Genetic interactions and pleiotropy in metabolic diseases: Insights from a comprehensive GWAS analysis.
Article in Journal of cellular and molecular medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
This study offers insights into the genetic and biological connections between nine common metabolic diseases using data from genome-wide association studies. Our goal is to unravel the genetic interactions and biological pathways of these complex diseases, enhancing our understanding of their genetic architecture. We employed a range of advanced analytical techniques to explore the genetic correlations and shared genetic variants of these diseases. These methods include Linked Disequilibrium Score Regression, High-Definition Likelihood (HDL), genetic analysis combining multiplicity and annotation (GPA), two-sample Mendelian randomization analyses, analysis under the multiplicity-complex null hypothesis (PLACO), and Functional mapping and annotation of genetic associations (FUMA). Additionally, Bayesian co-localization analyses were used to examine associations of specific loci across traits. Our study discovered significant genomic correlations and shared loci, indicating complex genetic interactions among these metabolic diseases. We found several shared single nucleotide variants and risk loci, notably highlighting the role of the immune system and endocrine pathways in these diseases. Particularly, rs2476601 and its associated gene PTPN22 appear to play a crucial role in the connection between type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism/mucous oedema and hypoglycaemia. These findings enhance our understanding of the genetic underpinnings of these diseases and open new potential avenues for targeted therapeutic and preventive strategies. The results underscore the importance of considering pleiotropic effects in deciphering the genetic architecture of complex diseases, especially metabolic ones.
