A common allele at the TAGAP gene locus demonstrates a suggestive, but not conclusive association with risk of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). To fine map the locus, we conducted comprehensive imputation of CEU HapMap single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 5,500 RA cases and 22,621 controls (all of European ancestry). After controlling for population stratification with principal components analysis, the strongest signal of association was to an imputed SNP, rs212389 (P=3.9 × 10(-8), odds ratio=0.87). This SNP remained highly significant upon conditioning on the previous RA risk variant (rs394581, P=2.2 × 10(-5)) or on a SNP previously associated with celiac disease and type I diabetes (rs1738074, P=1.7 × 10(-4)). Our study has refined the TAGAP signal of association to a single haplotype in RA, and in doing so provides conclusive statistical evidence that the TAGAP locus is associated with RA risk. Our study also underscores the utility of comprehensive imputation in large GWAS data sets to fine map disease risk alleles. 相似文献

Prostate cancer is a common complex disease that disproportionately affects men of African descent. Recently, several different common variants on chromosome 8q24 have been shown to be associated with prostate cancer in multiple studies and ethnic groups. The objective of this study was to confirm the association of 8q24 markers with prostate cancer in African Americans. We genotyped 24 markers along 8q24 and 80 unlinked ancestry informative markers in a hospital-based case-control sample of 1057 African American men (490 prostate cancer cases and 567 controls). Association analyses of 8q24 markers with prostate cancer risk were adjusted for both global and local 8q24 admixture stratification using estimates from ancestry informative markers. We report that rs7008482, which maps to the 8q24.13 region, is an additional independent prostate cancer risk variant (P = 5 x 10(-4)), and we also replicate the association of rs16901979 with prostate cancer (P = 0.002). Other published risk variants in the region such as rs1447295 and rs6983267 showed a similar direction and magnitude of effect, but were not significant in our population. Both rs7008482 and rs16901979 independently predicted risk and remained significant (P < 0.001) after controlling for each other. Our data combined with additional replications of 8q24 markers provide compelling support for multiple regions of risk for prostate cancer on 8q24. 相似文献

Gene expression profiling has identified MUC1 as being significantly overexpressed in prostate cancer with poor clinical outcome after radical surgery, but the molecular mechanisms are still unclear. In this paper, we examined whether the genetic variation in MUC1 alters prostate cancer risk and progression. We identified five haplotype-tagging single-nucleotide polymorphisms that describe inherited genetic variation in and around MUC1. Individual single-nucleotide polymorphisms as well as haplotypes were tested for association with prostate cancer risk and prognosis in 2760 cases and 1722 controls from the Swedish population. We found no association between any single-nucleotide polymorphism or haplotype in the MUC1 and risk of prostate cancer. Stratifying for disease severity or age of onset did not alter the results. Moreover, we observed no association with MUC1 variation and prostate cancer-specific survival. Common variants in MUC1 and the surrounding region are not associated with risk or prognosis of prostate cancer in Swedish men. 相似文献

Among US Latinas and Mexican women, those with higher European ancestry have increased risk of breast cancer. We combined an admixture mapping and genome-wide association mapping approach to search for genomic regions that may explain this observation. Latina women with breast cancer (n= 1497) and Latina controls (n= 1272) were genotyped using Affymetrix and Illumina arrays. We inferred locus-specific genetic ancestry and compared the ancestry between cases and controls. We also performed single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) association analyses in regions of interest. Correction for multiple-hypothesis testing was conducted using permutations (P(corrected)). We identified one region where genetic ancestry was significantly associated with breast cancer risk: 6q25 [odds ratio (OR) per Indigenous American chromosome 0.75, 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.65-0.85, P= 1.1 × 10(-5), P(corrected)= 0.02]. A second region on 11p15 showed a trend towards association (OR per Indigenous American chromosome 0.77, 95% CI: 0.68-0.87, P= 4.3 × 10(-5), P(corrected)= 0.08). In both regions, breast cancer risk decreased with higher Indigenous American ancestry in concordance with observations made on global ancestry. The peak of the 6q25 signal includes the estrogen receptor 1 (ESR1) gene and 5' region, a locus previously implicated in breast cancer. Genome-wide association analysis found that a multi-SNP model explained the admixture signal in both regions. Our results confirm that the association between genetic ancestry and breast cancer risk in US Latinas is partly due to genetic differences between populations of European and Indigenous Americans origin. Fine-mapping within the 6q25 and possibly the 11p15 loci will lead to the discovery of the biologically functional variant/s behind this association. 相似文献

