{"doi":"10.1101/2022.09.30.22280535","title":"The power of TOPMed imputation for the discovery of Latino enriched rare variants associated with type 2 diabetes","abstract":"ABSTRACT Hypothesis The prevalence of type 2 diabetes is higher in Latino populations compared with other major ancestry groups. Not only has the Latino population been systematically underrepresented in large-scale genetic analyses, but previous studies relied on the imputation of ungenotyped variants based on the 1000 Genomes (1000G) imputation reference panel, which results in suboptimal capture of low-frequency or Latino-enriched variants. The NHLBI Trans-Omics for Precision Medicine (TOPMed) reference panel represents a unique opportunity to analyze rare genetic variations in the Latino population. Methods We evaluate the TOPMed imputation performance using genotyping array and whole-exome sequence data in 6 Latino cohorts. To evaluate the ability of TOPMed imputation of increasing the identified loci, we performed a Latino type 2 diabetes GWAS meta-analysis in 8,150 type 2 diabetes cases and 10,735 controls and replicated the results in 6 additional cohorts including whole-genome sequence data from the All of Us cohort. Results We show that, compared to imputation with 1000G, the TOPMed panel improves the identification of rare and low-frequency variants. We identified 26 distinct signals including a novel genome-wide significant variant (minor allele frequency 1.6%, OR=2.0, P=3.4×10 −9 ) near ORC5 . A Latino-tailored polygenic score constructed from our data and GWAS data from East Asian and European populations improves the prediction accuracy in a Latino target dataset, explaining up to 7.6% of the type 2 diabetes risk variance. Conclusions Our results demonstrate the utility of TOPMed imputation for identifying low-frequency variation in understudied populations, leading to the discovery of novel disease associations and the improvement of polygenic scores.","journal":"medRxiv","year":2022,"id":298861,"datarank":0.26876392038420827,"base_score":1.791759469228055,"endowment":1.791759469228055,"self_citation_contribution":0.26876392038420827,"citation_network_contribution":0.0,"self_endowment_contribution":0.26876392038420827,"citer_contribution":0.0,"corpus_percentile":null,"corpus_rank":null,"citation_count":5,"citer_count":0,"citers_with_citation_signal":0,"citers_with_endowment":0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"is_dataset":false,"is_dataset_confidence":0.9468,"is_data_producer":false,"deposit_databanks":null,"is_oa":true,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"has_version_chain":false,"published_date":"2022-01-01","fair_score":null,"fair_percentile":null,"algorithm_id":"datarank_citation_only_1hop_v6","ranking_scope":"data_only","authors":[{"id":707669,"name":"Philip Schroeder","orcid":"0000-0002-9885-7787","position":1,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":316845,"name":"Ravi Mandla","orcid":"0000-0002-0782-0138","position":2,"is_corresponding":false},{"id":988242,"name":"Aaron J.
