INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
The overwhelming majority of participants in current genetic studies are of European ancestry1–3, limiting our genetic understanding of complex disease in non-European populations. To address this, we aimed to elucidate polygenic disease biology in the East Asian population by conducting a genome-wide association study (GWAS) with 212,453 Japanese individuals across 42 diseases. We detected 383 independent signals in 331 loci for 30 diseases, among which 45 loci were novel (P < 5 × 10−8). Compared with known variants, novel variants have lower frequency in European populations but comparable frequency in East Asian populations, suggesting the advantage of this study in discovering these novel variants. Three novel signals were in linkage disequilibrium (r2 > 0.6) with missense variants which are monomorphic in European populations (1000 Genomes Project) including rs11235604(p.R220W of ATG16L2, a autophagy-related gene) associated with coronary artery disease. We further investigated enrichment of heritability within 2,868 annotations of genome-wide transcription factor occupancy, andidentified 378 significant enrichments across nine diseases (FDR < 0.05) (e.g. NF-κB for immune-related diseases). This large-scale GWAS in a Japanese population provides insights into the etiology of common complex diseases and highlights the importance of performing GWAS in non-European populations.
