• Genome-wide association and HLA fine-mapping studies identify risk loci and genetic pathways underlying allergic rhinitis - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 30013184

  [INTRO] Introduction [INTRO] Allergic rhinitis is the most common clinical presentation of allergy, affecting 400 million people worldwide, and with increasing incidence in westernized countries. To elucidate the genetic architecture and understand disease mechanisms of allergic rhinitis, we carried out a metaanalysis of allergic rhinitis in 59,762 cases and 152,358 controls of European ancestry and identified a total of 41 risk loci for allergic rhinitis, including 20 loci not previously associated with allergic rhinitis, which were confirmed in a replication phase of 60,720 cases and 618,527 controls. Functional annotation implied genes involved in various immune pathways, and fine mapping of the HLA region suggested amino acid variants of importance for antigen binding. We further perf

• Inflammatory and infectious upper respiratory diseases associate with 41 genomic loci and type 2 inflammation - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36653354

  ABSTRACT: Inflammatory and infectious upper respiratory diseases (ICD-10: J30-J39), such as diseases of the sinonasal tract, pharynx and larynx, are growing health problems yet their genomic similarity is not known. We analyze genome-wide association to eight upper respiratory diseases (61,195 cases) among 260,405 FinnGen participants, meta-analyzing diseases in four groups based on an underlying genetic correlation structure. Aiming to understand which genetic loci contribute to susceptibility to upper respiratory diseases in general and its subtypes, we detect 41 independent genome-wide significant loci, distinguishing impact on sinonasal or pharyngeal diseases, or both. Fine-mapping implicated non-synonymous variants in nine genes, including three linked to immune-related diseases. Phen

• Detection and interpretation of shared genetic influences on 42 human traits - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 27182965

  ABSTRACT: We performed a scan for genetic variants associated with multiple phenotypes by comparing large genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 42 traits or diseases. We identified 341 loci (at an FDR of 10%) associated with multiple traits. Several loci are associated with a large number of phenotypes; for example, a nonsynonymous variant in the zinc transporter SLC39A8 influences seven of these traits, including risk of schizophrenia (rs13107325: log-odds ratio = 0.15, P = 2 × 10−12) and Parkinson's disease (log-odds ratio = −0.15, P = 1.6 × 10−7), among others. Second, we used these loci to identify traits that share multiple genetic causes in common. For example, variants that increase risk of schizophrenia also tend to increase risk of inflammatory bowel disease. Finally,

• Shared genetic origin of asthma, hay fever and eczema elucidates allergic disease biology - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29083406

  ABSTRACT: Asthma, hay fever (or allergic rhinitis) and eczema (or atopic dermatitis) often coexist in the same individuals, partly because of a shared genetic origin. To identify shared risk variants, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS, n=360,838) of a broad allergic disease phenotype that considers the presence of any one of these three diseases. We identified 136 independent risk variants (P<3x10-8), including 73 not previously reported, which implicate 132 nearby genes in allergic disease pathophysiology. Disease-specific effects were detected for only six variants, confirming that most represent shared risk factors. Tissue-specific heritability and biological process enrichment analyses suggest that shared risk variants influence lymphocyte-mediated immunity. Six target
