Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous genomewide association studies (GWASs), single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2 A (CDKN2A), cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B), and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B antisense RNA1 (CDKN2B-AS1) were reported as risk loci for glioma, a subgroup of the brain tumor. To further characterize this association with the risk of brain tumors in a Korean population, we performed a fine-mapping association study of CDKN2A, CDKN2B, and CDKN2B-AS1. METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 17 SNPs were selected and genotyped in 1,439 subjects which were comprised of 959 patients (pituitary adenoma 335; glioma 324; meningioma 300) and 480 population controls (PCs). We discovered that a 3'untranslated region (3'UTR) variant, rs181031884 of CDKN2B (Asian-specific variant), had significant association with the risk of pituitary adenoma (PA) (Odds ratio = 0.58, P = 0.00003). Also, rs181031884 appeared as an independent causal variant among the significant variants in CDKN2A and CDKN2B, and showed dose-dependent effects on PA. CONCLUSIONS Although further studies are needed to verify the impact of this variant on PA susceptibility, our results may help to understand CDKN2B polymorphism and the risk of PA.

Abstract
Background Hepatitis B is known to cause several forms of liver diseases including chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and hepatocellular carcinoma. Previous genome-wide association study of CHB risk has demonstrated that rs12614 of complement factor B (CFB) was significantly associated with CHB risk. In this study, fine-mapping study of previously reported GWAS single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP; CFB rs12614) was performed to validate genetic effect of rs12614 on CHB susceptibility and identify possible additional causal variants around rs12614 in a Korean population. This association study was conducted in order to identify genetic effects of CFB single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and to identify additional independent CHB susceptible causal markers within a Korean population. Methods A total of 10 CFB genetic polymorphisms were selected and genotyped in 1716 study subjects comprised of 955 CHB patients and 761 population controls. Results A non-synonymous variant, rs12614 (Arg32Trp) in exon2 of CFB, had significant associations with risk of CHB (odds ratio = 0.43, P = 5.91 × 10− 10). Additional linkage disequilibrium and conditional analysis confirmed that rs12614 had independent genetic effect on CHB susceptibility with previously identified CHB markers. The genetic risk scores (GRSs) were calculated and the CHB patients had higher GRSs than the population controls. Moreover, OR was found to increase significantly with cumulative GRS. Conclusions rs12614 showed significant genetic effect on CHB risk within the Korean population. As such rs12614 may be used as a possible causal genetic variant for CHB susceptibility.

Abstract
Previous studies have identified multiple loci for inherited susceptibility to glioma development, including the regulator of telomere elongation helicase 1 (RTEL1). However, the association between RTEL1 variants and risk of glioma has not been well understood. Therefore, we sought to comprehensively examine the genetic interaction between RTEL1 variants and risk of glioma with respect to defined histological and molecular subtypes. We employed a case-control study involving 250 adult glioma patients with previous molecular alterations and 375 population–based controls within Korean populations. Statistical analyses on the association between RTEL1 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and glioma risk were conducted using unconditional logistic regression. Additional conditional and stepwise analyses were performed on significant RTEL1 SNPs. We detected significant associations (Bonferroni P < .05) between six SNPs (rs6089953, rs3848669, rs6010620, rs3787089, rs6062302, and rs115303435) and risk of glioma in the Korean subjects. The two coding variants, rs6062302 (D664D) and rs115303435 (A1059T), were plausibly causal variants and were independent among the significantly associated RTEL1 variants. The glioma subgroup analyses showed that the causal variants (rs6062302 and rs115303435) may be associated with increased risk of glioma regardless of histological grades and molecular alterations. This study provides a deeper understanding of relationships between RTEL1 variants and risk of glioma. Further studies are required to ascertain the impact of those variants on glioma susceptibility.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Numerous single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with an increased risk of liver diseases, chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma have been identified. In this study, we scrutinized the genetic effects of C2 variants, which were conflicting in previous results, on the risk of chronic hepatitis B in a Korean population. METHODS We genotyped 22 common C2 genetic variants of 977 chronic hepatitis B cases including 302 chronic hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma cases and 785 population controls. Statistical analysis was performed to examine the effects of genotype on the risk of chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma. RESULTS Logistic regression analyses showed that six C2 single nucleotide polymorphisms had significant associations with the risk of chronic hepatitis B and chronic hepatitis B-related hepatocellular carcinoma among the Korean subjects. Stepwise analysis revealed that causal markers (rs9267665 and rs10947223) were identified among the C2 variants (stepwise P = 3.32 × 10-9 and 2.04 × 10-5 respectively). In further conditional analysis with previous chronic hepatitis B-associated loci, these two single nucleotide polymorphisms were independently associated with the risk of chronic hepatitis B. In addition, we investigated the ability of genetic risk scores combining 12 multi-chronic hepatitis B loci to predict the risk of chronic hepatitis B. Individuals with higher genetic risk scores showed increased risk for chronic hepatitis B. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggested that the C2 gene might be a susceptibility locus for chronic hepatitis B in Korean populations. The cumulative genetic effects may contribute to future etiological explanations for chronic hepatitis B.

