Effect of the Melanocortin 4-Receptor Ile269Asn Mutation on Weight Loss Response to Dietary, Phentermine and Bariatric Surgery Interventions. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13122267. [PMID: 36553534 PMCID: PMC9778600 DOI: 10.3390/genes13122267] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2022] [Revised: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/29/2022] [Indexed: 12/03/2022] Open
Abstract
The loss of function melanocortin 4-receptor (MC4R) Ile269Asn mutation has been proposed as one of the most important genetic contributors to obesity in the Mexican population. However, whether patients bearing this mutation respond differently to weight loss treatments is unknown. We tested the association of this mutation with obesity in 1683 Mexican adults, and compared the response of mutation carriers and non-carriers to three different weight loss interventions: dietary restriction intervention, phentermine 30 mg/day treatment, and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery. The Ile269Asn mutation was associated with obesity [OR = 3.8, 95% CI (1.5-9.7), p = 0.005]. Regarding interventions, in the dietary restriction group only two patients were MC4R Ile269Asn mutation carriers. After 1 month of treatment, both mutation carriers lost weight: -4.0 kg (-2.9%) in patient 1, and -1.8 kg (-1.5%) in patient 2; similar to the mean weight loss observed in six non-carrier subjects (-2.9 kg; -2.8%). Phentermine treatment produced similar weight loss in six carriers (-12.7 kg; 15.5%) and 18 non-carriers (-11.3 kg; 13.6%) after 6 months of pharmacological treatment. RYGB also caused similar weight loss in seven carriers (29.9%) and 24 non-carriers (27.8%), 6 months after surgery. Our findings suggest that while the presence of a single MC4R loss of function Ile269Asn allele significantly increases obesity risk, the presence of at least one functional MC4R allele seems sufficient to allow short-term weight loss in response to dietary restriction, phentermine and RYGB. Thus, these three different interventions may be useful for the short-term treatment of obesity in MC4R Ile269Asn mutation carriers.

Abstract
Background Hyperuricemia is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes, although it is uncertain whether this relationship is causal in nature. This study aimed to: (1) assess the heritability of serum uric acid (SUA) levels, (2) conduct a genome‐wide association study on SUA levels, and (3) investigate the association between certain single‐nucleotide polymorphisms and target organ damage. Methods and Results The STANISLAS (Suivi Temporaire Annuel Non‐Invasif de la Santé des Lorrains Assurés Sociaux) study cohort is a single‐center longitudinal cohort recruited between 1993 and 1995 (visit 1), with a last visit (visit 4 [V4]) performed ≈20 years apart. Serum lipid profile, SUA, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio, estimated glomerular filtration rate, 24‐hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, transthoracic echocardiography, pulse wave velocity, and genotyping for each participant were assessed at V4. A total of 1573 participants were included at V4, among whom 1417 had available SUA data at visit 1. Genome‐wide association study results highlighted multiple single‐nucleotide polymorphisms on the SLC2A9 gene linked to SUA levels. Carriers of the most associated mutated SLC2A9 allele (rs16890979) had significantly lower SUA levels. Although SUA level at V4 was highly associated with diabetes, prediabetes, higher body mass index, CRP (C‐reactive protein) levels, estimated glomerular filtration rate variation (visit 1–V4), carotid intima‐media thickness, and pulse wave velocity, rs16890979 was only associated with higher carotid intima‐media thickness. Conclusions Our findings demonstrate that rs16890979, a genetic determinant of SUA levels located on the SLC2A9 gene, is associated with carotid intima‐media thickness despite significant associations between SUA levels and several clinical outcomes, thereby lending support to the hypothesis of a link between SUA and cardiovascular disease.

