A nutrigenetic approach for investigating the relationship between vitamin B12 status and metabolic traits in Indonesian women.

ABSTRACT: Purpose:Adverse effects of maternal vitamin B12 deficiency have been linked to major clinical outcomes, including increased body mass index and gestational diabetes, however, less is known about vitamin B12 nutrition in non-pregnant women. Hence, the aim of the present study was to explore the relationships between metabolic traits and vitamin B12 status in a cohort of healthy Indonesian women and to investigate whether these relationships were modified by dietary intake using a genetic approach. Methods:A total of 117 Minangkabau women (aged 25-60 years), from the city of Padang, West Sumatra underwent anthropometric, biochemical, dietary intake analysis and genetic tests. Genetic risk scores (GRS) based on nine vitamin B12 associated single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (B12-GRS) and nine metabolic SNPs (metabolic-GRS) were constructed. Results:The B12-GRS and metabolic-GRS had no effect on vitamin B12 (P?>?0.160) and metabolic traits (P?>?0.085). However, an interaction was observed between the B12-GRS and dietary fibre intake (g) on glycated haemoglobin (HbA1C) levels (P interaction?=?0.042), where among those who consumed a low fibre diet (4.90?±?1.00 g/day), individuals carrying ?9 risk alleles for vitamin B12 deficiency had significantly higher HbA1C levels (P?=?0.025) compared to those carrying ?8 risk alleles. Conclusion:Our study showed a significant impact of the B12-GRS on HbA1C concentrations through the influence of a dietary factor, however, our study failed to provide evidence for an impact of metabolic-GRS on lowering B12 concentrations. Further replication studies utilizing larger sample sizes are needed to confirm our findings.

Project description:BackgroundVitamin B12 is an essential micronutrient in humans needed for health maintenance. Deficiency of vitamin B12 has been linked to dietary, environmental and genetic factors. Evidence for the genetic basis of vitamin B12 status is poorly understood. However, advancements in genomic techniques have increased the knowledge-base of the genetics of vitamin B12 status. Based on the candidate gene and genome-wide association (GWA) studies, associations between genetic loci in several genes involved in vitamin B12 metabolism have been identified.ObjectiveThe objective of this literature review was to identify and discuss reports of associations between single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in vitamin B12 pathway genes and their influence on the circulating levels of vitamin B12.MethodsRelevant articles were obtained through a literature search on PubMed through to May 2017. An article was included if it examined an association of a SNP with serum or plasma vitamin B12 concentration. Beta coefficients and odds ratios were used to describe the strength of an association, and a P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Two reviewers independently evaluated the eligibility for the inclusion criteria and extracted the data.ResultsFrom 23 studies which fulfilled the selection criteria, 16 studies identified SNPs that showed statistically significant associations with vitamin B12 concentrations. Fifty-nine vitamin B12-related gene polymorphisms associated with vitamin B12 status were identified in total, from the following populations: African American, Brazilian, Canadian, Chinese, Danish, English, European ancestry, Icelandic, Indian, Italian, Latino, Northern Irish, Portuguese and residents of the USA.ConclusionOverall, the data analyzed suggests that ethnic-specific associations are involved in the genetic determination of vitamin B12 concentrations. However, despite recent success in genetic studies, the majority of identified genes that could explain variation in vitamin B12 concentrations were from Caucasian populations. Further research utilizing larger sample sizes of non-Caucasian populations is necessary in order to better understand these ethnic-specific associations.

Project description:BackgroundSeveral candidate genes and genome wide association studies have reported significant associations between vitamin D metabolism genes and 25-hydroxyvitamin D. Few studies have examined these relationships in pregnancy.ObjectiveWe evaluated the relationship between maternal allelic variants in three vitamin D metabolism genes and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentration in pregnancy.Study designIn two case-control studies, samples were drawn from women who delivered at Magee Womens Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA from 1999 to 2010 and twelve recruiting sites across the United States from 1959 to 65. For 882 Black and 1796 White pregnant women from these studies, 25(OH)D concentration was measured and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were genotyped 50 kilobases up- and down-stream in three genes (VDR, GC, and CYP27B1). Using multivariable linear regression, we estimated the associations between allelic variation of each locus and log-transformed 25(OH)D concentration separately by race and study group. Meta-analysis was used to estimate the association across the four groups for each SNP.ResultsMinor alleles of several variants in VDR, GC, and CYP27B1 were associated with differences in log-transformed 25(OH)D concentration compared to the corresponding major alleles [beta, 95% confidence intervals (CI)]. The meta-analysis confirmed the associations for differences in log-transformed 25(OH)D by allelic loci for one intron VDR variant [rs2853559 0.08 (0.02, 0.13), p<0.01] and a variant in the GC flanking region [rs13150174: 0.04 (0.02, 0.07), p<0.01], and a GC missense mutation [rs7041 0.05 (0.01, 0.09), p<0.01]. The meta-analysis also revealed possible associations for SNPs in linkage disequilibrium with variants in the VDR 3-prime untranslated region, another GC missense variant (rs4588), and a variant of the 3-prime untranslated region of CYP27B1.ConclusionWe observed associations between VDR, GC, and CYP27B1 variants and maternal 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration. Our results provide additional support for a possible role of genetic variation in vitamin D metabolism genes on vitamin D status during pregnancy.
