  • Genome-wide association studies identify several new loci associated with pigmentation traits and skin cancer risk in European Americans. - Human molecular genetics (2014) · Zhang M, Song F, Liang L, Nan H, Zhang J, Liu H, Wang LE, Wei Q, Lee JE, Amos CI, Kraft P, Qureshi AA, Han J · PubMed 23548203

    Aiming to identify novel genetic loci for pigmentation and skin cancer, we conducted a series of genome-wide association studies on hair color, eye color, number of sunburns, tanning ability and number of non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs) among 10 183 European Americans in the discovery stage and 4504 European Americans in the replication stage (for eye color, 3871 males in the discovery stage and 2496 males in the replication stage). We targeted novel chromosome regions besides the known ones for replication. As a result, we identified a new region downstream of the EDNRB gene on 13q22 associated with hair color and the strongest association was the single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs975739 (P = 2.4 × 10(-14); P = 5.4 × 10(-9) in the discovery set and P = 1.2 × 10(-6) in the replic

  • Skin Phototype and Disease: A Comprehensive Genetic Approach to Pigmentary Traits Pleiotropy Using PRS in the GCAT Cohort - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 36672889

    ABSTRACT: Human pigmentation has largely been associated with different disease prevalence among populations, but most of these studies are observational and inconclusive. Known to be genetically determined, pigmentary traits have largely been studied by Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS), mostly in Caucasian ancestry cohorts from North Europe, identifying robustly, several loci involved in many of the pigmentary traits. Here, we conduct a detailed analysis by GWAS and Polygenic Risk Score (PRS) of 13 pigmentary-related traits in a South European cohort of Caucasian ancestry (n = 20,000). We observed fair phototype strongly associated with non-melanoma skin cancer and other dermatoses and confirmed by PRS-approach the shared genetic basis with skin and eye diseases, such as melanoma (OR

  • Clustering of lymphoid neoplasms by cell of origin, somatic mutation and drug usage profiles: a multi-trait genome-wide association study - Unknown journal (n.d.) · Unknown authors · PubMed 40883272

    ABSTRACT: Lymphoid neoplasms (LNs) are heterogeneous malignancies arising from lymphoid cells, displaying diverse clinical and molecular features. Although LNs are collectively frequent, individual subtypes are rare, posing challenges for genetic association studies. Indeed, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) explained only a fraction of the heritability. Shared genetic susceptibility and overlapping risk factors suggest a partially common etiology across subtypes. We employed a multi-trait GWAS strategy to improve discovery power by leveraging pleiotropy among LN subtypes. We defined LN phenoclusters based on cell of origin, somatic mutation profiles, and approved therapeutic agents. Using data from three large cohorts-the UK Biobank, Million Veteran Program, and FinnGen-we analyz
