Genetic variants in five novel loci including CFB and CD40 predispose to chronic hepatitis B
AssociationN=6,033Jiang DK et al.(2015)· Hepatology

A genome-wide association study of 83 plasma proteins relevant to cardiovascular disease in 3,394 European subjects identified 79 genome-wide significant loci (p<5e-8), with 55 replicating in independent cohorts (n=2,639). Using eQTL analysis and network methods, the authors proposed plausible causal mechanisms for 25 trans-acting loci including post-translational regulation of KITLG by MMP9 and several receptor-ligand pairs. Multiple loci showed evidence of causal association with coronary artery disease risk.

About SNX17

This gene encodes a member of the sorting nexin family. Members of this family contain a phox (PX) domain, which is a phosphoinositide binding domain, and are involved in intracellular trafficking. This protein does not contain a coiled coil region, like some family members, but contains a B41 domain. This protein interacts with the cytoplasmic domain of P-selectin, and may function in the intracellular trafficking of P-selectin. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2012]
