The rs6929846 SNP of BTN2A1, but not rs2569512 of ILF3, was also significantly associated with MI in Japanese subject panel C. However, the association of neither rs6929846 nor rs2569512 with MI was replicated in the Korean population.
Meta-analysis of GWAS of over 16,000 individuals with autism spectrum disorder highlights a novel locus at 10q24.32 and a significant overlap with schizophrenia.

Large-scale association analysis identifies new lung cancer susceptibility loci and heterogeneity in genetic susceptibility across histological subtypes.
We have previously shown that the C→T polymorphism (rs6929846) of the butyrophilin, subfamily 2, member A1 gene (BTN2A1) was significantly associated with myocardial infarction.
Multivariable logistic regression analyses with adjustment for covariates revealed that rs6929846 of BTN2A1 was significantly associated with MI in individuals with (P=0.0001; odds ratio, 1.49) or without (P=1.6x10-7; odds ratio, 2.32) hypertension; in individuals with (P=0.0002; odds ratio, 1.65) or without (P=8.1x10-7; odds ratio, 1.76) DM; and in individuals without CKD (P=6.0x10-11; odds ratio, 2.03), but not in those with CKD.
Given that diabetes mellitus is an important risk factor for myocardial infarction, the association of rs6929846 of BTN2A1 with myocardial infarction might be attributable, at least in part, to its effect on susceptibility to diabetes.
Given that metabolic syndrome (MetS) is an important risk factor for myocardial infarction, the association of the rs6929846 of BTN2A1 with myocardial infarction</span> might be attributable, at least in part, to its effect on susceptibility to MetS.
We showed that the C→T polymorphism (rs6929846) of BTN2A1 and A→G polymorphism (rs2569512) of ILF3 were significantly associated with myocardial infarction in Japanese individuals by a genome-wide association study.
Given that hypertension is a major risk factor for myocar</span>dial infarction, the association of rs6929846 of BTN2A1 with myocardial infarction</span> might be attributable, at least in part, to its effect on susceptibility to hypertension.
The results suggest that the relationship between rs6929846 of BTN2A1 or rs2569512 of ILF3 and MI is influenced by the serum concentrations of HDL and LDL cholesterol, respectively.
Seventy single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) significantly (P<1.0×10(-7)) associated with MIby the GWAS were examined further in Japanese subject panel B, revealing two SNPs (rs6929846 of BTN2A1, rs2569512 of ILF3) to be significantly (P<0.0007) associated with MI.
Longitudinal analysis with a generalized estimating equation and with adjustment for age, gender, body mass index and smoking status revealed that rs2116519 of family with sequence similarity 78, member B (FAM78B; P=0.0266), rs6929846 of butyrophilin, subfamily 2, member A1 (BTN2A1; P=0.0013), rs146021107 of pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 (PDX1; P=0.0031) and rs1671021 of lethal giant larvae homolog 2 (Drosophila) (LLGL2; P=0.0372) were significantly (P<0.05) associated with the prevalence of hypertension.
Multivariable logistic regression analyses with adjustment for covariates revealed that rs6929846 of BTN2A1 was significantly associated with MI in individuals with (P=0.0001; odds ratio, 1.49) or without (P=1.6x10-7; odds ratio, 2.32) hypertension; in individuals with (P=0.0002; odds ratio, 1.65) or without (P=8.1x10-7; odds ratio, 1.76) DM; and in individuals without CKD (P=6.0x10-11; odds ratio, 2.03), but not in those with CKD.

Multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates revealed that the C→T polymorphism (rs6929846) of BTN2A1 was significantly associated with the prevalence of CKD in subject panels A (P = 0.0422; recessive model; odds ratio, 2.36) and B (P = 0.0386; dominant model; odds ratio, 1.21) with the T allele representing a risk for this condition.
Longitudinal analysis with a generalized estimating equation and with adjustment for covariates revealed that rs6929846 of butyrophilin, subfamily 2, member A1 gene (BTN2A1) was significantly associated with the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia (P=0.0001), hyper-LDL cholesterolemia (P=0.0004), and CKD (P=0.0007); rs2569512 of interleukin enhancer binding factor 3 (ILF3) was associated with hyper-LDL cholesterolemia (P=0.0029); and rs2074379 (P=0.0019) and rs2074388 (P=0.0029) of alpha-kinase 1 (ALPK1) were associated with CKD.
