Abstract
AbstractIn addition to conventional genome-wide association studies (GWAS), a fine-mapping analysis is increasingly used to identify the genetic function of variants associated with disease susceptibilities. Here, we used a fine-mapping approach to evaluate candidate variants based on a previous GWAS involving patients with intracranial aneurysm (IA). A fine-mapping analysis was conducted based on the chromosomal data provided by a GWAS of 250 patients diagnosed with IA and 296 controls using posterior inclusion probability (PIP) and log10 transformed Bayes factor (log10BF). The narrow sense of heritability (h2) explained by each candidate variant was estimated. Subsequent gene expression and functional network analyses of candidate genes were used to calculate transcripts per million (TPM) values. Twenty single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) surpassed a genome-wide significance threshold for creditable evidence (log10BF > 6.1). Among them, four SNPs, rs75822236 (GBA; log10BF = 15.06), rs112859779 (TCF24; log10BF = 12.12), rs79134766 (OLFML2A; log10BF = 14.92), and rs371331393 (ARHGAP32; log10BF = 20.88) showed a completed PIP value in each chromosomal region, suggesting a higher probability of functional candidate variants associated with IA. On the contrary, these associations were not shown clearly under different replication sets. Our fine-mapping analysis suggested that four functional candidate variants of GBA, TCF24, OLFML2A, and ARHGAP32 were linked to IA susceptibility and pathogenesis. However, this approach could not completely replace replication sets based on large-scale data. Thus, caution is required when interpreting results of fine-mapping analysis.
