This study aimed to identify susceptibility genes and pathways associated with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) by integrating whole transcriptome-wide association study (TWAS) analysis and mRNA expression profiling data. AS genome-wide association study (GWAS) summary data from the large GWAS database were used. This included data of 1265 AS patients and 452264 controls. A TWAS of AS was conducted using these data. The analysis software used was FUSION, and Epstein-Barr virus–transformed lymphocytes, transformed fibroblasts, peripheral blood, and whole blood were used as gene expression references. Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analyses were performed for the important genes identified via TWAS. Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network analysis based on the STRING database was also performed to detect genes shared by TWAS and mRNA expression profiles in AS. TWAS identified 920 genes (P |