Abstract
Chronic hepatitis B (CHB) is a precursor to liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma, caused by a Hepatitis B viral infection. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been conducted to find genes associated with CHB risk. In previous GWAS, EHMT2 was identified as one of the susceptibility genes for CHB. To further characterize this association and discover possible causal variants, we conducted an additional association study. A total of 11 EHMT2 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) were selected and genotyped in 3902 subjects (1046 CHB patients and 2856 controls). An additional eight imputed SNPs were also included in further analysis. As a result, rs35875104 showed a strong association with the CHB, along with the previously reported genetic marker for CHB risk, rs652888 (odds ratio (OR) = 0.53, P = 2.20 × 10-8 at rs35875104 and OR = 1.58, P = 9.90 × 10-12 at rs652888). In addition, linkage disequilibrium and conditional analysis identified one SNP (rs35875104) as a novel genetic marker for CHB susceptibility. The GRSs (genetic risk scores) were calculated to visualize the combined genetic effects of all known CHB-associated loci, including EHMT2 rs35875104, which was additionally identified in this study. The findings from the present study may be useful for further understanding of the genetic etiology of CHB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis B viral infection is a serious risk factor for chronic hepatitis B (CHB), cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. Recently, several genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have been conducted to identify important genetic variant associated with the risk of CHB. In our previous GWAS, TCF19 was identified as one of the susceptibility genes for CHB risk (P=4.2×10-9 at rs1419881). In order to discover possible additional causal variants around TCF19, we performed an association study by genotyping single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in OCT4, a nearby gene to TCF19. METHODS Nineteen OCT4 genetic variants were selected and genotyped in 3902 subjects (1046 CHB patients and 2856 population controls). RESULTS Logistic regression analysis revealed that OCT4 rs1265163 showed the most significant association signal for the risk of CHB (OR=1.46, P=4.78×10-12 ). Linkage disequilibrium and conditional analysis confirmed rs1265163 in OCT4 as a novel genetic marker for CHB susceptibility. The genetic risk scores (GRSs) were calculated to visualize the combined genetic effects of all known CHB-associated loci, including OCT4 rs1265163, which had been identified in this study. Individuals with higher cumulative GRSs showed significantly increased ORs. The luciferase activity of rs885952, a tagging SNP of rs1265163, showed that OCT4 promoter activity was significantly different between the wild-type and SNP mutant form (P<.05). CONCLUSIONS This follow-up study to our previous GWAS identified a possible causal genetic variant associated with the risk of CHB, and findings from this study may prove useful in the understanding of genetic susceptibility to CHB.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is characterized by a severe and sudden asthma attack after aspirin ingestion in patients with asthma. We studied associations with six common single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of the gasdermin B gene (GSDMB). OBJECTIVE DNA obtained from 572 patients with asthma (with AERD, n = 165; and with aspirin-tolerant asthma, n = 407) and 391 normal controls was subjected to genotyping of six SNPs of GSDMB. METHODS An association analysis between GSDMB variants and AERD, with a fall rate of the forced expiratory volume in the first second of expiration (FEV1), was performed by using logistic and regression models. RESULTS Two SNPs in the intron (rs870830, rs7216389) showed significant associations with AERD (minimum p = 7.00 × 10-4 in the dominant model), even after Bonferroni correction (pcorr = 0.01 for the rs870830). Regression analysis of the genetic variants with FEV1 revealed significant associations with rs870830 and the haplotype 2 (pcorr = 4.71 × 10-4 for rs870830 and pcorr = 1.14 × 10-3 for haplotype 2, respectively). CONCLUSION We found strong associations among GSDMB polymorphisms and the presence of AERD and FEV1 in Korean patients with asthma. Our findings indicated that genetic variations of GSDMB may be associated with the development of AERD and aspirin-induced bronchospasm.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is regarded as a multifactorial and polygenic brain disorder that is attributed to different combinations of genetic and environmental risk factors. Recently, several genome-wide association studies (GWASs) of schizophrenia have identified numerous risk factors, but the replication results remain controversial and ambiguous. To identify schizophrenia susceptibility loci in the Korean population, we performed a GWAS using the Illumina HumanOmni1-Quad V1.0 Microarray. We genotyped 1,140,419 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 350 Korea schizophrenia patients and 700 control subjects, and approximately 620,001 autosomal SNPs were passed our quality control. In the case-control analysis, the rs9607195 A>G on intergenic area 250 kb away from the ISX gene and the rs12738007 A>G on the intron of the MECR gene were the most strongly associated SNPs with the risk of schizophrenia (P = 6.2 × 10(-8) , OR = 0.50 and P = 3.7 × 10(-7) , OR = 2.39, respectively). In subsequent fine-mapping analysis, 6 SNPs of MECR were genotyped with 310 schizophrenia patients and 604 control subjects. The association of the MECR rs12738007, a top ranked-SNP in GWAS, was replicated (P = 1.5 × 10(-2) , OR = 1.53 in fine mapping analysis, P = 1.5 × 10(-6) , OR = 1.90 in combined analysis). The identification of putative schizophrenia susceptibility loci could provide new insights into genetic factors related with schizophrenia and clues for the development of diagnosis strategies.

