PrediXcan replication of WFS1 association with hearing loss in an independent cohort of 18,620 patients from the Vanderbilt University BioVU Repository
| Tissue | WFS1 PVE [95% CI]a | PheWAS Code | Statisticb | Pc | Phenotype |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brain - Hypothalamus | 0.23 [0.006, 0.83] | 389 | −3.4 | 0.00066 | Hearing loss |
| Brain - Hypothalamus | 0.23 [0.006, 0.83] | 389.1 | −3.3 | 0.0011 | Sensorineural hearing loss |
| Artery | 0.09 [0.003, 0.34] | 389.1 | −2.1 | 0.036 | Sensorineural hearing loss |
| Brain - Nucleus accumbens (basal ganglia) | 0.15 [0.006, 0.66] | 389 | −2.0 | 0.044 | Hearing loss |
PVE = proportion of variance in WFS1 expression explained by genetic effects (SNPs within 1 Mb) using Bayesian Sparse Linear Mixed Modeling (BSLMM), CI = credible interval
Negative statistic indicates decreased imputed expression is associated with increased susceptibility to phenotype
P values < 0.05 are shown. The Bonferroni significance level accounting for the 22 tests performed is P < 0.002.
