The SNP rs7865618 of 9p21.3 locus emerges as the most promising marker of coronary artery disease in the southern Indian population.

ABSTRACT: Development of coronary artery disease (CAD) is primarily due to the process of atherosclerosis, however the prognosis of CAD depends on pleiotropic effects of the genes located at 9p21.3 region. Genome wide association studies revealed association of variants in this region with CAD pathology. However, specific marker in predicting CAD development or progression is not yet identified. In the present study, 35 SNPs at 9p21.3 region, located in the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor (CDKN2A/CDKN2B) genes, were genotyped among 350 CAD cases and 480 controls from the southern Indian population of Hyderabad using fluidigm nanofluidic SNP genotyping system and the data were analyzed using PLINK and R softwares. Of the 35 SNPs analysed, only one SNP, rs7865618, was found to be highly significantly associated with CAD, even after correction for multiple testing (p?=?0.008). The AG and GG genotypes of this SNP conferred 3.08 and 1.93 folds increased risk for CAD respectively. In particular, this SNP was significantly associated with severe anatomic (triple vessel disease p?=?0.023) and phenotypic (acute coronary syndrome p?=?0.007) categories of CAD. Pair wise SNP interaction analysis between the SNPs of 9p21.3 and 11q23.3 regions revealed significantly increased risk of three SNPs of 11q23.3 region that were not associated individually, in conjunction with rs7865618 of 9p21.3.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Southern stem canker (SSC), caused by Diaporthe aspalathi (E. Jansen, Castl. & Crous), is an important soybean disease that has been responsible for severe losses in the past. The main strategy for controlling this fungus involves the introgression of resistance genes. Thus far, five main loci have been associated with resistance to SSC. However, there is a lack of information about useful allelic variation at these loci. In this work, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was performed to identify allelic variation associated with resistance against Diaporthe aspalathi and to provide molecular markers that will be useful in breeding programs. RESULTS:We characterized the response to SSC infection in a panel of 295 accessions from different regions of the world, including important Brazilian elite cultivars. Using a GBS approach, the panel was genotyped, and we identified marker loci associated with Diaporthe aspalathi resistance through GWAS. We identified 19 SNPs associated with southern stem canker resistance, all on chromosome 14. The peak SNP showed an extremely high degree of association (p-value?=?6.35E-27) and explained a large amount of the observed phenotypic variance (R2?=?70%). This strongly suggests that a single major gene is responsible for resistance to D. aspalathi in most of the lines constituting this panel. In resequenced soybean materials, we identified other SNPs in the region identified through GWAS in the same LD block that clearly differentiate resistant and susceptible accessions. The peak SNP was selected and used to develop a cost-effective molecular marker assay, which was validated in a subset of the initial panel. In an accuracy test, this SNP assay demonstrated 98% selection efficiency. CONCLUSIONS:Our results suggest relevance of this locus to SSC resistance in soybean cultivars and accessions from different countries, and the SNP marker assay developed in this study can be directly applied in MAS studies in breeding programs to select materials that are resistant against this pathogen and support its introgression.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to investigate the susceptibility of two coronary artery disease (CAD)-associated single nucleotide polymorphisms on 9p21 (rs1333049 and rs10757278) to myocardial infarction (MI) in a primary (stratification of high risk group for MI) and secondary prevention setting. The prospective observational study included 500 patients with MI [411 males (82.2%) and 89 females (17.8%)] under 65 years. The risk of MI for carriers of the homozygous CC genotype of rs1333049 and homozygous GG genotype of rs10757278 was 1.77 [95% confidence interval (CI): 1.36-2.37], and 1.70 (95% CI: 1.24-2.32) respectively. The risk of MI for heterozygous allele carriers was slightly lower. Specifically, the risk of MI was 1.58 (95% CI: 1.18-2.11) for both heterozygous and homozygous carriers of the rs1333049 C allele, and 1.36 (95% CI: 1.01-1.83) for the carriers of the rs10757278 G allele. A logistic regression model including sex, age, presence of excess weight or obesity, abdominal obesity, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, positive family history and smoking status parameters revealed that rs1333049 CC genotype was an independent predictive factor of myocardial infraction [OR=1.71 (95% CI: 1.16-2.52), P=0.006]. Patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during index hospitalization and patients who did not receive PCI were followed up for two years after discharge. Compared with patients with MI who underwent PCI, the risk of recurrent acute coronary syndrome (re-ACS) was higher among rs1333049 C allele carriers who did not receive PCI during index hospitalization. One year after MI, the OR of re-ACS was 4.91 (95% CI: 1.45-16.66), while two years after MI, OR was 3.77 (95% CI: 1.50-9.52) in those patients who did not receive PCI during index hospitalization. There was no statistically significant association between polymorphic variants of rs1333049 and MI follow-up outcomes in patients who underwent PCI. The present study indicated clinical utility of 9p21.3 genotyping to predict the outcomes for patients with MI without PCI. Due to the small sample size, this association study forms basis for larger, nationwide studies investigating clinical applications of genetic data.
