Abstract
Dementia has enormous implications for patients and the health care system. Genetic markers are promising for detecting the risk of cognitive impairment. We hypothesized that genetic variants associated with suicide risk might significantly increase the risk of cognitive decline because suicide in older adults is often a consequence of cognitive impairment. We investigated several single-nucleotide polymorphisms that were initially associated with suicide risk in dementia older adults and identified the APOE gene alleles. The study was performed with subjects over the age of 65: 112 patients with dementia and 146 healthy volunteers. The MMSE score was used to assess cognitive functions. Study participants were genotyped using real-time PCR (APOE: rs429358, rs7412; genes associated with suicide: rs9475195, rs7982251, rs2834789, rs358592, rs4918918, rs3781878, rs10903034, rs165774, rs16841143, rs11833579 rs10898553, rs7296262, rs3806263, and rs2462021). Genotype analysis revealed the significance of APOEε4, APOEε2, and rs4918918 (SORBS1) when comparing dementia and healthy control groups. The association of APOEε4, APOEε2, and rs10903034 (IFNLR1) with the overall MMSE score was indicated. The study found an association with dementia of rs4918918 (SORBS1) and rs10903034 (IFNLR1) previously associated with suicide and confirmed the association of APOEε4 and APOEε2 with dementia.

Abstract
AIM Sorbin and SH3-domain-containing-1 (SORBS1) play important roles in insulin signalling and cytoskeleton regulation. Variants of the SORBS1 gene have been inconsistently reported to be associated with type 2 diabetes or diabetic kidney disease (DKD). METHODS Two independent case-control studies based on two randomized sampling cohorts (cohort 1, n = 3345; cohort 2, n = 2282) were used to confirm the association between rs2281939 of SORBS1 and impaired glucose regulation (IGR). An additional hospital-based cohort (cohort 3, n = 2135) and cohort 1 were used to investigate the association between rs2281939 and DKD. The phenotype of rare variants of SORBS1 was explored in 453 patients with early onset type 2 diabetes (diagnosed before 40 years of age, EOD). RESULTS The G allele was associated with type 2 diabetes (additive model: OR = 1.25, 95% CI [1.03-1.52], p = 0.022) in cohort 1, and IGR in cohort 2 (additive model: OR = 1.22, 95% CI [1.05-1.43], p = 0.01). We found that the G allele was also associated with HDL-c levels in women in both cohort 1 (p = 0.03) and 2 (p = 0.029) in the dominant model. The rare variant carriers also had lower HDL-c and LDL-c levels than non-carriers in patients with EOD. No association between rs2281939 or rare variants and DKD was observed. CONCLUSIONS The variants in the SORBS1 gene were associated with IGR and HDL-c levels but not with DKD in the Chinese Han population.

Abstract
As the world's population ages, the age-related cognitive decline presents a great challenge to world's healthcare systems. One of the molecular mechanisms implicated in cognitive ageing is DNA methylation, an epigenetic modification known to be a key player in memory formation, maintenance, and synaptic plasticity. Using the twin design we performed an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) in a population of 486 middle-aged monozygotic twins (mean age at follow-up 65.9, SD = 6.1) and correlated their blood DNA methylation to their level (cross-sectional analysis) and change in cognitive abilities over 10 years (longitudinal analysis). We identified several CpG sites where cross-sectional cognitive functioning was associated with DNA methylation levels. The top identified loci were located in ZBTB46 (p = 5.84 × 10-7), and TAF12 (p = 4.91 × 10-7). KEGG's enrichment analyses of the most associated findings identified "Neuroactive ligand-receptor interaction" as the most enriched pathway (p = 0.0098). Change in cognitive functioning over 10 years was associated with DNA methylation levels in AGBL4 (p = 9.01 × 10-7) and SORBS1 (p = 5.28 × 10-6), with the first gene playing an important role in neuronal survival and the latter gene implicated before in Alzheimer's disease and ischemic stroke. Our findings point to an association between changes in DNA methylation of genes related to neuronal survival and change of cognitive functioning in aging individuals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND CCL11 is an important inflammatory cytokine associated with inflammation-related diseases such as atherosclerosis and stroke. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between CCL11 gene polymorphism with subtypes of ischemic stroke in Xinjiang Han populations. MATERIAL AND METHODS The improved multiple ligase detection reaction (iMLDR) method was used to analyze the genotypes of 6 tag SNPs in the CCL11 gene (rs1129844, rs17809012, rs1860183, rs1860184, rs4795898, and rs4795895) in a case-control study of 406 lacunar stroke patients, 214 large-artery atherosclerotic (LAA) stroke patients, and 425 controls. RESULTS We found the GG genotype of rs4795895 was significantly associated with increased risk of lacunar stroke (adjusted OR=1.676, 95%CI=1.117-2.515), and the GA genotype of rs17809012 was associated with a significant increase in risk of LAA stroke (adjusted OR=1.337, 95%CI=1.127-1.585). Hypertension stratification analyses showed that the GA genotype of rs17809012 was significantly associated with LAA stroke in the hypertensive group (adjusted OR=1.274, 95%CI=1.015-1.601). In the non-hypertensive group, the GA genotype of rs17809012 was significantly associated with LAA stroke (adjusted OR=1.361, 95%CI=1.041-1.780). The GG genotype of rs4795895 (adjusted OR=1.147, 95%CI=1.115-4.134) and the TT genotype of rs1860184 were significantly associated with lacunar stroke (adjusted OR=2.440, 95%CI=1.550-3.840). CONCLUSIONS This study demonstrates that the CCL11 gene could play an important role in the pathogenesis of lacunar stroke and LAA stroke in the Han population of China.

