• Uncovering the shared genetic components of thyroid disorders and reproductive health. - European journal of endocrinology (2024) · Figuerêdo J, Krebs K, Pujol-Gualdo N, Haller T, Võsa U, Volke V, Laisk T, Mägi R · PubMed 39067062

  The aim of the study is to map the shared genetic component and relationships between thyroid and reproductive health traits to improve the understanding of the interplay between those domains. A large-scale genetic analysis of thyroid traits (hyper- and hypothyroidism, and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels) was conducted in up to 743 088 individuals of European ancestry from various cohorts. We evaluated genetic associations using genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis, GWAS Catalog lookup, gene prioritization, mouse phenotype lookup, and genetic correlation analysis. GWAS meta-analysis results for thyroid phenotypes showed that 50 lead variants out of 253 (including 5/52 of the novel hits) were linked to reproductive health in previous literature. Genetic correlation analyse

• Genome-wide association analyses of autoimmune hypothyroidism reveal autoimmune and thyroid-specific contributions and an inverse relationship with cancer risk - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41748903

  ABSTRACT: The high prevalence (>5%) of autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIHT) provides a unique opportunity to dissect genetic contributions to systemic and organ-specific autoimmunity. Here we performed a genome-wide association meta-analysis of 81,718 AIHT cases in FinnGen and the UK Biobank, identifying 418 independent signals (P < 5 × 10−8). At 48 of these loci, a protein-coding variant is, or is highly correlated (r2 > 0.95) with, the lead variant, including Finnish-enriched coding variants in LAG3, ZAP70 and TG. We demonstrated that ZAP70:T155M reduces T cell activation and broadly compare large-scale scans of nonthyroid autoimmunity and thyroid-stimulating hormone levels with a Bayesian classifier to assign loci into distinct groupings, estimating that 38% are involved in g

• Multiomics analysis of rheumatoid arthritis yields sequence variants that have large effects on risk of the seropositive subset - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 35470158

  ABSTRACT: Objectives To find causal genes for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its seropositive (RF and/or ACPA positive) and seronegative subsets. Methods We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 31 313 RA cases (68% seropositive) and ~1 million controls from Northwestern Europe. We searched for causal genes outside the HLA-locus through effect on coding, mRNA expression in several tissues and/or levels of plasma proteins (SomaScan) and did network analysis (Qiagen). Results We found 25 sequence variants for RA overall, 33 for seropositive and 2 for seronegative RA, altogether 37 sequence variants at 34 non-HLA loci, of which 15 are novel. Genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of these yielded 25 causal genes in seropositive RA and additional two overall. Most encode p

• Global multi-ancestry genome-wide analyses identify genes and biological pathways associated with thyroid cancer and benign thyroid diseases - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41644669

  ABSTRACT: Thyroid diseases are common and highly heritable. We performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies from 19 biobanks for five thyroid diseases: thyroid cancer (ThC), benign nodular goiter, Graves' disease, lymphocytic thyroiditis and primary hypothyroidism. We analyzed genetic association data from ~2.9 million genomes and identified 313 known and 570 new independent loci linked to thyroid diseases. We discovered genetic correlations between ThC, benign nodular goiter and autoimmune thyroid diseases (rg = 0.16-0.97). Telomere maintenance genes contributed to benign and malignant thyroid nodular disease risk, whereas cell cycle, DNA repair and damage response genes were associated with ThC. We propose a paradigm that explains genetic predisposition to benign

• Genome-wide association study and polygenic risk prediction of hypothyroidism - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 41238958

  ABSTRACT: We performed a genome-wide meta-analysis of hypothyroidism (113,393 cases and 1,065,268 controls), free thyroxine (191,449 individuals) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (482,873 individuals). We identified 350 loci associated with hypothyroidism, including 179 not previously reported, 29 of which were linked through thyroid-stimulating hormone. We found that many hypothyroidism risk loci regulate blood cell counts and the circulating inflammasome, and through multiple gene-mapping strategies, we prioritized 259 putative causal genes enriched in immune-related functions. We developed a polygenic risk score (PRS) based on more than 115,000 hypothyroidism cases to address diagnostic challenges in individuals with or at risk of thyroid hormone deficiency. We show that the highest pred

• Seven newly identified loci for autoimmune thyroid disease - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 22922229

  ABSTRACT: Autoimmune thyroid disease (AITD), including Graves' disease (GD) and Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT), is one of the most common of the immune-mediated diseases. To further investigate the genetic determinants of AITD, we conducted an association study using a custom-made single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array, the ImmunoChip. The SNP array contains all known and genotype-able SNPs across 186 distinct susceptibility loci associated with one or more immune-mediated diseases. After stringent quality control, we analysed 103 875 common SNPs (minor allele frequency >0.05) in 2285 GD and 462 HT patients and 9364 controls. We found evidence for seven new AITD risk loci (P < 1.12 × 10−6; a permutation test derived significance threshold), five at locations previously associated and