Abstract
Organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP; gene symbol, SLCO) transporters are generally involved in the uptake of multiple drugs and their metabolites at most epithelial barriers. The pattern of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in these transporters may be determinants of interindividual variability in drug disposition and response. The objective of this study was to define the distribution of SNPs of three SLCO genes, SLCO1B1, SLCO1B3, and SLCO2B1, in a Korean population and other ethnic groups. The study was screened using the Illumina GoldenGate assay for genomic DNA from 450 interethnic subjects, including 11 pharmacogenetic core variants and 76 HapMap tagging SNPs. The genotype distribution of the Korean population was similar to East Asian populations, but significantly different from African American and European American cohorts. These interethnic differences will be useful information for prospective studies, including genetic association and pharmacogenetic studies of drug metabolism by SLCO families.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is the most serious risk factor for chronic hepatitis B (CHB), cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Recently, several genome-wide association studies (GWASs) identified important variants associated with the risk of CHB in Asian populations. Specifically, our previous GWAS identified the VARS2-SFTA2 gene region as one of the genetic risk loci for CHB. METHODS To further characterize this association and to isolate possible causal variants within it, we performed an additional association study by genotyping more SNPs in the vicinity of the VARS2 and SFTA2 genes. In all, 14 SNPs of VARS2-SFTA2 were analysed among a total of 3902 subjects (1046 cases and 2856 controls). RESULTS Logistic regression analysis revealed that six SNPs, including the previously reported rs2532932, were significantly associated with the risk of CHB (P = 1.7 × 10(-10) ~0.002). Further linkage disequilibrium and conditional analysis identified two variants (rs9394021 and rs2517459) as new markers of genetic risk factors for CHB rather than the reported SNP from our previous study (rs2532932). To evaluate the cumulative risk for CHB based on all known genetic factors, genetic risk score (GRS) were calculated. As anticipated, the distribution of the number of risk alleles in cases vs. controls clearly differed according to the GRS. Similarly, the odds ratios (ORs) were increased (OR = 0.32-3.97). CONCLUSION Our findings show that common variants in the VARS2-SFTA2 gene region are significantly associated with CHB in a Korean population, which may be useful in further understanding genetic susceptibility to CHB.

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by mycobacterium, which most commonly affects the lungs. The adaptive immune response in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is predominantly mediated by the interferon-γ (IFN-γ) signaling pathway, which is regulated by IFN-γ receptors (IFNGR). IFN-γ activates the transcription of a number of genes that are important in immune responses, thus the appropriate function of IFNGR appears to be important in host defense against mycobacteria. In the present study, 22 genetic variants in IFNGR1 and IFNGR2 were genotyped in 673 patients and 592 normal controls to investigate the association between IFNGR1 and IFNGR2 polymorphisms and the risk of TB. Statistical analyses revealed that four genetic variants in IFNGR1, rs9376269, rs9376268, rs9376267 and rs56251346 were marginally associated with the risk of TB (P = 0.02-0.04), while other single nucleotide polymorphisms in IFNGR1 and IFNGR2 did not exhibit any associations. However, the significance of the four genetic variants rs9376269, rs9376268, rs9376267 and rs56251346 was eliminated following a multiple testing correction of the data (P>0.05). The present results revealed that certain genetic variants in IFNGR genes may be associated with TB development, which may be useful preliminary data for future investigation.