Abstract
Essential hypertension is a complex disease involving multiple genetic and environmental factors. A human gene containing a sorbin homology domain and 3 SH3 domains in the C-terminal region, termed SORBS1, plays a significant role in insulin signaling. We previously found a significant association between the T228A polymorphism and insulin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. It has been hypothesized that a set of genes responsible for insulin resistance may be closely linked with genes susceptible to the development of hypertension. Identification of insulin resistance-related genetic factors may, therefore, enhance our understanding of essential hypertension. This study aimed to examine whether common SORBS1 genetic variations are associated with blood pressure and age at onset of hypertension in an ethnic Chinese cohort.We genotyped 9 common tagged single nucleotide polymorphisms of the SORBS1 gene in 1136 subjects of Chinese origin from the Stanford Asia-Pacific Program for Hypertension and Insulin Resistance family study. Blood pressure was measured upon enrolment. The associations of the SORBS1 single nucleotide polymorphisms with blood pressure and the presence of hypertension were analyzed with a generalized estimating equation model. We used the false-discovery rate measure Q value with a cutoff <0.1 to adjust for multiple comparisons. In the Cox regression analysis for hypertension-free survival, a robust sandwich variance estimator was used to deal with the within-family correlations with age at onset of hypertension. Gender, body mass index, and antihypertension medication were adjustment covariates in the Cox regression analysis.In this study, genetic variants of rs2281939 and rs2274490 were significantly associated with both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. A genetic variant of rs2274490 was also significantly associated with the presence of hypertension. Furthermore, genetic variants of rs2281939 and rs2274490 were associated with age at onset of hypertension after adjustment for gender, body mass index, and antihypertension medication.In conclusion, we provide evidence for an association between common SORBS1 genetic variations and blood pressure, presence of hypertension, and age at onset of hypertension. The biological mechanism of genetic variation associated with blood pressure regulation needs further investigation.

Abstract
Although various loci and genes have been implicated in predisposition to hypertension by genetic linkage analyses and candidate gene association studies, the genes that confer susceptibility to this condition remain to be identified definitively. We have now examined the relationships of 22 candidate gene polymorphisms with the prevalence of hypertension and with blood pressure (BP) in a 6-year population-based longitudinal cohort study and observed significant relationships of three polymorphisms of SORBS1, GCK and WISP1 with hypertension. The 2233 subjects (1106 women, 1127 men) were aged 40-79 years and were randomly recruited to a population-based prospective cohort study of aging and age-related diseases in Japan. BP was measured with subjects having rested in the sitting position for at least 15 min. Genotypes for the 682A --> G (Thr228Ala) polymorphism of SORBS1, the -30G --> A polymorphism of GCK and the 2364A --> G polymorphism of WISP1 were determined by melting curve analysis. Longitudinal analysis with a generalized estimating equation revealed that the polymorphisms of SORBS1 and GCK and that of WISP1 were significantly associated with the prevalence of hypertension in women and men, respectively. Longitudinal analysis with a mixed-effect model revealed that the polymorphism of SORBS1 was significantly related to diastolic BP in women and that those of GCK and WISP1 were significantly related to both systolic and diastolic BP in women and men, respectively. These results suggest that SORBS1 and GCK are susceptibility loci for hypertension in Japanese women and that WISP1 is such a locus in men.

Abstract
The underlying pathogenesis of stroke is mediated by a variety of environmental risk factors as well as genetic ones. Thus, we have to evaluate the environmental factors precisely to identify the stroke-related gene polymorphisms. The Hisayama study, an epidemiological study of cardiovascular diseases, was established in 1961 in Hisayama, Japan. In 2002, a screening survey for the genetic study was performed in Hisayama. The Fukuoka Stroke Registry (FSR) is a hospital-based registration of stroke patients. Stroke specialists from eight medical centers in southern Japan have participated in FSR. In the present study, control and case subjects were recruited from the Hisayama study and FSR, respectively. We performed a genome-wide case-control study and found that a nonsynonymous SNP in PRKCH encoding a member of protein kinase C (PKCC eta) was significantly associated with brain infarction. As a candidate gene analysis, we investigated the role of NAD (P) H oxidase C242T polymorphism in the development of brain infarction. The C242T polymorphism was not associated with lacunar and atherothrombotic infarction; however, the presence of T-allele may have a protective role in the occurrence of atrial fibrillation and cardioembolic brain infarction. These studies may provide important information for the development of the therapeutic strategies against stroke.
