Overview of Gene Research
Wdr88, or WD repeat-containing protein 88, is a gene with an initially unknown function. Its role in biological processes is being explored, and genetic models are valuable for understanding its function more precisely.
In a transcriptome-wide analysis (TWAS) for infectious diseases, a significant association was found between Wdr88 and candidiasis (p = 1.95×10⁻⁶), suggesting its involvement in the genetic susceptibility to this infectious disease [1]. Additionally, in an analysis of exome array data for schizophrenia, gene-wise equivalent of genome-wide significant (GWS) support was identified for Wdr88 (P = 6.5×10⁻⁷), indicating that rare alleles of this gene contribute to the genetic architecture of schizophrenia [2].
In conclusion, Wdr88 appears to be involved in the genetic susceptibility of diseases such as candidiasis and schizophrenia. These findings from different studies using various genetic analysis methods help to understand the role of Wdr88 in disease-related biological processes, providing insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying these diseases.
