Identification of hypertension susceptibility loci on rat chromosome 12.

ABSTRACT: Previous studies have identified multiple blood pressure and renal disease quantitative trait loci located on rat chromosome 12. In the present study, we narrowed blood pressure loci using a series of overlapping Dahl salt-sensitive/Mcwi (SS)-12 Brown Norway (BN) congenic lines. We found that transferring 6.1 Mb of SS chromosome 12 (13.4-19.5 Mb) onto the consomic SS-12BN background significantly elevated blood pressure on 1% NaCl (146±6 versus 127±1 mm Hg; P<0.001) and 8% NaCl diets (178±7 versus 144±2 mm Hg; P<0.001). Compared with the SS-12BN consomic, these animals also had significantly elevated albumin (218±31 versus 104±8 mg/d; P<0.001) and protein excretion (347±41 versus 195±12 mg/d; P<0.001) on a 1% NaCl diet. Elevated blood pressure, albuminuria, and proteinuria coincided with greater renal and cardiac damage, demonstrating that SS allele(s) within the 6.1 Mb congenic interval are associated with strong cardiovascular disease phenotypes. Sequence analysis of the 6.1 Mb congenic region revealed 12 673 single nucleotide polymorphisms between SS and BN rats. Of these polymorphisms, 293 lie within coding regions, and 18 resulted in nonsynonymous changes in conserved genes, of which 5 were predicted to be potentially damaging to protein function. Syntenic regions in human chromosome 7 have also been identified in multiple linkage and association studies of cardiovascular disease, suggesting that genetic variants underlying cardiovascular phenotypes in this congenic strain can likely be translated to a better understanding of human hypertension.

Project description:The circulating concentrations of triglycerides, high density lipoprotein (HDL)?cholesterol, and low density lipoprotein (LDL)?cholesterol have a substantial genetic component, and the heritability of early?onset dyslipidemia might be expected to be higher compared with late?onset forms. In the present study, exome?wide association studies (EWASs) were performed for early?onset hypertriglyceridemia, hypo?HDL?cholesterolemia, and hyper?LDL?cholesterolemia, with the aim to identify genetic variants that confer susceptibility to these conditions in the Japanese population. A total of 8,073 individuals aged ?65 years were enrolled in the study. The EWASs for hypertriglyceridemia (2,664 cases and 5,294 controls), hypo?HDL?cholesterolemia (974 cases and 7,085 controls), and hyper?LDL?cholesterolemia (2,911 cases and 5,111 controls) were performed with Illumina Human Exome?12 v1.2 DNA Analysis BeadChip or Infinium Exome?24 v1.0 BeadChip arrays. The association of allele frequencies for 31,198, 31,133, or 31,175 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) to hypertriglyceridemia, hypo?HDL?cholesterolemia, or hyper?LDL?cholesterolemia, respectively, was examined with Fisher's exact test. To compensate for multiple comparisons of genotypes with each of the three conditions, Bonferroni's correction was applied for statistical significance of association. The results demonstrated that 25, 28 and 65 SNPs were significantly associated with hypertriglyceridemia, hypo?HDL?cholesterolemia and hyper?LDL?cholesterolemia, respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for age and sex revealed that all 25, 28 and 65 of these SNPs were significantly associated with hypertriglyceridemia, hypo?HDL?cholesterolemia and hyper?LDL?cholesterolemia, respectively. Following examination of the association of the identified SNPs to serum concentrations of triglycerides, HDL?cholesterol, or LDL?cholesterol, linkage disequilibrium of the SNPs, and results of previous genome?wide association studies, we newly identified chromosomal region 19p12 as a susceptibility locus for hypertriglyceridemia, eight loci (MOB3C?TMOD4, LPGAT1, EHD3, COL6A3, ZNF860?CACNA1D, COL6A5, DCLRE1C, ZNF77) for hypo?HDL?cholesterolemia, and three loci (KIAA0319?FAM65B, UBD, LOC105375015) for hyper?LDL?cholesterolemia. The present study thus identified 12 novel loci that may confer susceptibility to early?onset dyslipidemia. Determination of genotypes for the SNPs at these loci may prove informative for assessment of genetic risk for hypertriglyceridemia, hypo?HDL?cholesterolemia, or hyper?LDL?cholesterolemia in the Japanese population.

