Our study aims to investigate the shared genetic susceptibility between the two disorders and to define candidate causal genes using cross‐phenotype GWAS meta‐analysis.MethodsWe performed cross‐phenotype GWAS meta‐analysis and Bayesian colocalization analysis for SSc and PBC. We performed both genome‐wide and locus‐based analysis, including tissue and pathway enrichment analyses, fine‐mapping, Bayesian colocalization analyses with expression quantitative trait loci (eQTL) and protein quantitative trait loci (pQTL) datasets, and phenome‐wide association studies (PheWAS). Finally, we used an integrative approach to prioritize candidate causal genes from the novel loci.ResultsWe detected a strong genetic correlation between SSc and PBC (rg = 0.84, p = 1.7 x 10<jats:sup>‐6</jats:sup>). In the cross‐phenotype GWAS meta‐analysis, we identified 44 non‐HLA loci that reached genome‐wide significance (p < 5 x 10<jats:sup>‐8</jats:sup>). Evidence of shared causal variants between SSc and PBC was found for nine loci, five of which were novel. Integrating multiple sources of evidence, we prioritized <jats:italic>CD40</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>ERAP1</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>PLD4</jats:italic>, <jats:italic>SPPL3,</jats:italic> and <jats:italic>CCDC113</jats:italic> as novel candidate causal genes. The <jats:italic>CD40</jats:italic> risk locus colocalized with trans‐pQTLs of multiple plasma proteins involved in B cell function.ConclusionOur study supports a strong shared genetic susceptibility between SSc and PBC. Through cross‐phenotype analyses, we have prioritized several novel candidate causal genes and pathways for these disorders.","PeriodicalId":129,"journal":{"name":"Arthritis & Rheumatology","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142825169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
