NBDC Research ID: hum0343.v2

 

SUMMARY

Aims: To construct a prediction system for severe disease through whole genome sequencing, RNA sequencing, and ultra-high-precision HLA analysis of patients with COVID-19, asymptomatic infected patients, and patients suspected of having novel coronavirus infection. In addition, we will use anonymized data to analyze the prediction of severity of COVID-19 using mathematical models.

Methods: Genome-wide association study (GWAS), RNA-seq, eQTL/sQTL study

Participants/Materials: GWAS: 5682 Japanese individuals (2393 COVID-19 infected patients and 3289 controls) 

                                        RNA-seq: 473 COVID-19 infected patients

Detection method of eQTL (cis)

The eQTL effects of common (>1%) variants in cis (<+-1Mb) window of transcription sites were tested using fastQTL. Variant-gene pairs with cis-eQTL p-value<0.05, annotated with allele frequency (AF), p-value, effect size (beta) and posterior inclusion probability (PIP) were summarized.

Detection method of eQTL (trans)

Trans-eQTL effects were tested using tensorQTL. Variant-gene pairs with trans-eQTL p-value <5*10^-8, annotated with AF, p-value and beta were summarized.

Detection method of sQTL

The sQTL effects of common (>1%) variants in cis (<+-1Mb) window of intron cluster start sites were tested using fastQTL. Variant-intron cluster pairs with cis-sQTL p-value<0.05, annotated with AF, p-value, beta and PIP were summarized.
