Genome-wide Association Study for the Identification of Genetic Risk Factors of Periodontitis
Final Report Abstract
This research project conducted a GWAS and meta-analyses of PD and CAD to identify novel genetic risk variants. Four novel risk loci with genome-wide significance (P < 5 10E-08) were identified (DEFA1A3, SIGLEC5, LOC107964137, MTND1P5), and the associations of two additional loci were validated (VAMP8, PLG). In addition, the shared genetic basis of PD and CAD was confirmed and expanded. This study did not give evidence for a shared genetic basis of RA and T2D with PD. Furthermore, genotyping of 600 AgP cases and 6.940 German controls with the Illumina HumanExome chip 12v1 could not identify nonsynonymous PD risk alleles with large effect sizes. The identification and characterization of putative causative variants of PD is ongoing. CNV analyses for the copy number variable locus DEF1A3 suggested a single overrepresented haplotype that might increase PD risk. In current works, we are matching our SNP and CNV data and aim phasing the SNP and CNV haplotypes computationally. Additionally, we performed a G x S interaction study and give evidence that genetic variants at the genes SOST, SSH1, ST8SIA1, and BMP7 increase the disease susceptibility for AgP by interaction with cigarette smoke.
