Motivation: Fine-mapping aims to prioritize causal variants underlying complex traits by accounting for the linkage disequilibrium of GWAS risk locus. The expanding resources of functional annotations serve as auxiliary evidence to improve the power of fine-mapping. However, existing fine-mapping methods tend to generate many false positive results when integrating a large number of annotations.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is an immune-related skin disease with a genetic background. Numerous loci have been identified associated with AD to better comprehend its complicated genetic mechanisms by genome‑wide association studies (GWASs). However, current studies reveal the underlying mechanisms of these loci in the pathogenesis of AD inadequately.

Background: The clinically high comorbidity between polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and breast cancer (BC) has been extensively reported. However, limited knowledge exists regarding their shared genetic basis and underlying mechanisms.

Method: Leveraging summary statistics from the largest genome-wide association studies (GWASs) to date, we conducted a comprehensive genome-wide cross-trait analysis of PCOS and BC.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates the relationship between autoimmune diseases and schizophrenia through a Mendelian randomization analysis in individuals of European descent, addressing previous conflicting findings.
  • Results suggest that ankylosing spondylitis increases the risk of schizophrenia, while celiac disease, type 1 diabetes, and systemic lupus erythematosus may decrease it; conversely, schizophrenia is related to higher risks of some autoimmune conditions.
  • The research highlights a potential causal connection between autoimmune diseases and schizophrenia, emphasizing the need for further studies to explore the underlying mechanisms.

Proteome-wide association studies for blood lipids and comparison with transcriptome-wide association studies.

Blood lipid traits are treatable and heritable risk factors for heart disease, a leading cause of mortality worldwide. Although genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have discovered hundreds of variants associated with lipids in humans, most of the causal mechanisms of lipids remain unknown. To better understand the biological processes underlying lipid metabolism, we investigated the associations of plasma protein levels with total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol in blood.