Sci Rep 2022; 12:5519. [PMID: 35365700 PMCID: PMC8975867 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-022-09393-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/18/2021] [Accepted: 03/08/2022] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
The glucokinase regulator gene (GCKR) is located on chromosome 2p23. It plays a crucial role in maintaining plasma glucose homeostasis and metabolic traits. Recently, genome-wide association studies have revealed a positive association between hyperuricemia and GCKR variants in adults. This study investigated this genetic association in Taiwanese adolescents. Data were collected from our previous cross-sectional study (Taipei Children Heart Study). The frequencies of various genotypes (CC, CT, and TT) or alleles (C and T) of the GCKR intronic single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs780094 and the coding SNP rs1260326 (Pro446Leu, a common 1403C-T transition) were compared between a total of 968 Taiwanese adolescents (473 boys, 495 girls) with hyperuricemia or normal uric acid levels on the basis of gender differences. Logistic and linear regression analyses explored the role of GCKR in abnormal uric acid (UA) levels. Boys had higher UA levels than girls (6.68 ± 1.29 and 5.23 ± 0.95 mg/dl, respectively, p < 0.001). The analysis of both SNPs in girls revealed that the T allele was more likely to appear in patients with hyperuricemia than the C allele. After adjusting for confounders, the odds ratio (OR) for hyperuricemia incidence in the TT genotype was 1.75 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.02–3.00), which was higher than that in the C allele carriers in rs1260326 in the girl population. Similarly, the TT genotypes had a higher risk of hyperuricemia, with an OR of 2.29 (95% CI 1.11–4.73) for rs1260326 and 2.28 (95% CI 1.09–4.75) for rs780094, than the CC genotype in girl adolescents. The T (Leu446) allele of GCKR rs1260326 polymorphism is associated with higher UA levels in Taiwanese adolescent girls.

Abstract
Gout is a common hyperuricaemic metabolic condition that leads to painful inflammatory arthritis and a high comorbidity burden, especially cardiometabolic-renal (CMR) conditions, including hypertension, myocardial infarction, stroke, obesity, hyperlipidaemia, type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease. Substantial advances have been made in our understanding of the excess CMR burden in gout, ranging from pathogenesis underlying excess CMR comorbidities, inferring causal relationships from Mendelian randomization studies, and potentially discovering urate crystals in coronary arteries using advanced imaging, to clinical trials and observational studies. Despite many studies finding an independent association between blood urate levels and risk of incident CMR events, Mendelian randomization studies have largely found that serum urate is not causal for CMR end points or intermediate risk factors or outcomes (such as kidney function, adiposity, metabolic syndrome, glycaemic traits or blood lipid concentrations). Although limited, randomized controlled trials to date in adults without gout support this conclusion. If imaging studies suggesting that monosodium urate crystals are deposited in coronary plaques in patients with gout are confirmed, it is possible that these crystals might have a role in the inflammatory pathogenesis of increased cardiovascular risk in patients with gout; removing monosodium urate crystals or blocking the inflammatory pathway could reduce this excess risk. Accordingly, data for CMR outcomes with these urate-lowering or anti-inflammatory therapies in patients with gout are needed. In the meantime, highly pleiotropic CMR and urate-lowering benefits of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and key lifestyle measures could play an important role in comorbidity care, in conjunction with effective gout care based on target serum urate concentrations according to the latest guidelines.

Front Genet 2021; 12:709887. [PMID: 34531894 PMCID: PMC8438144 DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.709887] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/14/2021] [Accepted: 08/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Genetic variants and obesity are risk factors for hyperuricemia (HUA). Recent genome-wide association studies have identified ABCG2 rs2231142 as one of the most prominent genetic variants for HUA in an East Asian population. Nevertheless, no large-scale studies have demonstrated any interactive effects between this variant and obesity on serum urate level in Asians. This study aimed to determine the interaction of ABCG2 rs2231142 variant and body mass index (BMI) and its effect on risk of HUA in an East Asian population. Methods: The study was conducted using the Taiwan Biobank database, a population-based biomedical research database of patients with Taiwanese Han Chinese ancestry aged 30–70years between September 2014 and May 2017. Detailed physical information on participants were collected by questionnaires and genotyping using Affymetrix TWB 650K SNP chip. The primary outcome was HUA, defined as a serum uric acid level>7.0mg/dl. Odds ratio (OR) of HUA was analyzed using logistic regression models and the effects of interaction between ABCG2 rs2231142 variants and BMI on serum uric acid level were explored. Results: We identified 25,245 subjects, 4,228 (16.75%) of whom had HUA. The prevalence of HUA was 30% in men and 3.8% in women. The risk of HUA was significantly associated with ABCG2 rs2231142 risk T allele, with more HUA in TT genotype (OR: 2.40, 95% CI: 2.11–2.72, p<0.001) and TG genotype (OR: 1.64, 95% CI: 1.51–1.78, p<0.001) in men, and TT genotype (OR: 2.42, 95% CI: 1.83–3.20, p<0.001) and TG genotype (OR: 1.82, 95% CI: 1.46–2.23, p<0.001) in women, compared with their counterparts. Moreover, we found a strong genetic-environmental interaction associated with the risk of HUA. There was increased risk of HUA by the interaction of ABCG2 rs2231142 variant and BMI for TT genotype (OR: 7.42, 95% CI: 2.54–21.7, p<0.001) and TG genotype (OR: 4.25, 95% CI: 2.13–8.47, p<0.001) in men compared with the GG genotype in men, and for TT genotype (OR: 25.43, 95% CI: 3.75–172.41, p<0.001) and TG genotype (OR: 3.05, 95% CI: 0.79–11.71, p=0.011) in women compared with the GG genotype in women. Conclusion: The risk of HUA was markedly increased by the interaction of ABCG2 rs2231142 variant and BMI, both in men and in women. Body weight control and reduction in BMI are recommended in high-risk patients with the ABCG2 rs2231142 risk T allele.

