Genome-Wide Haplotype Analysis of Cis Expression Quantitative Trait Loci in Monocytes
2013
In order to assess whether gene expression variability could be influenced by several SNPs acting in cis, either through additive or more complex haplotype effects, a systematic genome-wide search for cis haplotype expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) was conducted in a sample of 758 individuals, part of the Cardiogenics Transcriptomic Study, for which genome-wide monocyte expression and GWAS data were available. 19,805 RNA probes were assessed for cis haplotypic regulation through investigation of ∼2,1×109 haplotypic combinations. 2,650 probes demonstrated haplotypic p-values >104-fold smaller than the best single SNP p-value. Replication of significant haplotype effects were tested f…
Genome wide association analysis in dilated cardiomyopathy reveals two new key players in systolic heart failure on chromosome 3p25.1 and 22q11.23
2020
SummaryWe present the results of the largest genome wide association study (GWAS) performed so far in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a leading cause of systolic heart failure and cardiovascular death, with 2,719 cases and 4,440 controls in the discovery population. We identified and replicated two new DCM-associated loci, one on chromosome 3p25.1 (lead SNP rs62232870, p = 8.7 × 10−11 and 7.7 × 10−4 in the discovery and replication step, respectively) and the second on chromosome 22q11.23 (lead SNP rs7284877, p = 3.3 × 10−8 and 1.4 × 10−3 in the discovery and replication step, respectively) while confirming two previously identified DCM loci on chromosome 10 and 1, BAG3 and HSPB7. The genetic…
Genome-wide association analysis in dilated cardiomyopathy reveals two new players in systolic heart failure on chromosomes 3p25.1 and 22q11.23
2021
Abstract Aims Our objective was to better understand the genetic bases of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), a leading cause of systolic heart failure. Methods and results We conducted the largest genome-wide association study performed so far in DCM, with 2719 cases and 4440 controls in the discovery population. We identified and replicated two new DCM-associated loci on chromosome 3p25.1 [lead single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs62232870, P = 8.7 × 10−11 and 7.7 × 10−4 in the discovery and replication steps, respectively] and chromosome 22q11.23 (lead SNP rs7284877, P = 3.3 × 10−8 and 1.4 × 10−3 in the discovery and replication steps, respectively), while confirming two previously identif…
