  • 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

  • A genome-wide cross-trait analysis identifying shared genetic basis and causal relationships between Hunner-type interstitial cystitis and autoimmune diseases in East Asian populations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39620209

    ABSTRACT: Purpose Epidemiological studies have demonstrated the clinical link between Hunner interstitial cystitis (HIC) and autoimmune diseases (ADs), suggesting potential shared genetic bases for their comorbidity. We aimed to investigate the shared genetic architecture and causal relationships between HIC and ADs. Methods We conducted a genome-wide cross-trait study with ~170000 individuals of East Asian ancestry to investigate the shared architecture between HIC and ADs. Bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) was used to assess potential causal relationships and a multi-trait analysis of GWAS (MTAG) was conducted to identify their associated pleiotropic loci. Fine-mapping analysis narrowed candidate gene susceptibility loci and colocalization analysis was performed to identify shar

  • GWAS identifies genetic loci, lifestyle factors and circulating biomarkers that are risk factors for sarcoidosis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40075078

    ABSTRACT: Sarcoidosis is a complex inflammatory disease with a strong genetic component. Here, we perform a genome-wide association study in 9755 sarcoidosis cases to identify risk loci and map associated genes. We then use transcriptome-wide association studies and enrichment analyses to explore pathways involved in sarcoidosis and use Mendelian randomization to examine associations with modifiable factors and circulating biomarkers. We identify 28 genomic loci associated with sarcoidosis, with the C1orf141-IL23R locus showing the largest effect size. We observe gene expression patterns related to sarcoidosis in the spleen, whole blood, and lung, and highlight 75 tissue-specific genes through transcriptome-wide association studies. Furthermore, we use enrichment analysis to establish key
