Abstract Fibromyalgia is a common and debilitating chronic pain syndrome of poorly understood etiology. Here, we conduct a multi-ancestry genome-wide association study meta-analysis across 2,563,755 individuals (54,629 cases and 2,509,126 controls) from 11 cohorts, identifying the first 26 risk...

Many disease-associated variants are thought to be regulatory but are not present in existing catalogues of expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL). We hypothesise that these variants may regulate expression in specific biological contexts, such as stimulated immune cells. Here, we used human...

GWAS highlights the neuronal contribution to multiple sclerosis susceptibility https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11643295/ Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory and neurodegenerative disease affecting the brain and spinal cord. Genetic studies have identified many risk loci...

Abstract Inherited deficiency of zinc finger NFX1-type containing 1 (ZNFX1), a dsRNA virus sensor, is associated with severe familial immunodeficiency, multisystem inflammatory disease, increased susceptibility to viruses, and early mortality. However, limited treatments for patients with...

Title: Multi-omic insights from a multi-ancestry genome-wide meta-analysis of ankylosing spondylitis reveal novel pathways of disease susceptibility Authors: Matthew Brown, Zhixiu Li, Xin Wu, Nicholas Harvey, Jose Garrido-Mesa, Xiaobing Wang, Zhihao Xu, Geng Wang, Helena Marzo-Ortega, Dennis...

For the past month or so I've been working on a project. It's a website for logging genes that were significant from studies on ME/CFS, meant to make it easier to compare genes that are replicated in multiple studies. You can take a look at https://sickgenes.xyz Screenshot: In essence, it's...
