Integrative screening identifies functional variants and VNTRs underlying GWAS signals at the 5p15.33 multi-cancer susceptibility locus

Aidan O’Brien, Hyunkyung Kong, Harsh Patel…·Laufey Thora Amundadottir

The paper identifies functional variants and VNTRs at the 5p15.33 locus using fine-mapping, MPRA, and CRISPRi screens, revealing their role in cancer susceptibility through antagonistic pleiotropy.

Genetic regulation of TERT splicing contributes to reduced or elevated cancer risk by altering cellular longevity and replicative potential

Oscar Flórez-Vargas, Michelle Ho, Maxwell H. Hogshead…·Ludmila Prokunina‐Olsson

This study identifies VNTR6-1 and rs10069690 as regulators of TERT splicing and expression, influencing cancer risk and telomere dynamics through altered telomerase isoform ratios.

Genetic regulation of OAS1 nonsense-mediated decay underlies association with risk of severe COVID-19

Abdul Rouf Banday, Megan Lynn Stanifer, Oscar Flórez-Vargas…·Ludmila Prokunina‐Olsson

The paper identifies a Neandertal introgressed haplotype in the OAS1 gene associated with increased risk of severe COVID-19 and shows it impairs SARS-CoV-2 clearance through genetic regulation of OAS1 expression.