Abstract
Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental disorder with a high heritability rate. Located on chromosome 1p31.3, the human cAMP-specific 3',5'-cyclic phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B) gene has been considered as an important candidate gene for the risk of schizophrenia. Several genetic association studies reported the association between PDE4B polymorphisms and the risk of schizophrenia in Caucasian, African American, Indian, and Japanese populations. The aim of this study is to examine the association of PDE4B variations with schizophrenia and smooth pursuit eye movement (SPEM) abnormality in a Korean population. A case-control association analysis was carried out by comparing the genotype distribution of eight PDE4B polymorphisms between 457 schizophrenia patients and 386 normal healthy subjects. Differences in the frequency distribution of PDE4B single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and haplotypes were analyzed by logistic regression analyses controlling for age as a covariate. Statistical analyses revealed nominal significant associations of rs1040716, rs472952, rs1321177, and rs2144719 with the risk of schizophrenia (p = 0.02~0.05). The rs11208756 polymorphism showed a nominal significant association with SPEM abnormality (p = 0.05). In a meta-analysis with Japanese and Korean populations, three SNPs (rs472952, rs1040716, and rs2180335) revealed significant associations with schizophrenia (meta-p value = 0.0038~0.019). Our results support previously reported association of PDE4B variations with schizophrenia in other populations. The findings in this study add a new evidence for the involvement of PDE4B gene in schizophrenia etiology.

Abstract
A recent genome-wide association study (GWAS) for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) identified two loci (rs7574865 in STAT4 and rs9275319 in HLA-DQ) in a Chinese population. We attempted to replicate the associations between the two SNP loci and the risk of HCC in a Korean population. The rs7574865 in STAT4 and rs9275319 in HLA-DQ were genotyped in a total of 3838 Korean subjects composed of 287 HBV-related hepatocellular carcinoma patients, 671 chronic hepatitis B virus (CHB) patients, and 2880 population controls using TaqMan genotyping assay. Gene expression was measured by microarray. A logistic regression analysis revealed that rs7574865 in STAT4 and rs9275319 in HLA-DQ were associated with the risk of CHB (OR = 1.25, P = 0.0002 and OR = 1.57, P= 1.44 × 10(-10), respectively). However, these loci were no association with the risk of HBV-related HCC among CHB patients. In the gene expression analyses, although no significant differences in mRNA expression of nearby genes according to genotypes were detected, a significantly decreased mRNA expression in HCC subjects was observed in STAT4, HLA-DQA1, and HLA-DQB1. Although the genetic effects of two HCC susceptibility loci were not replicated, the two loci were found to exert susceptibility effects on the risk of CHB in a Korean population. In addition, the decreased mRNA expression of STAT4, HLA-DQA1, and HLA-DQB1 in HCC tissue might provide a clue to understanding their role in the progression to HCC.

Abstract
Aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) is one phenotype of asthma, often occurring in the form of a severe and sudden attack. Due to the time-consuming nature and difficulty of oral aspirin challenge (OAC) for AERD diagnosis, non-invasive biomarkers have been sought. The aim of this study was to identify AERD-associated exonic SNPs and examine the diagnostic potential of a combination of these candidate SNPs to predict AERD. DNA from 165 AERD patients, 397 subjects with aspirin-tolerant asthma (ATA), and 398 normal controls were subjected to an Exome BeadChip assay containing 240K SNPs. 1,023 models (210-1) were generated from combinations of the top 10 SNPs, selected by the p-values in association with AERD. The area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves was calculated for each model. SNP Function Portal and PolyPhen-2 were used to validate the functional significance of candidate SNPs. An exonic SNP, exm537513 in HLA-DPB1, showed the lowest p-value (p = 3.40×10−8) in its association with AERD risk. From the top 10 SNPs, a combination model of 7 SNPs (exm537513, exm83523, exm1884673, exm538564, exm2264237, exm396794, and exm791954) showed the best AUC of 0.75 (asymptotic p-value of 7.94×10−21), with 34% sensitivity and 93% specificity to discriminate AERD from ATA. Amino acid changes due to exm83523 in CHIA were predicted to be “probably damaging” to the structure and function of the protein, with a high score of ‘1’. A combination model of seven SNPs may provide a useful, non-invasive genetic marker combination for predicting AERD.