Project description:BackgroundHypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), and dyslipidemia (DL) are well-known risk factors of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but not all patients develop CVDs. Studies have been limited investigating genetic risk of CVDs specific to individuals with metabolic diseases. This study aimed to identify disease-specific and/or common genetic loci associated with CVD susceptibility in chronic metabolic disease patients.MethodsWe conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of a multiple case-control design with data from the City Cohort within Health EXAminees subcohort of the Korean Genome and Epidemiology Study (KoGES_HEXA). KoGES_HEXA is a population-based prospective cohort of 173,357 urban Korean adults that had health examinations at medical centers. 42,393 participants (16,309 HTN; 5,314 DM; 20,770 DL) were analyzed, and each metabolic disease group was divided into three CVD case-controls: coronary artery disease (CAD), ischemic stroke (IS), and cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CCD). GWASs were conducted for each case-control group with 7,975,321 imputed single nucleotide polymorphisms using the Phase 3 Asian panel from 1000 Genomes Project, by logistic regression and controlled for confounding variables. Genome-wide significant levels were implemented to identify important susceptibility loci.ResultsTotaling 42,393 individuals, this study included 16,309 HTN (mean age [SD], 57.28 [7.45]; 816 CAD, 398 IS, and 1,185 CCD cases), 5,314 DM (57.79 [7.39]; 361 CAD, 153 IS, and 497 CCD cases), and 20,770 DL patients (55.34 [7.63]; 768 CAD, 295 IS, and 1,039 CCD cases). Six genome-wide significant CVD risk loci were identified, with relatively large effect sizes: 1 locus in HTN (HTN-CAD: 17q25.3/CBX8-CBX4 [OR, 2.607; P = 6.37 × 10-9]), 2 in DM (DM-IS: 4q32.3/MARCH1-LINC01207 [OR, 5.587; P = 1.34 × 10-8], and DM-CCD: 17q25.3/RPTOR [OR, 3.511; P = 1.99 × 10-8]), and 3 in DL (DL-CAD: 9q22.2/UNQ6494-LOC101927847 [OR, 2.282; P = 7.78 × 10-9], DL-IS: 3p22.1/ULK4 [OR, 2.162; P = 2.97 × 10-8], and DL-CCD: 2p22.2/CYP1B1-CYP1B1-AS1 [OR, 2.027; P = 4.24 × 10-8]).ConclusionsThis study identified 6 susceptibility loci and positional candidate genes for CVDs in HTN, DM, and DL patients using an unprecedented study design. 1 locus (17q25.3) was commonly associated with CAD. These associations warrant validation in additional studies for potential therapeutic applications.

Project description:Early?onset cardiovascular and renal diseases have a strong genetic component. In the present study, exome?wide association studies (EWASs) were performed to identify genetic variants that confer susceptibility to early?onset myocardial infarction (MI), hypertension, or chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Japanese individuals. A total of 8,093 individuals aged ?65 years was enrolled in the study. The EWASs for MI, hypertension, and CKD were performed in 6,926 subjects (1,152 cases, 5,774 controls), 8,080 subjects (3,444 cases, 4,636 controls), and 2,556 subjects (1,051 cases, 1,505 controls), respectively. Genotyping of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) was performed with Illumina Human Exome?12 DNA Analysis BeadChip or Infinium Exome?24 BeadChip arrays. The associations of allele frequencies for 31,245, 31,276, or 31,514 SNPs that passed quality control to MI, hypertension, and CKD, respectively, was examined with Fisher's exact test. Bonferroni's correction for statistical significance of association was applied to compensate for multiple comparisons of genotypes with MI, hypertension, or CKD. The EWASs of allele frequencies revealed that 25, 11, and 11 SNPs were significantly associated with MI (P<1.60x10?6), hypertension (P<1.60x10?6), or CKD (P<1.59x10?6), respectively. Multivariable logistic regression analysis with adjustment for covariates showed that all 25, 11, and 11 SNPs were significantly associated with MI (P<0.0005), hypertension (P<0.0011), or CKD (P<0.0011), respectively. On examination of the results from previous genome?wide association studies and linkage disequilibrium of the identified SNPs, 11 loci (TMOD4, COL6A3, ADGRL3?CXCL8?MARCH1, OR52E4, TCHP?GIT2, CCDC63, 12q24.1, OAS3, PLCB2?VPS33B, GOSR2, ZNF77), six loci (MOB3C?TMOD4, COL6A3, COL6A5, CXCL8?MARCH1, NFKBIL1?6p21.3?NCR3, PLCB2?VPS33B), and seven loci (MOB3C?TMOD4, COL6A3, COL6A5, ADGRL3?CXCL8?MARCH1, MUC17, PLCB2?VPS33B, ZNF77) were identified as novel loci significantly associated with MI, hypertension, and CKD, respectively. Furthermore, six genes (TMOD4, COL6A3, CXCL8, MARCH1, PLCB2, VPS33B) were significantly associated with MI, hypertension and CKD; two genes (ADGRL3, ZNF77) with MI and CKD; and two genes (COL6A5, MOB3C) with hypertension and CKD. Therefore, 13 novel loci (MOB3C?TMOD4, COL6A3, ADGRL3?CXCL8?MARCH1, OR52E4, TCHP?GIT2, CCDC63, 12q24.1, OAS3, PLCB2?VPS33B, ZNF77, COL6A5, NFKBIL1?NCR3, MUC17) were identified that confer susceptibility to early?onset MI, hypertension, or CKD. The determination of genotypes for the SNPs at these loci may provide informative for assessment of the genetic risk for MI, hypertension, or CKD.
