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 …

Genome wide association study of age at menarche in the Japanese population.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0063821

Age at menarche (AAM) is a complex trait involving both genetic and environmental factors. To identify the genetic factors associated with AAM, we conducted a large-scale meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies using more than 15,0…

Impact of PSCA variation on gastric ulcer susceptibility.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0063698

Peptic ulcer is one of the most common gastrointestinal disorders with complex etiology. Recently we conducted the genome wide association study for duodenal ulcer and identified disease susceptibility variations at two genetic loci corresp…