Abstract
Objective Low HDL-C (high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) is the most frequent dyslipidemia in Mexicans, but few studies have examined the underlying genetic basis. Our purpose was to identify genetic variants associated with HDL-C levels and cardiovascular risk in the Mexican population. Approach and Results A genome-wide association studies for HDL-C levels in 2335 Mexicans, identified four loci associated with genome-wide significance: CETP, ABCA1, LIPC, and SIDT2. The SIDT2 missense Val636Ile variant was associated with HDL-C levels and was replicated in 3 independent cohorts (P=5.9×10−18 in the conjoint analysis). The SIDT2/Val636Ile variant is more frequent in Native American and derived populations than in other ethnic groups. This variant was also associated with increased ApoA1 and glycerophospholipid serum levels, decreased LDL-C (low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) and ApoB levels, and a lower risk of premature CAD. Because SIDT2 was previously identified as a protein involved in sterol transport, we tested whether the SIDT2/Ile636 protein affected this function using an in vitro site-directed mutagenesis approach. The SIDT2/Ile636 protein showed increased uptake of the cholesterol analog dehydroergosterol, suggesting this variant affects function. Finally, liver transcriptome data from humans and the Hybrid Mouse Diversity Panel are consistent with the involvement of SIDT2 in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Conclusions This is the first genome-wide association study for HDL-C levels seeking associations with coronary artery disease in the Mexican population. Our findings provide new insight into the genetic architecture of HDL-C and highlight SIDT2 as a new player in cholesterol and lipoprotein metabolism in humans.

Abstract
Hyperuricaemia (HU) caused by disorders of purine metabolism is a metabolic disease. A number of epidemiological reports have confirmed that HU is correlated with multiple disorders, such as chronic kidney diseases, cardiovascular disease and gout. Recent studies showed that the expression and functional changes of uric acid transporters, including URAT1, GLUT9 and ABCG2, were associated with HU. Moreover, a large number of genome-wide association studies have shown that these transporters' dysfunction leads to HU. In this review, we describe the recent progress of aetiology and related transporters of HU, and we also summarise the common co-morbidities possible mechanisms, as well as the potential pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment methods for HU, aiming to provide new ideas for the treatment of HU.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Serum uric acid (SUA) levels have been reported to be associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) among patients with diabetes in observational study. Whether this relationship is causal remains unclear. The current study aimed to explore the causal association between SUA and the risk of CAD in patients with diabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS A two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach was employed to evaluate the causal effect of SUA on the risk of CAD in patients with diabetes. A total of 28 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to SUA were identified as instruments. Genetic association with CAD were obtained from a recently published genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 15,666 patients with diabetes (3968 CAD cases and 11,696 controls). The fixed-effects inverse variance-weighted method was employed to estimate the causal effect for the primary analysis, and other robust methods were employed for sensitivity analyses. In addition, the whole analyses were repeated using 9 non-pleiotropic SNPs. Genetic determined SUA levels were not significantly associated with the risk of CAD in patients with diabetes in the primary analysis (odds ratio = 1.13, 95% confidence interval: 0.98-1.16, P = 0.09). Consistent results were observed in the sensitivity analyses using various robust methods. In addition, this finding was confirmed by the repeated analyses using 9 non-pleiotropic SNPs. CONCLUSIONS This two-sample MR study does not support a causal effect of genetically predicted SUA levels on the risk of CAD in patients with diabetes.

