Cases were defined as having >0.75 diopters of corneal astigmatism. Methods A meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of corneal astigmatism undertaken for 14 European ancestry (n=22,250) and 8 Asian ancestry (n=9,120) cohorts was performed by the Consortium for Refractive Error and Myopia. Purpose To identify genes and genetic markers associated with corneal astigmatism. Subsequent gene-based and gene-set analyses of the meta-analyzed results of European ancestry cohorts we.

By combining data from >140,000 individuals of European ancestry within the Global Urate Genetics Consortium (GUGC), we identified and replicated 28 genome-wide significant loci in association with Gieger, C.Įlevated serum urate concentrations can cause gout, a prevalent and painful inflammatory arthritis. Genome-wide association analyses identify 18 new loci associated with serum urate concentrations
