depolarization and conduction, and abnormal PR interval is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and heart block. Our genome-wide association study of over 92,000 European-descent individuals identifies 44 PR interval loci (34 novel). Examination of these loci reveals known and previously not-yet-reported biological processes involved in cardiac atrial electrical activity. Genes in these loci are over-represented in cardiac disease processes including heart block and atrial fibrillation. Variants in over half of the 44 loci were associated with atrial or blood transcript expression levels, or were in high linkage disequilibrium with missense variants. Six additional loci were identified either by meta-analysis of ~105,00

  • Genome-wide haplotype association study identify the FGFR2 gene as a risk gene for Acute Myeloid Leukemia - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 27903959

    ABSTRACT: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a cancer of the myeloid line of blood cells, and generally considered to be caused by environment and genetic factors. In this study, we combined a genome-wide haplotype association study (GWHAS) and gene prioritization strategy to mine AML-related genetic affect factors and understand its pathogenesis. A total of 175 AML patients were downloaded from the public GEO database (GSE32462) and 218 matched Caucasian controls were from the HapMap Project. We first identified the linkage disequilibrium (LD) blocks and performed a GWHAS to scan AML-related haplotypes. Then we mapped these haplotypes to the corresponding genes as candidate. And finally, we prioritized all the AML candidate genes based on the similarity with 38 known AML susceptibility genes

  • Investigating the shared genetic architecture between COVID-19 and obesity: a large-scale genome wide cross-trait analysis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 38352709

    ABSTRACT: Observational studies have reported high comorbidity between obesity and severe COVID-19. The aim of this study is to explore whether genetic factors are involved in the co-occurrence of the two traits. Based on the available genome-wide association studies (GWAS) summary statistics, we explored the genetic correlation and performed cross-trait meta-analysis (CPASSOC) and colocalization analysis (COLOC) to detect pleiotropic single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). At the genetic level, we obtained genes detected by Functional mapping and annotation (FUMA) and the Multi-marker Analysis of GenoMic Annotation (MAGMA). Potential functional genes were further investigated by summary-data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR). Finally, the casualty was identiied using the latent causal v
