Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Exploration by Next-Generation Sequencing in Ethnic Samples (T2D-GENES) Learn more >
T2D-GENES (Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Exploration by Next-generation sequencing in multi-Ethnic Samples) is a large collaborative effort to find genetic variants that influence risk of type 2 diabetes. With funding from NIDDK, the group is pursuing three projects: (1) deep whole-exome sequencing in 10,000 people from five ethnicities (African-American, East Asian, South Asian, European, and Hispanic); (2) deep whole-genome sequencing of 600 individuals selected from extended Mexican American pedigrees; and (3) a trans-ethnic fine-mapping "mega-meta-analysis."
Overview of analysis and results
Two single-variant association analyses were conducted for each of the 25 sample sub-groups. For both analyses, all all non-reference alleles at multiallelic sites into a single “non-reference” allele. In the first analysis, all (including related) samples were analyzed using the EMMAX test, as implemented in the EPACTS software package, using the GRM computed from the ancestry-specific ancestry variants. Covariates for sequencing technology were included in the model where appropriate, but covariates for PCs of genetic ancestry, age, sex, or BMI were not included.
In the second analysis, unrelated samples were analyzed via the Firth logistic regression test, also as implemented in EPACTS; covariates for sequencing technology and for PCs of genetic ancestry (computed from the ancestry-specific ancestry variants) were included in the model. The number of PCs included varied by subgroup; to select the PCs to be included, we T2D status was regressed on sequencing technology and the first ten PCs. Any PC that demonstrated nominal (p<0.05) association with T2D, as well as all higher-order PCs, were included in the model.
For each of the 25×2=50 single-variant analyses, QQ plots of variant association statistics were inspected, and the stringency of the variant filters was increased if the distribution of association statistics appeared poorly calibrated. A 25-group fixed-effect inverse-variance weighted meta-analysis was then conducted for each of the Firth and EMMAX tests, using METAL. EMMAX results were used for association p-values and Firth results for effect size estimates.
