Abstract

Abstract Tuberculosis is a significant public health concern resulting in the death of over 1 million individuals each year worldwide. While treatment options and vaccines exist, a substantial number of infections still remain untreated or are caused by treatment resistant strains. Therefore, it is important to identify mechanisms that contribute to risk and prognosis of tuberculosis as this may provide tools to understand disease mechanisms and provide novel treatment options for those with severe infection. Our goal was to identify genetic risk factors that contribute to the risk of tuberculosis and to understand biological mechanisms and causality behind the risk of tuberculosis. A total of 1895 individuals in the FinnGen study had International Classification of Diseases-based tuberculosis diagnosis. Genome-wide association study analysis identified genetic variants with statistically significant association with tuberculosis at the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) region (P < 5e−8). Fine mapping of the HLA association provided evidence for one protective haplotype tagged by HLA DQB1*05:01 (P = 1.82E−06, OR = 0.81 [CI 95% 0.74–0.88]), and predisposing alleles tagged by HLA DRB1*13:02 (P = 0.00011, OR = 1.35 [CI 95% 1.16–1.57]). Furthermore, genetic correlation analysis showed association with earlier reported risk factors including smoking (P < 0.05). Mendelian randomization supported smoking as a risk factor for tuberculosis (inverse-variance weighted P < 0.05, OR = 1.83 [CI 95% 1.15–2.93]) with no significant evidence of pleiotropy. Our findings indicate that specific HLA alleles associate with the risk of tuberculosis. In addition, lifestyle risk factors such as smoking contribute to the risk of developing tuberculosis.

*LUNG cancer, *DISEASE risk factors, *GENETIC risk score, *HUMAN genetic variation, *T cell receptors, *HOMOZYGOSITY
Abstract

The article offers information on the role of the human leukocyte antigen (HLA) locus in influencing lung cancer risk, particularly in relation to the immune system's role in preventing lung cancer. Topics include the cancer immunosurveillance theory; the HLA heterozygote advantage theory; and the association of HLA-II heterozygosity with reduced risk of lung cancer, especially among smokers.

8. Genetic analysis implicates ERAP1 and HLA as risk factors for severe Puumala virus infection.

Abstract

Puumala virus (PUUV) infections can cause severe illnesses such as Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome in humans. However, human genetic risk factors contributing to disease severity are still poorly understood. Our goal was to elucidate genetic factors contributing to PUUV infections and understand the biological mechanisms underlying individual vulnerability to PUUV infections. Leveraging data from the FinnGen study, we conducted a genome-wide association study on severe Hemorrhagic Fever with Renal Syndrome caused by PUUV with 2227 cases. We identified associations at the Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) locus and ERAP1 with severe PUUV infection. HLA molecules are canonical mediators for immune recognition and response. ERAP1 facilitates immune system recognition and activation by cleaving viral proteins into smaller peptides which are presented to the immune system via HLA class I molecules. Notably, we identified that the lead variant (rs26653, OR = 0.84, P = 2.9 × 10-8) in the ERAP1 gene was a missense variant changing amino acid arginine to proline. From the HLA region, we showed independent and significant associations with both HLA class I and II genes. Furthermore, we showed independent associations with four HLA alleles with severe PUUV infection using conditional HLA fine mapping. The strongest association was found with the HLA-C*07:01 allele (OR = 1.54, P = 4.0 × 10-24) followed by signals at HLA-B*13:02, HLA-DRB1*01:01, and HLA-DRB1*11:01 alleles (P < 5 × 10-8). Our findings suggest an association of viral peptide processing with ERAP1 and antigen presentation through HLA alleles that may contribute to the development of severe PUUV disease., (© The Author(s) 2024.

Abstract

Background: Poor sleep is associated with an increased risk of infections and all-cause mortality, and acute sleep loss and disruption have been linked with inflammation and poorer immune control. Previous studies, however, have been unable to evidence causality between the chronic effects of poor sleep and respiratory infection risk. In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and potential future disease outbreaks, understanding the risk factors for these infections is of great importance., Aim: Our goal was to understand if chronic poor sleep could be identified as a causal risk factor for respiratory infections including influenza, upper respiratory infections and COVID-19., Methods: We used population cohorts from the UK Biobank (N ≈ 231,000) and FinnGen (N ≈ 327,000) with ICD-10 based electronic health records and obtained diagnoses of insomnia, influenza and upper respiratory infections (URIs) from primary care and hospital settings. We computed logistic regression to assess association between poor sleep and infections, disease free survival hazard ratios, and used summary statistics from genome-wide association studies of insomnia, influenza, URI and COVID-19 to perform Mendelian randomization analyses and assess causality., Findings: Utilizing 23 years of registry data and follow-up, we saw that insomnia diagnosis associated with increased risk for infections in FinnGen and in UK Biobank (FinnGen influenza HR = 5.32 [4.09, 6.92], P = 1.02×10 -35 , UK Biobank influenza HR = 1.54 [1.37, 1.73], P = 2.49×10 -13 ). Mendelian randomization indicated that insomnia causally predisposed to influenza (OR = 1.59, P = 6.23×10 -4 ), upper respiratory infections (OR = 1.71, P = 7.60×10 -13 ), COVID-19 infection (OR = 1.08, P = 0.037) and risk of hospitalization from COVID-19 (OR = 1.47, P = 4.96×10 -5 )., Conclusions: Our findings indicate that chronic poor sleep is a causal risk factor for contracting respiratory infections, and in addition contributes to the severity of respiratory infections. These findings highlight the role of sleep in maintaining sufficient immune response against pathogens as suggested by earlier work. As the current COVID-19 pandemic has increased the number of people suffering from poor sleep, safe interventions such as sleep management and treating individuals with insomnia could be promoted to reduce infections and save lives., Competing Interests: Conflicts of Interest No authors report any conflicts of interest for this work.
