DESCRIPTION:

List of positional candidate genes after correcting for multiple testing and controlling the false discovery rate from genome wide association studies (GWAS) retrieved from the NHGRI-EBI Catalog of published genome-wide association studies (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/gwas/). The disease/trait examined in this study, as reported by the authors, was Red blood cell count. The EFO term erythrocyte count was annotated to this set after curation by NHGRI-EBI. Intergenic SNPS were mapped to both the upstream and downstream gene. P-value uploaded. This gene set was generated using gwas2gs v. 0.1.8 and the GWAS Catalog v. 1.0.1.

TITLE:

Genome-wide association study of hematological and biochemical traits in a Japanese population.

JOURNAL:

Nature genetics Mar 2010, Vol 42, pp. 210-5

ABSTRACT:

We report genome-wide association studies for hematological and biochemical traits from approximately 14,700 Japanese individuals. We identified 60 associations for 8 hematological traits and 29 associations for 12 biochemical traits at genome-wide significance levels (P < 5 x 10(-8)). Of these, 46 associations were new to this study and 43 replicated previous reports. We compared these associated loci with those reported in similar GWAS in European populations. When the minor allele frequency was >10% in the Japanese population, 32 (94.1%) and 31 (91.2%) of the 34 hematological loci previously reported to be associated in a European population were replicated with P-values less than 0.05 and 0.01, respectively, and 31 (73.8%) and 27 (64.3%) of the 42 European biochemical loci were replicated.
