• Fine-mapping and cell-specific enrichment at corneal resistance factor loci prioritize candidate causal regulatory variants - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 33311554

  ABSTRACT: Corneal resistance factor (CRF) is altered during corneal diseases progression. Genome-wide-association studies (GWAS) indicated potential CRF and disease genetics overlap. Here, we characterise 135 CRF loci following GWAS in 76029 UK Biobank participants. Enrichment of extra-cellular matrix gene-sets, genetic correlation with corneal thickness (70% (SE = 5%)), reported keratoconus risk variants at 13 loci, all support relevance to corneal stroma biology. Fine-mapping identifies a subset of 55 highly likely causal variants, 91% of which are non-coding. Genomic features enrichments, using all associated variants, also indicate prominent regulatory causal role. We newly established open chromatin landscapes in two widely-used human cornea immortalised cell lines using ATAC-seq.

• Genetic Architecture of Trans-Laminar Cribrosa Pressure Difference and Primary Open-Angle Glaucoma - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 42017308

  ABSTRACT: Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate whether the genetic architecture of translaminar cribrosa pressure difference (TLCPD) provides genetic insights based on dual-pressure theory beyond intraocular pressure (IOP) and whether a TLCPD-based polygenic risk score (PRS) predicts primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) risk and its pleiotropic effects. Methods The genome-wide association study (GWAS) of TLCPD was conducted in 82,147 individuals of European ancestry from the UK Biobank (UKBB). Functional enrichment analysis and colocalization analysis were performed to identify associated genes, tissues, and pathways. PRS was calculated in an independent set of 268,734 unrelated European-ancestry individuals not included in the TLCPD GWAS. A survival analysis was utilized to
