An analysis of pleiotropy between loci associated with IgG glycans and previously reported disease/trait susceptibility loci, with linkage disequilibrium computed between the most significantly associated SNPs.
<p>Associations are those found in the GWAS Catalog track of USCS Genome browser (accessed 04/07/2012) and LD has been calculated using SNAP (<a href="http://www.broadinstitute.org/mpg/snap/Johnson" target="_blank">http://www.broadinstitute.org/mpg/snap/Johnson</a>, A.

Groups of IgG N-glycans from Table 3 that showed statistically significant difference in observed values (corrected by sex, age, and African admixture) between 101 Afro-Caribbean cases with SLE and 183 controls.

A complete list of genetic markers that showed genome-wide significant (P<2.27E-9) or strongly suggestive (Pā¤5E-08) association with glycosylation of Immunoglobulin G analysed by UPLC in the discovery meta-analysis.

Twelve groups of IgG N-glycans (of 77 measured) that showed nominally significant difference (p<0.05) in observed values between 5 mice that were heterozygous <i>Ikzf1</i> knock-outs (Neo) and 5 wild-type controls (wt).
<p>The global difference test was significant (pā=ā0.03). <sup>*</sup>t-test for equality of means (2-tailed).</p
Validation of biomarker potential of IGP48 IgG N-glycan percentage in prediction of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in 101 Afro-Caribbean cases and 183 matched controls.
<p>As shown in the graph, age and sex do not have any predictive power for this disease, but addition of IGP48 substantially increases sensitivity and specificity of prediction, with area under receiver-operator curve increased to 0.828.</p
