▶Propensity score‐based nonparametric test revealing genetic variants underlying bipolar disorderMethodsN=5,002Yuan Jiang et al.(2011)· Genetic Epidemiology
This methods paper presents a propensity score-based nonparametric test for genetic association that adjusts for covariates using genomic propensity scores. Applied to 1,998 bipolar disorder cases and 3,004 controls from the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium, the method identified three SNPs on chromosome 16 (rs2387823, rs1344485, rs11647459; p < 5×10⁻⁷) in strong linkage disequilibrium near RPGRIP1L that were missed by standard unadjusted methods, demonstrating that covariate-adjusted approaches can reveal genetic variants underlying bipolar disorder.
About LAMP3
This gene encodes lysosome-associated membrane glycoprotein 3, a type 1 integral membrane protein that belongs to a family of lysosome associated membrane proteins which form part of the glycoconjugate coat present on the inside of the lysosomal membrane. It is predominantly expressed in mature dendritic cells and serves as a marker of dendritic cell maturation. The encoded protein localizes primarily to late endosomes/lysosomes and the MHC class II compartment, where it contributes to antigen processing and presentation during adaptive immune responses. The expression of this gene is inducible under hypoxic conditions via hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha signaling. In cancer, this gene is frequently overexpressed and is associated with tumor progression, metastasis, therapy resistance, and poor clinical prognosis in multiple malignancies including breast, cervical, and ovarian cancers.
