The project “Searching for new genes and loci involved in cleft lip and palate in the Polish population – genome-wide association study” is a case-control study in a group of unrelated subjects with non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) and healthy individuals with no family history of clefting or other congenital disorders. The overall goal of this grant proposal is to identify novel genetic factors, which can play a significant role in the pathogenesis of orofacial clefts in the Polish population. To accomplish the proposed aim, a two stage genome-wide association study will be performed. In the first stage, Illumina's HumanOmni Express BeadChips arrays will be used to genotype over 700,000 polymorphisms in NSCL/P patients and controls. In the second stage, SNPs showing the most compelling association with the risk of orofacial clefts will be tested in an independent sample set using standard genotyping methods. This research project is expected to be completed in July 2015.

ObjectiveMore than 40 loci have been associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), but less is known about genetic associations in spondyloarthritis (SpA) as a whole. We conducted a family-based genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify new non-major histocompatibility complex (MHC) genetic factors associated with SpA.Methods906 subjects from 156 French multiplex families, including 438 with SpA, were genotyped using Affymetrix 250K microarrays. Association was tested with Unphased. The best-associated non-MHC single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were then genotyped in two independent familial cohorts (including 215 French and 294 North American patients with SpA, respectively) to replicate associations.Results43 non-MHC SNPs yielded an association signal with SpA in the discovery cohort (p<1×10−4). In the extension studies, association was replicated at a nominal p value of p<0.05 for 16 SNPs in the second cohort and for three SNPs in the third cohort. Combined analysis identified an association close to genome-wide significance between rs7761118, an intronic SNP of MAPK14, and SpA (p=3.5×10−7). Such association appeared to be independent of HLA-B27.ConclusionsWe report here for the first time a family-based GWAS study on SpA and identified an associated polymorphism near MAPK14. Further analyses are needed to better understand the functional basis of this genetic association.
