Genetic variants at CD28, PRDM1, and CD2/CD58 are associated with rheumatoid arthritis risk
To discover novel RA risk loci, we systematically examined 370 SNPs from 179 independent loci with p<0.001 in a published meta-analysis of RA GWAS of 3,393 cases and 12,462 controls(1). We used GRAIL(2), a computational method that applies statistical text mining to PubMed abstracts, to score the...

Sumario: | To discover novel RA risk loci, we systematically examined 370 SNPs from 179 independent loci with p<0.001 in a published meta-analysis of RA GWAS of 3,393 cases and 12,462 controls(1). We used GRAIL(2), a computational method that applies statistical text mining to PubMed abstracts, to score these 179 loci for functional relationships to genes in 16 established RA disease loci(1,3-11). We identified 22 loci with a significant degree of functional connectivity. We genotyped 22 representative SNPs in an independent set of 7,957 cases and 11,958 matched controls. Three validate convincingly: CD2/CD58 (rs11586238, p=1×10(−6) replication, p=1×10(−9) overall), and CD28 (rs1980422, p=5×10(−6) replication, p=1×10(−9) overall), PRDM1 (rs548234, p=1×10(−5) replication, p=2×10(−8) overall). An additional four replicate (p<0.0023): TAGAP (rs394581, p=0.0002 replication, p=4×10(−7) overall), PTPRC (rs10919563, p=0.0003 replication, p=7×10(−7) overall), TRAF6/RAG1 (rs540386, p=0.0008 replication, p=4×10(−6) overall), and FCGR2A (rs12746613, p=0.0022 replication, p=2×10(−5) overall). Many of these loci are also associated to other immunologic diseases. |