Recently, a nonsense alteration Trp149Stop in the ARLTS1 gene was found more frequently in familial cancer cases versus sporadic cancer patients and healthy controls. Here, the role of Trp149Stop or any other ARLTS1 germline variant was evaluated on breast, prostate, and colorectal cancer risk. The whole gene was screened for germline alterations in 855 familial cancer patients. The five observed variants were further screened in 1169 non-familial cancer patients as well as in 809 healthy population controls. The Trp149Stop was found at low frequencies (0.5-1.2%) in all patient subgroups versus 1.6% in controls, and the mutant allele did not co-segregate with disease status in families with multiple affected individuals. The CC genotype in the Cys148Arg variant was slightly more common among both familial and sporadic breast (odds ratio (OR), 1.48; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.16-1.87; P=0.001) and prostate cancer patients (OR, 1.50; 95% CI, 1.13-1.99; P=0.005) when compared to controls. A novel ARLTS1 variant Gly65Val was found at higher frequency among familial prostate cancer patients (8 of 164, 4.9%) than in controls (13 of 809, 1.6%; OR, 3.14; 95% CI, 1.28-7.70, P=0.016). However, after adjusting for multiple testing, none of these results were still significant. No association was found with any of the variants and colorectal cancer risk. Our results suggest that Trp149Stop is not a predisposition allele in breast, prostate, or colorectal cancer in the Finnish population, and, while the Gly65Val variant may increase familial prostate cancer risk and the Cys148Arg change may affect both breast and prostate cancer risk, the evidence is not strong in these data. 相似文献

Major risk factors for developing prostate cancer, including positive family history and African-American ethnicity, can be quantified for genetic counseling. Factors increasing familial risk for prostate cancer are closer degree of kinship, number of affected relatives, and early age of onset (< 50 years) among the affected relatives. Genetic testing may be useful for modification of risk, but currently should be performed only within the context of a well-designed research study that will determine penetrance and genotype-phenotype correlation of specific mutations. Even in the absence of genetic testing, African-American men and men with a strong family history of prostate cancer may opt to initiate screening by prostate specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal exam (DRE) screening at age 40. 相似文献

The incidences of human diseases vary from place to place, andthis is also likely to be so for the risk of people developingmany of them. We have analysed the spatial distribution of childhoodcancer in the West Midland Health Authority Region of Englandfrom 1980 to 1984. This is a rare disease which is consideredto be noncontagious. The observed frequencies of the diseasein the electoral wards have been converted to proportions thatestimate the risk of a child's developing it. The spatial autocorrelationof the risk, expressed in the variogram, was determined in anovel way from the proportions within electoral wards by treatingthem as binomial variables dependent on the risk and the numbersof children in the wards. The observed variogram was modelledby Whittle's elementary two-dimensional correlation. Covariancesof the proportion and cross covariances between the proportionand the risk were derived, and from the latter and the proportionsthe risk was estimated in two ways by a form of cokriging: ordinaryand conditional unbiased cokriging. The variogram of the riskshows strong autocorrelation, and the kriged estimates, whenmapped, have a distribution that is far from even. There arepatches where the estimated risk is large, especially in therural south west and the suburban north east; and there areother patches, notably the more densely populated areas, whereit is small. 相似文献

Trans-ethnic fine mapping of a quantitative trait locus for circulating angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Circulating angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) levels are influenced by a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) that maps to the ACE gene. Phylogenetic and measured haplotype analyses have suggested that the ACE-linked QTL lies downstream of a putative ancestral breakpoint located near to position 6435. However, strong linkage disequilibrium between markers in the 3' portion of the gene has prevented further resolution of the QTL in Caucasian subjects. We have examined 10 ACE gene polymorphisms in Afro-Caribbean families recruited in JAMAICA: Variance components analyses showed strong evidence of linkage and association to circulating ACE levels. When the linkage results were contrasted with those from a set of British Caucasian families, there was no evidence for heterogeneity between the samples. However, patterns of allelic association between the markers and circulating ACE levels differed significantly in the two data sets. In the British families, three markers [G2215A, Alu insertion/deletion and G2350A] were in complete disequilibrium with the ACE-linked QTL. In the Jamaican families, only marker G2350A showed strong but incomplete disequilibrium with the ACE-linked QTL. These results suggest that additional unobserved polymorphisms have an effect on circulating ACE levels in Jamaican families. Furthermore, our results show that a variance components approach combined with structured, quantitative comparisons between families from different ethnic groups may be a useful strategy for helping to determine which, if any, variants in a small genomic region directly influence a quantitative trait. 相似文献

A restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) in DNA at the apolipoprotein B (apoB) locus detectable with the restriction enzyme XbaI involves the third base of threonin codon 2,488 (ACC ACT) (Priestley et al. 1985, Blackhart et al. 1986, Carlsson et al. 1986). The allele lacking the XbaI site (the X— allele) is associated with reduced levels of total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein (LDL) apoB and possibly triglycerides (Law et al. 1986, Berg 1986, Paulweber et al. 1990, Peacock et al. 1992). Paradoxically, the same allele has been reported to be more common in survivors of myocardial infarction (MI), patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), and patients with peripheral arterial disease, than in controls. In 4 out of 11 studies reported in the literature, there was a statistically significant association between the X — allele and atherosclerotic disease, and a trend towards association was present in all but one of the remaining studies (Table 1). 相似文献

Variation in major histocompatibility complex genes on chromosome 6p21.3, specifically the human leukocyte antigen HLA-DR2 or DRB1*1501-DQB1*0602 extended haplotype, confers risk for multiple sclerosis (MS). Previous studies of DRB1 variation and both MS susceptibility and phenotypic expression have lacked statistical power to detect modest genotypic influences, and have demonstrated conflicting results. Results derived from analyses of 1339 MS families indicate DRB1 variation influences MS susceptibility in a complex manner. DRB1*15 was strongly associated in families (P=7.8x10(-31)), and a dominant DRB1*15 dose effect was confirmed (OR=7.5, 95% CI=4.4-13.0, P<0.0001). A modest dose effect was also detected for DRB1*03; however, in contrast to DRB1*15, this risk was recessive (OR=1.8, 95% CI=1.1-2.9, P=0.03). Strong evidence for under-transmission of DRB1*14 (P=5.7x10(-6)) even after accounting for DRB1*15 (P=0.03) was present, confirming a protective effect. In addition, a high risk DRB1*15 genotype bearing DRB1*08 was identified (OR=7.7, 95% CI=4.1-14.4, P<0.0001), providing additional evidence for trans DRB1 allelic interactions in MS. Further, a significant DRB1*15 association observed in primary progressive MS families (P=0.0004), similar to relapsing-remitting MS families, suggests that DRB1-related mechanisms are contributing to both phenotypes. In contrast, results obtained from 2201 MS cases argue convincingly that DRB1*15 genotypes do not modulate age of onset, or significantly influence disease severity measured using expanded disease disability score and disease duration. These results contribute substantially to our understanding of the DRB1 locus and MS, and underscore the importance of using large sample sizes to detect modest genetic effects, particularly in studies of genotype-phenotype relationships. 相似文献

Previous linkage analysis of families with X-linked severe combinedimmunodeficiency (SCIDX1) mapped this locus to a large regionencompassing about 10 to 20 cM at Xq1221. We have analyzedin SCIDX1 families the segregation of 7 highly polymorphic microsatellitesrepeats localized to this region, including a new polymorphicmicrosatellite at the DXS135 locus described in this study,to refine the mapping of this disease locus. The observationsof genetic recombinants within the previously defined SCIDX1-regionallow us to establish new flanking markers at the DXS135 andDXS227 loci, which significantly reduce the region harboringthe SCIDX1 locus to a distance estimated between 3 to 5 cM.The existence of multiple, highly polymorphic markers in therefined SCIDX1 region will greatly improve the accuracy of carrierdetection and prenatal diagnosis for SCIDX1. 相似文献

