Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is a common autoimmune disorder that arises from the action of multiple genetic and environmental risk factors. We report the findings of a genome-wide association study of T1D, combined in a meta-analysis with two previously published studies. The total sample set included 7,514 cases and 9,045 reference samples. Forty-one distinct genomic locations provided evidence for association with T1D in the meta-analysis (P < 10(-6)). After excluding previously reported associations, we further tested 27 regions in an independent set of 4,267 cases, 4,463 controls and 2,319 affected sib-pair (ASP) families. Of these, 18 regions were replicated (P < 0.01; overall P < 5 × 10(-8)) and 4 additional regions provided nominal evidence of replication (P < 0.05). The many new candidate genes suggested by these results include IL10, IL19, IL20, GLIS3, CD69 and IL27.
1 型糖尿病(T1D)是一种常见的自身免疫性疾病,由多种遗传和环境风险因素共同作用引起。我们报告了一项 T1D 的全基因组关联研究结果,该研究与之前发表的两项研究进行了荟萃分析。总样本集包括 7514 例病例和 9045 例对照样本。荟萃分析中,有 41 个不同的基因组位置提供了与 T1D 相关的证据(P < 10(-6))。在排除了先前报道的关联后,我们在独立的 4267 例病例、4463 例对照和 2319 对患病同胞(ASP)家族的样本中进一步测试了 27 个区域。其中,18 个区域得到了复制(P < 0.01;总体 P < 5 × 10(-8)),另外 4 个区域提供了名义上的复制证据(P < 0.05)。这些结果提示了许多新的候选基因,包括 IL10、IL19、IL20、GLIS3、CD69 和 IL27。