Abstract
PURPOSE Melanocortin 3 Receptor (MC3R) is one of the families of seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptors, and a recent study showed that MCR3 promoter polymorphism was significantly associated with the susceptibility of tuberculosis (TB) in South African population. METHODS We analyzed six MC3R polymorphisms to examine the genetic effects on the risk of pulmonary TB in Korean subjects by using TaqMan assays and case-control analyses. RESULTS Using statistical analyses, one common promoter polymorphism (MC3R rs11575886 T > C) was found to be associated with an increased risk of pulmonary TB. The frequency of the C-bearing genotype of rs11575886 was higher in pulmonary TB patients than in normal controls (p = 0.03, OR = 1.46) although the significance was not retained after correction. In silico analysis for the difference of transcription binding factor (TF), motif between C and T allele demonstrated that the TF motif and its threshold scores of C allele were lower than those of T allele. CONCLUSIONS The C allele of rs11575886 could be a risk allele for the pulmonary TB by affecting the binding of TF. Our findings suggest that polymorphisms in MC3R might be one of genetic factors for the risk of pulmonary TB development in Korean subjects.

Abstract
The tyrosine-protein kinase Tec (TEC) is a member of non-receptor tyrosine kinases and has critical roles in cell signaling transmission, calcium mobilization, gene expression, and transformation. TEC is also involved in various immune responses, such as mast cell activation. Therefore, we hypothesized that TEC polymorphisms might be involved in aspirin-exacerbated respiratory disease (AERD) pathogenesis. We genotyped 38 TEC single nucleotide polymorphisms in a total of 592 subjects, which comprised 163 AERD cases and 429 aspirin-tolerant asthma controls. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the associations between TEC polymorphisms and the risk of AERD in a Korean population. The results revealed that TEC polymorphisms and major haplotypes were not associated with the risk of AERD. In another regression analysis for the fall rate of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) by aspirin provocation, two variations (rs7664091 and rs12500534) and one haplotype (TEC_BL2_ht4) showed nominal associations with FEV1 decline (p = 0.03-0.04). However, the association signals were not retained after performing corrections for multiple testing. Despite TEC playing an important role in immune responses, the results from the present study suggest that TEC polymorphisms do not affect AERD susceptibility. Findings from the present study might contribute to the genetic etiology of AERD pathogenesis.

Abstract
PURPOSE UGT1A1, UGT2B7, and UGT2B15 are well-known pharmacogenes that belong to the uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase gene family. For personalized drug treatment, it is important to study differences in the frequency of core markers across various ethnic groups. Accordingly, we screened single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of these three genes and analyzed differences in their frequency among five ethnic groups, as well as attempted to predict the function of novel SNPs. MATERIALS AND METHODS We directly sequenced 288 subjects consisting of 96 Korean, 48 Japanese, 48 Han Chinese, 48 African American, and 48 European American subjects. Subsequently, we analyzed genetic variability, linkage disequilibrium (LD) structures and ethnic differences for each gene. We also conducted in silico analysis to predict the function of novel SNPs. RESULTS A total of 87 SNPs were detected, with seven pharmacogenetic core SNPs and 31 novel SNPs. We observed that the frequencies of UGT1A1 *6 (rs4148323), UGT1A1 *60 (rs4124874), UGT1A1 *93 (rs10929302), UGT2B7 *2 (rs7439366), a part of UGT2B7 *3 (rs12233719), and UGT2B15 *2 (rs1902023) were different between Asian and other ethnic groups. Additional in silico analysis results showed that two novel promoter SNPs of UGT1A1 -690G>A and -689A>C were found to potentially change transcription factor binding sites. Moreover, 673G>A (UGT2B7), 2552T>C, and 23269C>T (both SNPs from UGT2B15) changed amino acid properties, which could cause structural deformation. CONCLUSION Findings from the present study would be valuable for further studies on pharmacogenetic studies of personalized medicine and drug response.