Abstract
Background: Hyperuricemia is a pathological condition associated with risk factors of cardiovascular disease. In this study, three genetic polymorphisms were genotyped as predisposing factors of hyperuricemia. Methods: A total of 860 Mexicans (129 cases and 731 controls) between 18 and 25 years of age were genotyped for the ABCG2 (Q191K), SLC22A12 (517G>A), and XDH (518T>C) polymorphisms, as predisposing factors of hyperuricemia. Biochemical parameters were measured by spectrophotometry, while genetic polymorphisms were analyzed by real-time PCR. An analysis of the risk of hyperuricemia in relation to the variables studied was carried out using a logistic regression. Results: Male sex, being overweight or obese, having hypercholesterolemia or having hypertriglyceridemia were factors associated with hyperuricemia ( p ≤ 0.05). The ABCG2 polymorphism was associated with hyperuricemia (OR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.41-4.17, p = 0.001) and hypercholesterolemia (OR = 4.89, 95% CI: 1.54-15.48, p = 0.003), employing a dominant model, but only in male participants. Conclusions: The ABCG2 (Q191K) polymorphism increases the risk of hyperuricemia and hypercholesterolemia in young Mexican males.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia is common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and may be present in 50%
of patients presenting for dialysis. Hyperuricemia can be secondary to impaired
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) that occurs in CKD. However, hyperuricemia can
also precede the development of kidney disease and predict incident CKD.
Experimental studies of hyperuricemic models have found that both soluble and
crystalline uric acid can cause significant kidney damage, characterized by
ischemia, tubulointerstitial fibrosis, and inflammation. However, most Mendelian
randomization studies failed to demonstrate a causal relationship between uric
acid and CKD, and clinical trials have had variable results. Here we suggest
potential explanations for the negative clinical and genetic findings, including
the role of crystalline uric acid, intracellular uric acid, and xanthine oxidase
activity in uric acid-mediated kidney injury. We propose future clinical trials
as well as an algorithm for treatment of hyperuricemia in patients with CKD.

Abstract
While studies have reported genetic loci affecting serum urate (SU) concentrations, few studies have been conducted in minority populations. Our objective for this study was to identify genetic loci regulating SU in a multigenerational family-based cohort of American Indians, the Strong Heart Family Study (SHFS). We genotyped 162,718 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 2000 SHFS participants using an Illumina MetaboChip array. A genome-wide association analysis of SU was conducted using measured genotype analysis approach accounting for kinships in SOLAR, and meta-analysis in METAL. Our results showed strong association of SU with rs4481233, rs9998811, rs7696092 and rs13145758 (minor allele frequency (MAF) = 25–44%; P < 3 × 10−14) of solute carrier family 2, member 9 (SLC2A9) and rs41481455, rs2231142 and rs1481012 (MAF = 29%; p < 3 × 10−9) of ATP-binding cassette protein, subfamily G, member 2 (ABCG2). Carriers of G alleles of rs9998811, rs4148155 and rs1481012 and A alleles of rs4481233, rs7696092 and rs13145758 and rs2231142 had lower SU concentrations as compared to non-carriers. Genetic analysis of SU conditional on significant SLC2A9 and ABCG2 SNPs revealed new loci, nucleobindin 1 (NUCB1) and neuronal PAS domain protein 4 (NPAS4) (p <6× 10−6). To identify American Indian-specific SNPs, we conducted targeted sequencing of key regions of SLC2A9. A total of 233 SNPs were identified of which 89 were strongly associated with SU (p < 7.1 × 10−10) and 117 were American Indian specific. Analysis of key SNPs in cohorts of Mexican-mestizos, European, Indian and East Asian ancestries showed replication of common SNPs, including our lead SNPs. Our results demonstrate the association of SU with uric acid transporters in a minority population of American Indians and potential novel associations of SU with neuronal-related genes which warrant further investigation.

Abstract
Risk of hyperuricemia is modified by genetic and environmental factors. Our aim was to identify factors associated with serum uric acid levels and hyperuricemia in Mexicans. A pilot Genome-wide association study GWAS was performed in a subgroup of participants (n = 411) from the Health Workers Cohort Study (HWCS). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with serum uric acid levels were validated in all the HWCS participants (n = 1939) and replicated in independent children (n = 1080) and adult (n = 1073) case-control studies. The meta-analysis of the whole HWCS and replication samples identified three SLC2A9 SNPs: rs1014290 (p = 2.3 × 10−64), rs3775948 (p = 8.2 × 10−64) and rs11722228 (p = 1.1 × 10−17); and an ABCG2 missense SNP, rs2231142 (p = 1.0 × 10−18). Among the non-genetic factors identified, the visceral adiposity index, smoking, the metabolic syndrome and its components (waist circumference, blood pressure, glucose and hyperlipidemia) were associated with increased serum uric acid levels and hyperuricemia (p < 0.05). Among the female HWCS participants, the odds ratio for hyperuricemia was 1.24 (95% CI, 1.01–1.53) per unit increase in soft drink consumption. As reported in other studies, our findings indicate that diet, adiposity and genetic variation contribute to the elevated prevalence of hyperuricemia in Mexico.
