  • Identification of new therapeutic targets for osteoarthritis through genome-wide analyses of UK Biobank - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30664745

    ABSTRACT: Osteoarthritis is the most common musculoskeletal disease and the leading cause of disability globally. Here, we perform a genome-wide association study for osteoarthritis (77,052 cases and 378,169 controls), analysing 4 phenotypes: knee osteoarthritis, hip osteoarthritis, knee and/or hip osteoarthritis, and any osteoarthritis. We discover 64 signals, 52 of them novel, more than doubling the number of established disease loci. Six signals fine map to a single variant. We identify putative effector genes by integrating eQTL colocalization, fine-mapping, human rare disease, animal model, and osteoarthritis tissue expression data. We find enrichment for genes underlying monogenic forms of bone development diseases, and for the collagen formation and extracellular matrix organisation

  • Deciphering osteoarthritis genetics across 826,690 individuals from 9 populations - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 34450027

    ABSTRACT: Summary Osteoarthritis affects over 300 million people worldwide. Here, we conduct a genome-wide association study meta-analysis across 826,690 individuals (177,517 with osteoarthritis) and identify 100 independently associated risk variants across 11 osteoarthritis phenotypes, 52 of which have not been associated with the disease before. We report thumb and spine osteoarthritis risk variants and identify differences in genetic effects between weight-bearing and non-weight-bearing joints. We identify sex-specific and early age-at-onset osteoarthritis risk loci. We integrate functional genomics data from primary patient tissues (including articular cartilage, subchondral bone, and osteophytic cartilage) and identify high-confidence effector genes. We provide evidence for genetic c
