Genetics of rheumatoid arthritis contributes to biology and drug discovery

Yukinori Okada, +115 more
- 20 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: A genome-wide association study meta-analysis in a total of >100,000 subjects of European and Asian ancestries provides empirical evidence that the genetics of RA can provide important information for drug discovery, and sheds light on fundamental genes, pathways and cell types that contribute to RA pathogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Gene-Based Association Method for Mapping Traits Using Reference Transcriptome Data

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that PrediXcan can detect known and new genes associated with disease traits and provide insights into the mechanism of these associations.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic associations at 53 loci highlight cell types and biological pathways relevant for kidney function

Cristian Pattaro, +735 more
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies for estimated glomerular filtration rate suggests that genetic determinants of eGFR are mediated largely through direct effects within the kidney and highlight important cell types and biological pathways.
