  Current genome-wide association studies do not yet capture sufficient diversity in populations and scope of phenotypes. To expand an atlas of genetic associations in non-European populations, we conducted 220 deep-phenotype genome-wide association studies (diseases, biomarkers and medication usage) in BioBank Japan (n = 179,000), by incorporating past medical history and text-mining of electronic medical records. Meta-analyses with the UK Biobank and FinnGen (n = 628,000) identified ~5,000 new loci, which improved the resolution of the genomic map of human traits. This atlas elucidated the landscape of pleiotropy as represented by the major histocompatibility complex locus, where we conducted HLA fine-mapping. Finally, we performed statistical decomposition of matrices of phenome-wid

• Characterizing prostate cancer risk through multi-ancestry genome-wide discovery of 187 novel risk variants - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 37945903

  [INTRO] Introduction [INTRO] The transferability and clinical value of genetic risk scores (GRS) across populations remains limited due to an imbalance in genetic studies across ancestrally diverse populations. We conducted a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 156,319 prostate cancer cases and 788,443 controls of European, African, Asian, and Hispanic men, reflecting a 57% increase in the number of non-European cases over previous prostate cancer GWAS. We identified 187 novel risk variants for prostate cancer, increasing the total number of risk variants to 451. An externally replicated multi-ancestry GRS was associated with risk that ranged from 1.8 (per standard deviation (SD)) in African ancestry men to 2.2 in European ancestry men. The GRS was associated with a gre

• A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study of prostate cancer identifies novel risk variants and substantial ethnic differences - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 26034056

  ABSTRACT: A genome-wide association study of prostate cancer in Kaiser Permanente health plan members (7,783 cases, 38,595 controls; 80.3% non-Hispanic white, 4.9% African-American, 7.0% East Asian, 7.8% Latino) revealed a new independent risk indel rs4646284 at the previously-identified locus 6q25.3 that replicated in PEGASUS (N=7,539) and MEC (N=4,679) (p=1.0×10−19, OR=1.18). Across the 6q25.3 locus, rs4646284 exhibited the strongest association with expression of SLC22A1 (p=1.3×10−23) and SLC22A3 (p=3.2×10−52). At the known 19q13.33 locus rs2659124 (p=1.3×10−13, OR=1.18) nominally replicated in PEGASUS. A risk score of 105 known risk SNPs was strongly associated with prostate cancer (p<1.0×10−8). Comparing the highest to lowest risk score deciles, the OR was 6.22 for non-
