From GWAS to function: lessons from blood cells
Haematopoiesis, or the process of formation of mature blood cells from committed progenitors, represents an accessible and well-studied paradigm of cell differentiation and lineage specification. Genetic association studies provide a powerful approach to discover new genes, biological pathways and mechanisms underlying haematopoietic development. Here, we highlight recent findings of genomewide...
متن کاملTake your PICS: moving from GWAS to immune function.
Many of the hits identified through genome-wide association studies are located outside protein-coding regions, making it difficult to define mechanism. In Nature, Farh et al., (2014) describe an approach to identify causal variants in autoimmune disease as first step to assigning function.
متن کاملFrom GWAS to function: genetic variation in sodium channel gene enhancer influences electrical patterning.
The electrical activity of the heart depends on the correct interplay between key transcription factors and cis-regulatory elements, which together regulate the proper heterogeneous expression of genes encoding for ion channels and other proteins. Genome-wide association studies of ECG parameters implicated genetic variants in the genes for these factors and ion channels modulating conduction a...
متن کاملFunction and Aggressive Disease The 19q12 Bladder Cancer GWAS Signal: Association with Cyclin E
A genome-wide association study (GWAS) of bladder cancer identified a genetic marker rs8102137 within the 19q12 region as a novel susceptibility variant. This marker is located upstream of the CCNE1 gene, which encodes cyclin E, a cell-cycle protein. We performed genetic fine-mapping analysis of the CCNE1 region using data from two bladder cancer GWAS (5,942 cases and 10,857 controls). We found...
