▶Genome-wide association study identified the human leukocyte antigen region as a novel locus for plasma beta-2 microglobulinAssociationN=6,738Adrienne Tin et al.(2013)· Human Genetics
Genome-wide association study of plasma beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) levels in 6,738 European Americans identified two genome-wide significant loci: the HLA region on chromosome 6 (rs9264638, p=1.8×10⁻²³) and SH2B3 on chromosome 12 (rs3184504, p=3.1×10⁻⁸). Six index SNPs in the HLA region accounted for 3.2% of log(B2M) variance and their associations were largely explained by imputed classical HLA alleles (HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C). The HLA locus was not associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate, while the SH2B3 locus had previously been implicated as an eGFR locus, confirming B2M as a kidney function biomarker.
