27333618 | Sekula | 2017 | Discovery: 323 MGN, 345 non-MGN Sex-replication: Men: 222 MGN/106 non-MGN Women: 101 MGN/239 non-MGN MGN replication: 137 MGN from GCKD, 379 non-MGN | Caucasian | HumanCNV370-Quad SNP chip HumanHap300 SNP chip Discovery: 8.9 million and classical HLA alleles Replication: HLA-DQA1 and PLA2R1 | Two previously reported variants in PLA2R1 and HLA-DQA1 reached genome-wide significance with MGN No additional signals in the pre-replication cohort when separated by men and women Both SNPs were replicated PLA2R1 was only associated with MGN, but no other CKD aetiology after correction for multiple testing A significant association of the HLA-DQA1 risk variant was observed not only with MGN, but also with lupus nephritis (p = 2.8·10−6), CKD in T1DM (p = 6.9·10−5) and FSGS (p = 5.1·10−5) No association with IgAN |
26028593 | Li | 2015 | Combined: 8313 IgAN, 19680 non-IgAN | Han Chinese | GWAMA | Detected novel associations at ST6GAL1 (rs7634389, p = 7.27 × 10−10), ACCS (rs2074038, p = 3.93 × 10−9) and ODF1-KLF10 (rs2033562, p = 1.41 × 10−9) Validated a previously reported association at ITGAX-ITGAM (rs7190997, p = 2.26 × 10−19) Identified multiple independent signals in DEFA locus (rs2738058, p = 1.15 × 10−19; rs12716641, p = 9.53 × 10−9; rs9314614, p = 4.25 × 10−9) |
25305756 | Kiryluk | 2014 | Discovery: 2747 IgAN, 3952 non-IgAN controls Replication: 4911 IgAN, 9002 non-IgAN | Asian European American | GWAMA Imputation for > 1 million common SNPs | All variants with p-value < 5 × 10−5 in the discovery taken forward into the replication analysis Combined meta-analysis of discovery and replication identified 6 novel variants reaching genome-wide significance Four SNPs in 3 novel loci (VAV3, CARD9 and ITGAM-ITGAX) were identified, as well as novel a novel SNP in two previously reported regions, HLA-DQ/DR and DEFA Confirmed association of SNPs in HLA-DQ/DR, TAP1/PSMB8, HLA-DP, CFHR3, DEFA, TNFSF and HORMAD2 |
22737082 | Kiryluk | 2012 | 8 individual cohorts, combined: 2228 IgAN, 2561 non-IgAN controls | European East Asian African-American | Illumina HumanCNV370-duo Chip | Replication of previous study by Gharavi et al. (2011) Genotyped 12 SNPs in five loci: CFHR3/R1, TAP2/PSMB9, HLA-DPA1/DPB2, HORMAD2 and HLA-DQB1/DRB1 Ten out of 12 SNPs showed significant association with IgAN, but SNPs in the TAP2/PSMB9 did not However, all 12 reached genome-wide significance in a meta-analysis of these cohorts and those previously assessed by Ghavari et al. (2011) |
21323541 | Stanescu | 2011 | French study: 75 MGN, 157 non-MGN Dutch study: 146 MGN, 1832 non-MGN British study: 335 MGN, 349 non-MGN All racially matched | Caucasian | HumanCNV370-Quad SNP chip French: 315,049 SNPs Dutch: 282,440 SNPs British: 281,009 SNPs | French study: Three SNPs (rs2187668, rs9273327 and rs9272192) in HLA-DQA1 showed significant association with MGN (p = 1.8 × 10−9, p = 1.7 × 10−9, and p = 5.9 × 10−10, respectively) Dutch study: MGN associated with rs2187668 in HLA-DQA1 and a total of 191 SNPs within the extended HLA locus showed significant associations with MGN. Six SNPs within PLA2R1 also showed association with MGN, all of which reached genome-wide significance (p < 5 × 10−8) British study: rs2187668 in HLA-DQA1 showed significant association with MGN (p = 5.2 × 10−36) and a further 144 SNPs within the extended HLA locus showed significant association with MGN Two SNPs, rs4664308 and rs187010, showed significant association with PLA2R1 (p = 2.1 × 10−10 and p = 8.2 × 10−10, respectively) Combined analysis of all cohorts showed that strongest associations were found in the HLA-DQA1 and PLA2R1 genes |
21399633 | Gharavi | 2011 | Discovery: 1194 IgAN 902 non-IgAN controls Replication: 1950 IgAN, 1920 non-IgAN controls | Discovery: Han Chinese Replication: Chinese and European | Illumina 610 Quad Platform | Twenty-seven SNPs reached genome-wide significance in the discovery analysis, all of which were found within the MHC locus on chromosome 6 Sixty-seven SNPs in 10 other distinct loci showed nominal significance (p < 1.3 × 10−5) and the top 20 with the lowest p-values were taken forward for follow-up Five SNPs reached genome-wide significance in the replication analysis: The strongest variant showing strongest association with IgAN was rs9275596 (p = 1.6 × 10−26), which is found in a region containing the HLA-DRB1/DQA1/DQB1 locus Variant rs9357155 was significantly associated with region containing TAP2, TAP1, PSMB8 and PSMB9 genes (p = 6.9 × 10−9) Genome-wide significance was also reached for variant rs9275596 in the HLA-DPA1/DPB1/DPB2 gene region (p = 3.1 × 10−8) Variant rs6677604 in the CFH region containing the CHFR1, CHFR2, CHFR3, CHFR4 and CHFR5 genes showed significance association with IgAN (p = 3.0 × 10−10) The final variant reaching genome-wide significance was rs2412971 in the HORMAD2 gene |
