  • Genetic insight into the relationship between inflammatory bowel disease and Clostridioides difficile infection - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 39436105

    ABSTRACT: ABSTRACT Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are at increased risk of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). Herein, we aimed to determine if genetic risk contributes to this observed association. We carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) analysis in the Michigan Genomics Initiative and the United Kingdom Biobank for CDI based on ICD codes and meta-analyzed these results with similar publicly accessible GWAS summary statistics from Finngen. Conditional and joint multi-SNP analyses were used to identify independent associations. Imputation of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region with fine mapping was used to try to identify causal HLA allele groups. Two-sample bidirectional Mendelian randomization (MR) was implemented to determine causal relationships

  • Genomic atlas of the human plasma proteome - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29875488

    ABSTRACT: Although plasma proteins have important roles in biological processes and are the direct targets of many drugs, the genetic factors that control inter-individual variation in plasma protein levels are not well understood. Here we characterize the genetic architecture of the human plasma proteome in healthy blood donors from the INTERVAL study. We identify 1,927 genetic associations with 1,478 proteins, a fourfold increase on existing knowledge, including trans associations for 1,104 proteins. To understand the consequences of perturbations in plasma protein levels, we apply an integrated approach that links genetic variation with biological pathway, disease, and drug databases. We show that protein quantitative trait loci overlap with gene expression quantitative trait loci, as w
