  • Sex-Dimorphic Analyses Identify Novel and Sex-Specific Genetic Associations in Inflammatory Bowel Disease. - Inflammatory bowel diseases (2023) · Khrom M, Li D, Naito T, Lee HS, Botwin GJ, Potdar AA, Boucher G, Yang S, Mengesha E, Dube S, Song K, McGovern DPB, Haritunians T · PubMed 37262302

    Sex is an integral variable often overlooked in complex disease genetics. Differences between sexes have been reported in natural history, disease complications, and age of onset in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). While association studies have identified >230 IBD loci, there have been a limited number of studies investigating sex differences underlying these genetic associations. We report the first investigation of sex-dimorphic associations via meta-analysis of a sex-stratified association study (34 579 IBD cases, 39 125 controls). In addition, we performed chromosome (chr) X-specific analyses, considering models of X inactivation (XCI) and XCI escape. Demographic and clinical characteristics were also compared between sexes. We identified significant differences between sexes for dis

  • Transancestral mapping and genetic load in systemic lupus erythematosus - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 28714469

    ABSTRACT: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with marked gender and ethnic disparities. We report a large transancestral association study of SLE using Immunochip genotype data from 27,574 individuals of European (EA), African (AA) and Hispanic Amerindian (HA) ancestry. We identify 58 distinct non-HLA regions in EA, 9 in AA and 16 in HA (∼50% of these regions have multiple independent associations); these include 24 novel SLE regions (P<5 × 10−8), refined association signals in established regions, extended associations to additional ancestries, and a disentangled complex HLA multigenic effect. The risk allele count (genetic load) exhibits an accelerating pattern of SLE risk, leading us to posit a cumulative hit hypothesis for autoimmune disease. Comparing res
