Genetic insights into ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine.
eLife ·doi:10.7554/elife.86514

Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the spine (OPLL) is an intractable disease leading to severe neurological deficits. Its etiology and pathogenesis are primarily unknown. The relationship between OPLL and comorbidities,…

Identification of a novel uterine leiomyoma GWAS locus in a Japanese population.
Scientific reports ·doi:10.1038/s41598-020-58066-8

Uterine leiomyoma is one of the most common gynaecologic benign tumours, but its genetic basis remains largely unknown. Six previous GWAS identified 33 genetic factors in total. Here, we performed a two-staged GWAS using 13,746 cases and 70…

Large-scale genome-wide association study in a Japanese population identifies novel susceptibility loci across different diseases.
Nature genetics ·doi:10.1038/s41588-020-0640-3

The overwhelming majority of participants in current genetic studies are of European ancestry. To elucidate disease biology in the East Asian population, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 212,453 Japanese individuals …