Genetic polymorphisms have been reported in several cytochrome P450 (CYP) genes, including CYP1B1 which metabolically activates procarcinogens present in tobacco to carcinogenic intermediates. This study used a case–control approach in North Indian population to determine associations between genetic variants in CYP1B1 and risk of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma (HNSCC). We examined the genotype and haplotype frequencies at various single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including SNPs previously reported in the promoter region and intron 1 of CYP1B1 in Caucasians. Using cycle sequencing, 9 SNPs were identified in the promoter region, intron 1, and exons 2 and 3. Haplotype analysis revealed that 5 SNPs (those in the promoter region, intron, and Arg48Gly and Ala119Ser in exon 2) were in strong linkage disequilibrium (LD). Cases with the T–A–T–G–T haplotype were significantly associated with increased risk of HNSCC. Interestingly, qRT‐PCR studies revealed a significant increase in mRNA expression of CYP1B1 in peripheral blood isolated from cases with the T–A–T–G–T haplotype compared with cases with the C–G–C–C–G haplotype, and in cases compared to controls for both main haplotypes. The data thus provide evidence that CYP1B1 haplotypes could be more effective in predicting HNSCC risk. Environ. Mol. Mutagen. 58:443–450, 2017. © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. 相似文献

We previously reported linkage of a prostate cancer tumor aggressiveness locus to chromosome 7q32-q33, a region also associated with a high frequency of allelic imbalance in prostate tumors. The smallest region of allelic imbalance contains the podocalyxin-like (PODXL) gene, which we evaluate here as a candidate prostate cancer aggressiveness gene mapping to 7q32-q33. DNA from probands of linked families was examined for germ-line mutations in PODXL. A variable in-frame deletion, four missense variants and two nonsense variants were identified in linked men. Variants that affected amino acid sequence were further evaluated for association with risk of prostate cancer and tumor aggressiveness in a family-based case-control population (439 cases and 479 sibling controls). The presence of any single in-frame deletion was positively associated with prostate cancer [odds ratio (OR)=2.14, 95% confidence interval (95%CI)=1.09-4.20, P=0.03] and the presence of two copies of any deletion further increased risk (OR=2.58, 95%CI=1.23-5.45, P=0.01). This finding was strengthened when stratifying among men with more aggressive disease (high grade or stage): OR=3.04 for one deletion (95%CI=1.01-9.15) and OR=4.42 for two deletions (95%CI=1.32-14.85, P=0.02). A weak positive association was also observed between prostate cancer risk and PODXL variant 340A (in linkage disequilibrium with another variant, 587T) (OR=1.48, 95%CI=1.02-2.14, P=0.04). These results implicate PODXL as a candidate prostate cancer tumor aggressiveness gene mapping to chromosome 7q32-q33. 相似文献

Muscle strength is important in functional activities of daily living and the prevention of common pathologies. We describe the two-staged fine mapping of a previously identified linkage peak for knee strength on chr12q12-14. First, 209 tagSNPs in/around 74 prioritized genes were genotyped in 500 Caucasian brothers from the Leuven Genes for Muscular Strength study (LGfMS). Combined linkage and family-based association analyses identified activin receptor 1B (ACVR1B) and inhibin β C (INHBC), part of the transforming growth factor β pathway regulating myostatin - a negative regulator of muscle mass - signaling, for follow-up. Second, 33 SNPs, selected in these genes based on their likelihood to functionally affect gene expression/function, were genotyped in an extended sample of 536 LGfMS siblings. Strong associations between ACVR1B genotypes and knee muscle strength (P-values up to 0.00002) were present. Of particular interest was the association with rs2854464, located in a putative miR-24-binding site, as miR-24 was implicated in the inhibition of skeletal muscle differentiation. Rs2854464 AA individuals were ~2% stronger than G-allele carriers. The strength increasing effect of the A-allele was also observed in an independent replication sample (n=266) selected from the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging and a Flemish Policy Research Centre Sport, Physical Activity and Health study. However, no genotype-related difference in ACVR1B mRNA expression in quadriceps muscle was observed. In conclusion, we applied a two-stage fine mapping approach, and are the first to identify and partially replicate genetic variants in the ACVR1B gene that account for genetic variation in human muscle strength. 相似文献

VRK1 is a novel human putative serine/threonine kinase, and is located on chromosome 14 at band q32 where an autosomal recessive
congenital microphthalmia (CMIC) is mapped. We isolated a polymorphic dinucleotide CA repeat marker from a genomic clone containing
the human VRK1 gene. This polymorphism will be useful in genetic studies of disorders localized at the 14q32 region, such as CMIC.
