Association of ADRB2 polymorphism with triglyceride levels in Tongans.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Our previous study demonstrated that the A-allele of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs34623097 located in the upstream region of the ?2 adrenergic receptor gene (ADRB2) is significantly associated with risk for obesity in Oceanic populations. METHODS: To investigate whether the ADRB2 polymorphisms explain part of the individual differences in lipid mobilization, energy expenditure and glycogen breakdown, the associations of 10 ADRB2 SNPs with total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride levels were examined in 128 adults in Tonga. RESULTS: A multiple linear regression analysis adjusted for age, sex, and body mass index revealed that rs34623097 was significantly associated with triglyceride levels (P-value?=?0.037). A copy of the rs34623097-A allele increased serum triglyceride levels by 70.1 mg/dL (0.791 mmol/L). None of the ADRB2 SNPs showed a significant association with total-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol. CONCLUSIONS: In a Tongan population, a SNP located in the upstream region of ADRB2 is associated with triglyceride levels independent of body mass index.

Project description:Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public Institution(s). Main funding source(s): Prof. V.F. Voino-Yasenetsky Krasnoyarsk State Medical University Aim To evaluate the Association of rs1042713 polymorphism of the ADRB2 gene with dilated idiopathic cardiomyopathy (DCMP) and myocardial dilation of ischemic origin (DMI). Subjects and methods The study included patients with ICMP and DMI in the number of 221 people. The average age of the subjects was in the range of 55.30 ± 9.69 years. We divided the patients into 2 groups: the first – patients diagnosed with idiopathic dilatation cardiomyopathy and the second-patients with myocardial dilatation of ichemic origin. The number of patients in the first group was 111, including 99 men (89.2%) and 12 women (10.8%). The average age of patients in this group is 51.73 ± 9.74 years, in men 51.00 ± 8.96 years, in women 57.75 ± 3.71 years. The second group included patients with myocardial dilatation of ischemic origin. Their number is 110 people, including 100 men (91.5%) and 10 women (8.5%). The average age of respondents is 58.68 ± 8.38 years, for men 58.29 ± 8.46 years, for women 62.90 ± 6.29 years. The control group included patients who had no manifestations of cardiovascular diseases. Their number is 121 people (average age 53.6 ± 4.8 years). The patients underwent laboratory and instrumental studies, as well as molecular and genetic studies of the 16 AG polymorphism of the ADRB2 gene (rs1042713). All patients underwent coronary angiography. Based on the anamnesis data and instrumental studies, those patients who could be said to have no risk factors for the development of dilatation of the heart cavities were identified in the first group. And those patients who were reliably diagnosed with CHD were in the second group, that is, dilatation of the heart cavities is due to a previous myocardial infarction, existing angina pectoris. Results In the group with DCMP 10.8% of patients were carriers of the common homozygous 16AA genotype, the heterozygous 16AG genotype-48.6%, and the rare homozygous 16GG genotype-40.5%. In the control group 11.8% of patients were identified as carriers of a homozygous genotype by a common allele, and 47.5% were carriers heterozygous genotype, and homozygous genotype for a rare allele – 40.7%. The analysis non revealed a statistically significant decrease in the frequency of carrying the homozygous 16GG genotype in patients with DCMP compared to the control group of the rs1042713 polymorphism of the ADRB2 gene. In the group with DM IG, there was no association with the rs1042713 polymorphism of the ADRB2 gene. Conclusion A statistically significant association of rs1042713 of the ADRB2 gene with DCMP was not found. The association of DMI c rs1042713 could not be confirmed.

Project description:BackgroundThe -493G/T polymorphism in the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) gene is associated with lower serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and triglyceride (TG) levels and longevity in several populations, but the results are inconsistent in different racial/ethnic groups. The current study was to investigate the plausible association of MTP -493G/T polymorphism with serum lipid levels and longevity in Zhuang long-lived families residing in Bama area, a famous home of longevity in Guangxi, China.MethodsThe MTP -493G/T was genotyped by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism in 391 Bama Zhuang long-lived families (BLF, n = 1467, age 56.60 ± 29.43 years) and four control groups recruited from Bama and out-of-Bama area with or without a familial history of exceptional longevity: Bama non-long-lived families (BNLF, n = 586, age 44.81 ± 26.83 years), Bama non-Zhuang long-lived families (BNZLF, n = 444, age 52.09 ± 31.91 years), Pingguo long-lived families (PLF, n = 658, age 50.83 ± 30.30 years), and Pingguo non-long-lived families (PNLF, n = 539, age 38.74 ± 24.69 years). Correlation analyses between genotypes and serum lipid levels and longevity were then performed.ResultsNo particularly favorable lipoprotein and clinical phenotypes were seen in BLF as compared to general families in the same area. Instead, the levels of total cholesterol (TC), TG, LDL-C, and the prevalence of dyslipidemia were significantly higher in the three Bama families as compared to the two non-Bama families (P < 0.01 for all). There were no differences in the allelic and genotypic frequencies among the tested cohorts (P > 0.05 for all), but the TT genotype tended to enrich in the three long-lived cohorts from both areas. In addition, the individuals harboring TT genotype exhibited lower LDL-C and TC levels in the overall populations and Bama populations with a region- and sex-specific pattern. Multiple linear regression analyses unraveled that LDL-C levels were correlated with genotypes in Bama combined population, BNLF, and the total population (P < 0.05 for each) but not in Pingguo populations; TC and HDL-C levels were correlated with genotypes in Bama combined population and BLF, respectively (P < 0.05 for each).ConclusionsMTP -493G/T polymorphism may play an important role in fashioning the serum lipid profiles of Bama populations, despite no direct association between MTP -493G/T and longevity was detected.
