The association with A*33:01 was mediated by large effects for terbinafine-, fenofibrate-, and ticlopidine-related DILI. The variant on chromosome 2 was associated with DILI from a variety of drugs. Further phenotypic analysis indicated that the association between DILI and A*33:01 was significant genome wide for cholestatic and mixed DILI, but not for hepatocellular DILI; the polymorphism on chromosome 2 was associated with cholestatic and mixed DILI as well as hepatocellular DILI. We identified an association between rs28521457 (within the lipopolysaccharide-responsive vesicle trafficking, beach and anchor containing gene) and only hepatocellular DILI (OR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.6-2.7; P = 4.8 × 10-9). We did not associate any specific drug classes with genetic polymorphisms, except for statin-associated DILI, which was associated with rs116561224 on chromosome 18 (OR, 5.4; 95% CI, 3.0-9.5; P = 7.1 × 10-9). We validated the association between A*33:01 terbinafine- and sertraline-induced DILI. We could not validate the association between DILI and rs72631567, rs28521457, or rs116561224. Conclusions In a GWAS of persons of European descent with DILI, we associated HLA-A*33:01 with DILI due to terbinafine and possibly fenofibrate and ticlopidine. We identified polymorphisms that appear to be associated with DILI from statins, as well as 2 non-drug-specific risk factors.]]> Wed 27 Feb 2019 09:54:18 AEDT ]]> Biological insights from 108 schizophrenia-associated genetic loci https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21465 DRD2 and several genes involved in glutamatergic neurotransmission highlight molecules of known and potential therapeutic relevance to schizophrenia, and are consistent with leading pathophysiological hypotheses. Independent of genes expressed in brain, associations were enriched among genes expressed in tissues that have important roles in immunity, providing support for the speculated link between the immune system and schizophrenia.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:52:31 AEDT ]]> Schizophrenia risk from complex variation of complement component 4 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30050 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:31:15 AEDT ]]> LD score regression distinguishes confounding from polygenicity in genome-wide association studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28311 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:27:06 AEDT ]]> Partitioning heritability by functional annotation using genome-wide association summary statistics https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23306 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:16:19 AEDT ]]>
