- W3207304562 abstract "Abstract Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a major form of inflammatory bowel disease with increasing global incidence. There is significant phenotypic heterogeneity defined by a range of clinical variables including age of onset and disease extent. Clinical outcomes range from long-term remission on minimal therapy to surgical resection. Close to 70% of UC risk can be attributed to genetics and understanding the genetic mechanisms contributing to this risk and disease heterogeneity is vital for understanding disease pathogenesis and improving patient outcomes through targeted screening and therapies. This study aims to characterise the genetic heterogeneity of UC by identifying genomic risk variants specific to mild and/or severe forms of UC, exploring variations in the effect size of known risk variants and assessing the clinical value of a genetic risk score (GRS). We conducted genome-wide association (GWA) analyses in 287 patients with mild UC, 311 patients with severe UC and 583 age- and gender-matched controls. Odds ratios (OR) for mild vs control, severe vs control and combined mild and severe UC vs control were calculated. Using the combined UC data, two independent loci in the HLA region reached genome-wide significance. An additional genome-wide significant signal on chromosome 1 was identified in severe cases only. OR for known risk loci varied between mild and severe patients and were similar to previously published results. Effect estimates from the most recent UC GWA meta-analysis were used to calculate a GRS for each individual. A higher mean GRS was observed in both mild and severe UC cases compared to controls however, there was no difference between the mean GRS for mild and severe UC. Heterogeneity in effect sizes of UC associated variants between mild and severe disease burden suggests the presence of genetically distinct signatures. While large consortium data are needed to identify genome-wide significant variants, additional risk loci may be identified by targeted recruitment of individuals with a history of severe disease. Author Summary Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and often debilitating form of inflammatory bowel disease affecting approximately 0.3% of the population in industrialized economies. The disease displays significant clinical heterogeneity including age at presentation, disease severity, and the propensity to develop disease-related complications. Several previous studies have demonstrated the heritability of UC, identifying over 30 loci specific to the disease. The majority of these loci have small to modest effect sizes other than those within the Human Leucocyte Antigen (HLA) region on chromosome 6. Using stringent clinical criteria for defining mild and severe forms of UC in an extremes of phenotype approach, we undertook a genome wide association study in a dataset of 1222 participants to investigate genetic heterogeneity in this disease. We demonstrated substantial differences in genetic associations in severe UC as compared to mild UC. While over 2,000 SNPs achieved genome-wide significance in the severe UC analysis, none reached significance for mild UC. These results were reflected in significant differences in odds ratios. We identified Complement Factor B (CFB) as a potential susceptibility gene for severe UC in the Caucasian population with additional tissue gene expression demonstrating a positive correlation with disease severity." @default.
