APOL1 risk variants (G1 and G2) were genotyped using TaqMan SNP Genotyping Assays (Applied Biosystems/ThermoFisher Scientific).9 (link),22 (link)APOL1 high-risk status was defined as the presence of 2 risk alleles (G1/G1, G2/G2, or G1/G2) versus the low-risk status, defined as having 1 or 0 risk variants (G1/G0, G2/G0, G0/G0), representing a recessive model. Sickle cell trait (HbS) was genotyped as described in Naik et al.23 (link) In secondary analyses, an additive (0, 1, 2 risk alleles) and dominant model (2 or 1 APOL1 risk alleles versus 0 risk alleles) were assessed. A subset of participants had available genomic array data (Illumina exome chip) to estimate population substructure (n=6714) via principal components generated using EIGENSOFT software.24 (link),25 (link) In sensitivity analyses, principal components were used to adjust for African ancestry in the subset with available data.

In EIMS and GEMS, HLA-DRB1 and HLA-A alleles were determined at 4-digit resolution. Genotyping was performed on the MS replication chip,15 (link) which is based on an Illumina exome chip, and HLA was then imputed with HLA*IMP:02.16 (link) In EIRA, HLA-DRB1 genotypes were obtained as previously described.13 (link) In EIMS and GEMS, we used multiplex serology to detect immunoglobulin G antibodies against the EBNA-1 peptide segment (aa 385–420),17 (link),18 (link) which has been identified as the primary EBNA-1 fragment associated with MS risk.19 (link) Dual-laser flow-based detection was used to quantify the antibodies in median flourescence intensity (MFI) units. We dichotomized EBNA-1 antibody levels based on the median seroreactivity among controls (5,620 MFI) into groups with high and low EBNA-1 antibody levels.7 (link) To study whether the potential interaction between obesity at age 20 years and high EBNA-1 antibody levels was affected by increasing EBNA-1 levels, we also divided the participants into 4 groups based on the seroreactivity among controls at the 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
HLA-DRB1 and HLA-A alleles were determined at four-digit resolution. Genotyping was performed on the MS replication chip (11 ), which is based on an Illumina exome chip to which ~90,000 custom markers were added with extra-high density in the HLA region, and HLA alleles were then imputed with HLA*IMP:02 (12 (link)).
A multiplex serological assay using beads loaded with recombinant glutathione s-transferase fusion proteins was used for detection of IgG antibodies against the EBNA1 peptide segment (aa 385–420) (13 (link), 14 (link)), which has been identified as the primary EBNA1 fragment associated with MS risk (9 (link)). Dual-laser flow-based detection was used to quantify the antibodies as units of median flourescence intensity. Anti-EBNA-1 antibody levels were dichotomized based on the median among controls, defining groups with high and low anti-EBNA-1 antibody levels. We also categorized anti-EBNA-1 antibody levels based on the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles among controls in order to perform a sensitivity analysis.

Sardinian GWAS for T1D and MS

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The Sardinian T1D and MS GWAS case-control studies were performed using combined data sets where all samples were genotyped with ImmunoChip (Illumina) and subsets of the samples were genotyped with Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0 (Affymetrix) and OmniExpress (Illumina). This combined approach after quality controls brought 883,557 SNPs subjected to the parallel GWAS studies on MS and T1D (Supplementary Figure.1). See Supplementary material for details for GWAS on MS and T1D using the integrated map (ImmunoChip, OmniExpress and Genome-Wide Human SNP Array 6.0).
To study PRF1:p.A91V mutation effect on phenotypes, the association results from the SardiNIA general population were used. The association results are based on 6,521 SardiNIA volunteers genotyped with Illumina arrays (OmniExpress, ImmunoChip, Cardio-MetaboChip and ExomeChip; 890,542 SNPs in total) [13 (link)]. Samples from both cohorts were imputed with Minimac3 on a Next Generation Sequencing based reference panel of 3,514 Sardinian individuals [13 (link)].

In brief, we genotyped 6,602 individuals from four villages in the Lanusei valley on Sardinia (>60% of the adult population). Each sample was genotyped on four different Illumina Infinium arrays: OmniExpress, Cardio-Metabochip (Voight et al., 2012 (link)), Immunochip (Parkes et al., 2013 (link)), and Exome Chip. We also performed low-depth (~4x coverage) whole-genome sequencing on 3,839 individuals, 2,340 of whom we also genotyped. Study samples, genotyping, sequencing and variant calling have been previously described (Sidore et al., 2015 (link)).
Over 100 traits (e.g. blood lab measurements, anthropometric values) have been measured at 4 to 5 time-points. We looked at 120 traits from the first visit, for which the majority of the individuals have measurements (median number of samples with at least one measurement per trait= 5814, first quartile= 5473, third quartile= 5923). The traits have been previously summarized (Pilia et al., 2006 (link)).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
