Genome-wide association study implicates immune activation of multiple integrin genes in inflammatory bowel disease

…, NA Kennedy, L Jostins, DL Rice, J Gutierrez-Achury… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Genetic association studies have identified 215 risk loci for inflammatory bowel disease 1 ,
2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , thereby uncovering fundamental aspects of its molecular biology. We …

Bayesian inference analyses of the polygenic architecture of rheumatoid arthritis

EA Stahl, D Wegmann, G Trynka, J Gutierrez-Achury… - Nature …, 2012 - nature.com
The genetic architectures of common, complex diseases are largely uncharacterized. We
modeled the genetic architecture underlying genome-wide association study (GWAS) data for …

Dense genotyping of immune-related disease regions identifies nine new risk loci for primary sclerosing cholangitis

…, IR König, K Hveem, I Cleynen, J Gutierrez-Achury… - Nature …, 2013 - nature.com
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a severe liver disease of unknown etiology leading to
fibrotic destruction of the bile ducts and ultimately to the need for liver transplantation 1 , 2 , …

Genome-wide association study of primary sclerosing cholangitis identifies new risk loci and quantifies the genetic relationship with inflammatory bowel disease

…, EM Schlicht, JZ Liu, T Shah, J Gutierrez-Achury… - Nature …, 2017 - nature.com
Primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) is a rare progressive disorder leading to bile duct

Widespread non-additive and interaction effects within HLA loci modulate the risk of autoimmune diseases

…, DD Gladman, I Gockel, J Gutierrez-Achury, J Martin… - Nature …, 2015 - nature.com
Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes confer substantial risk for autoimmune diseases on
a log-additive scale. Here we speculated that differences in autoantigen-binding repertoires …

genotyped for allele j … We thank J. Senior for carefully reading the manuscript and C. Gonzalez-…

Improving coeliac disease risk prediction by testing non-HLA variants additional to HLA variants

…, G Trynka, L Franke, A Szperl, J Gutierrez-Achury… - Gut, 2014 - gut.bmj.com
Background The majority of coeliac disease (CD) patients are not being properly diagnosed
and therefore remain untreated, leading to a greater risk of developing CD-associated …
