Genome-wide association study of alcohol consumption and use disorder in 274,424 individuals from multiple populations.

Manhattan plots for age-adjusted mean AUDIT-C score and AUD diagnosis. a Manhattan plot of the genome-wide association meta-analysis of AUDIT-C across all five populations (N = 272,842). b Manhattan plot of the genome-wide association meta-analysis of AUD across five populations (55,584 cases and 218,807 controls). Red lines show the genome-wide significance level (5.0 × 10−8). EA: European American, AA: African American, LA: Hispanic or Latino, EAA: East Asian American, SAA: South Asian American. Labeled genes at the top of the peaks indicate completely independent signals after conditional analysis in meta-analysis. Population-specific loci are labeled at the bottom of the circles in the lower part of each figure. []: no genes within 500 kb to the lead SNP

Heritability estimate, partitioning enrichments of heritability, and genetic correlation analyses using LD score regression. a SNP-based heritability for AUDIT-C and AUD in the three populations and sex-stratified samples adequate in size for the analysis. b Partitioned heritability enrichment of cell type groups for AUDIT-C and AUD. Ten cell types tested were corrected for multiple testing. The black dashed line is the cutoff for Bonferroni-corrected significance. The gray dashed line is the cutoff for FDR < 0.05. c Genetic correlations with other traits. Data from 714 publicly available datasets (221 published and 493 unpublished from UK Biobank) were tested and corrected for multiple comparisons. The significantly correlated traits presented are for published data. Black lines are the cutoff for Bonferroni-corrected significance, with asterisks showing traits significant after correction. The traits are grouped into different categories and sorted by the genetic correlations with AUDIT-C (upper panel) or AUD (lower panel).
