The SNP rs9632837 was near significance in our SIgAD meta-analysis (p = 7.9e-8) and became significant in the cFDR analysis.
The SNP rs9632837 was near significance in our SIgAD meta-analysis (p = 7.9e-8) and became significant in the cFDR analysis.
Another SNP, rs12955302, was close to significance in the SIgAD meta-analysis (p = 2.3e-7) before reaching it in the cFDR analysis. rs12955302 is located in an intron of PTPN2 , an immunologically salient gene, and is associated with a range of IMDs including Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis [ 121 ], T1D [ 62 ], and coeliac disease [ 152 ].
We chose asthma nonetheless for its status as the most prevalent atopy in SIgAD patients (19.1%) [ 18 ], its highly significant GPS test statistic (p = 0.0008), and our access to a highly-powered asthma GWAS for use as an auxiliary data set ( Supplementary Table 1 ).
