TLDR
By refining the analysis of a PSC GWAS by parallel assessments in a UC GWAS, this work was able to detect two novel risk loci at genome‐wide significance levels that may represent previously unexplored aspects of PSC pathogenesis.

Primary sclerosing cholangitis

TL;DR: The role of environmental factors in generation of lymphocytes that are postulated to be retargeted, deleteriously, to the biliary tree has been investigated in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Primary sclerosing cholangitis - a comprehensive review.

TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the status of the PSC field is provided, emphasise developments related to patient stratification and disease behaviour, and provides an overview of management options from a practical, patient-centered perspective.
Journal ArticleDOI

ACG Clinical Guideline: Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis.

TL;DR: Primary sclerosing cholangitis is a chronic cholestatic liver disease that can shorten life and may require liver transplantation and ursodeoxycholic acid is used by many on an empirical basis.

Patient Age, Sex, and Inflammatory Bowel Disease Phenotype Associate With Course of Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Tobias J. Weismüller, +69 more

TL;DR: In an analysis of data from individual patients with PSC worldwide, significant variation in clinical course associated with age at diagnosis, sex, and ductal and IBD subtypes is found.

Dense genotyping of immune-related disease regions identifies nine new risk loci for primary sclerosing cholangitis

Jimmy Z. Liu, +95 more

TL;DR: This analysis compared 3,789 PSC cases of European ancestry to 25,079 population controls across 130,422 SNPs genotyped using the Immunochip to identify 12 genome-wide significant associations outside the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) complex, 9 of which were new, increasing the number of known PSC risk loci to 16.

PLINK: A Tool Set for Whole-Genome Association and Population-Based Linkage Analyses

TL;DR: This work introduces PLINK, an open-source C/C++ WGAS tool set, and describes the five main domains of function: data management, summary statistics, population stratification, association analysis, and identity-by-descent estimation, which focuses on the estimation and use of identity- by-state and identity/descent information in the context of population-based whole-genome studies.

Principal components analysis corrects for stratification in genome-wide association studies

TL;DR: This work describes a method that enables explicit detection and correction of population stratification on a genome-wide scale and uses principal components analysis to explicitly model ancestry differences between cases and controls.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic control for association studies.

TL;DR: The performance of the genomic control method is quite good for plausible effects of liability genes, which bodes well for future genetic analyses of complex disorders.

Classification of inflammatory bowel disease.

TL;DR: Infection, ischaemia, physical damage, or specific immunologic sensitivity should be excluded as far as possible before a diagnosis of non-specific inflammatory bowel disease is made.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of six ulcerative colitis genome-wide association study datasets found many candidate genes that provide potentially important insights into disease pathogenesis, including IL1R2, IL8RA-IL8RB, IL7R, IL12B, DAP, PRDM1, JAK2, IRF5, GNA12 and LSP1.
