• A genome-wide association analysis reveals new pathogenic pathways in gout. - Nature genetics (2024) · Major TJ, Takei R, Matsuo H, Leask MP, Sumpter NA, Topless RK, Shirai Y, Wang W, Cadzow MJ, Phipps-Green AJ, Li Z, Ji A, Merriman ME, Morice E, Kelley EE, Wei WH, McCormick SPA, Bixley MJ, Reynolds RJ, Saag KG, Fadason T, Golovina E, O'Sullivan JM, Stamp LK, Dalbeth N, Abhishek A, Doherty M, Roddy E, Jacobsson LTH, Kapetanovic MC, Melander O, Andrés M, Pérez-Ruiz F, Torres RJ, Radstake T, Jansen TL, Janssen M, Joosten LAB, Liu R, Gaal OI, Crişan TO, Rednic S, Kurreeman F, Huizinga TWJ, Toes R, Lioté F, Richette P, Bardin T, Ea HK, Pascart T, McCarthy GM, Helbert L, Stibůrková B, Tausche AK, Uhlig T, Vitart V, Boutin TS, Hayward C, Riches PL, Ralston SH, Campbell A, MacDonald TM, Nakayama A, Takada T, Nakatochi M, Shimizu S, Kawamura Y, Toyoda Y, Nakaoka H, Yamamoto K, Matsuo K, Shinomiya N, Ichida K, Lee C, Bradbury LA, Brown MA, Robinson PC, Buchanan RRC, Hill CL, Lester S, Smith MD, Rischmueller M, Choi HK, Stahl EA, Miner JN, Solomon DH, Cui J, Giacomini KM, Brackman DJ, Jorgenson EM, Liu H, Susztak K, Shringarpure S, So A, Okada Y, Li C, Shi Y, Merriman TR · PubMed 39406924

  Gout is a chronic disease that is caused by an innate immune response to deposited monosodium urate crystals in the setting of hyperuricemia. Here, we provide insights into the molecular mechanism of the poorly understood inflammatory component of gout from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 2.6 million people, including 120,295 people with prevalent gout. We detected 377 loci and 410 genetically independent signals (149 previously unreported loci in urate and gout). An additional 65 loci with signals in urate (from a GWAS of 630,117 individuals) but not gout were identified. A prioritization scheme identified candidate genes in the inflammatory process of gout, including genes involved in epigenetic remodeling, cell osmolarity and regulation of NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) i

• Transethnic Meta-Analysis of Genome-Wide Association Studies Identifies Three New Loci and Characterizes Population-Specific Differences for Coronary Artery Disease. - Circulation. Genomic and precision medicine (2021) · Matsunaga H, Ito K, Akiyama M, Takahashi A, Koyama S, Nomura S, Ieki H, Ozaki K, Onouchi Y, Sakaue S, Suna S, Ogishima S, Yamamoto M, Hozawa A, Satoh M, Sasaki M, Yamaji T, Sawada N, Iwasaki M, Tsugane S, Tanaka K, Arisawa K, Ikezaki H, Takashima N, Naito M, Wakai K, Tanaka H, Sakata Y, Morita H, Sakata Y, Matsuda K, Murakami Y, Akazawa H, Kubo M, Kamatani Y, Komuro I · PubMed 32469254

  Genome-wide association studies provided many biological insights into coronary artery disease (CAD), but these studies were mainly performed in Europeans. Genome-wide association studies in diverse populations have the potential to advance our understanding of CAD. We conducted 2 genome-wide association studies for CAD in the Japanese population, which included 12 494 cases and 28 879 controls and 2808 cases and 7261 controls, respectively. Then, we performed transethnic meta-analysis using the results of the coronary artery disease genome-wide replication and meta-analysis plus the coronary artery disease 1000 Genomes meta-analysis with UK Biobank. We then explored the pathophysiological significance of these novel loci and examined the differences in CAD-susceptibility loci between Japa

• Multi-Ethnic Genome-wide Association Study for Atrial Fibrillation - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 29892015

  ABSTRACT: Atrial fibrillation (AF) affects over 33 million individuals worldwide and has a complex heritability. We conducted the largest meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for AF to date, consisting of over half a million individuals including 65,446 with AF. In total, we identified 97 loci significantly associated with AF including 67 of which were novel in a combined-ancestry analysis, and 3 in a European specific analysis. We sought to identify AF-associated genes at the GWAS loci by performing RNA-sequencing and expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) analyses in 101 left atrial samples, the most relevant tissue for AF. We also performed transcriptome-wide analyses that identified 57 AF-associated genes, 42 of which overlap with GWAS loci. The identified loci implicate
