Local ancestry-aware genome-wide meta-analysis uncovers novel genetic loci for sickle cell disease nephropathy

Melanie E. Garrett, Seyed Mehdi Nouraie, Roberto F. Machado, Victor R. Gordeuk, Mark T. Gladwin, Marilyn J. Telen, Allison E. Ashley‐Koch, Gonçalo Abecasis, François Aguet, Christine Albert, Laura Almasy, Álvaro Alonso, Seth Ament, Peter Anderson, Pramod Anugu, , Mao Fu

This paper performs a local ancestry-aware GWAS on SCD cohorts to identify novel genetic loci associated with eGFR, uncovering regions linked to inflammation, ECM integrity, and other pathways relevant to SCD nephropathy.

Cross-cohort analysis of expression and splicing quantitative trait loci in TOPMed

Peter Orchard, Thomas W. Blackwell, Linda Kachuri, Peter J. Castaldi, Michael H. Cho, Stephanie A. Christenson, Peter Durda, Stacey Gabriel, Craig P. Hersh, Scott Huntsman, S.-J. Hwang, Roby Joehanes, Mari Johnson, Xingnan Li, Honghuang Lin, , Jeffrey L. Curtis

The paper analyzes expression and splicing quantitative trait loci (e/sQTL) across multiple tissues in the TOPMed dataset and finds that secondary e/sQTL signals are still discoverable, with many GWAS signals colocalizing with these e/sQTL.
