Abstract
Cardiometabolic diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. Despite a known genetic component, our understanding of these diseases remains incomplete. Here, we analyzed the contribution of rare variants to 57 diseases and 26 cardiometabolic traits, using data from 200,337 UK Biobank participants with whole-exome sequencing. We identified 57 gene-based associations, with broad replication of novel signals in Geisinger MyCode. There was a striking risk associated with mutations in known Mendelian disease genes, including MYBPC3, LDLR, GCK, PKD1 and TTN. Many genes showed independent convergence of rare and common variant evidence, including an association between GIGYF1 and type 2 diabetes. We identified several large effect associations for height and 18 unique genes associated with blood lipid or glucose levels. Finally, we found that between 1.0% and 2.4% of participants carried rare potentially pathogenic variants for cardiometabolic disorders. These findings may facilitate studies aimed at therapeutics and screening of these common disorders.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Novel therapies for severe dyslipidemia target a wide range of unmet medical needs: severe familial hypercholesterolemia, severe hypertriglyceridemia and chylomicronemia, elevated lipoprotein (a), lipodystrophies, high-density lipoprotein particle diseases, lysosomal acid lipase deficiency and storage diseases, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and others. The purpose of this review is to describe the contribution of human genetics to the development of therapeutic approaches targeting severe dyslipidemia. RECENT FINDINGS Recent advances in human genetics and the identification of rare genetic variants having strong effects on disease risk not only accelerated the development of therapies for severe dyslipidemia, they also revealed new pathways, genes and mechanisms of health, disease or drug response, and facilitated molecular diagnosis, which may prove essential as the authorized use of some of these novel drugs is limited to specific conditions. In addition, the dissection of the gene and cell machinery gave rise to new technologies, gene-based therapies and biodrugs covering a broad range of novel agents currently available or in clinical development to treat severe lipid disorders. SUMMARY Several novel therapies are recently available or under development to treat severe dyslipidemia and associated risk stem directly from genetic research. Altogether, these therapies target a broad variety of severe dyslipidemia pathways or mechanisms and illustrate that clinical lipidology has now entered the era of precision medicine.

Mutational analysis of mitochondrial DNA in Brugada syndrome. Cardiovasc Pathol 2015; 25:47-54. [PMID: 26549652 DOI: 10.1016/j.carpath.2015.10.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.9] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2015] [Revised: 10/05/2015] [Accepted: 10/06/2015] [Indexed: 12/19/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a primary electrical disease associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation. This pathology has nuclear heterogeneous genetic origins, and at present, molecular diagnostic tests on nuclear DNA cover only 30% of BrS patients. The aim of this study was to assess the possible involvement of mitochondrial (mt) DNA variants in BrS since their etiological role in several cardiomyopathies has already been described. METHODS AND RESULTS The whole mt genome of BrS patients was sequenced and analyzed. A specific mtDNA mutation responsible for BrS can be excluded, but BrS patient d-loop was found to be more polymorphic than that of control cases (P=0.003). Moreover, there appears to be an association between patients with the highest number of variants (n>20) and four mt Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) (T4216C, A11251G, C15452A, T16126C) and the most severe BrS phenotype (P=0.002). CONCLUSIONS The high substitution rate found in BrS patient mtDNA is unlikely to be the primary cause of the disease, but it could represent an important cofactor in the manifestation of the BrS phenotype. Evidence suggesting that a specific mtDNA allelic combination and a high number of mtDNA SNPs may be associated with more severe cases of BrS represents the starting point for further cohort studies aiming to test whether this mt genetic condition could be a genetic modulator of the BrS clinical phenotype.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Detection of high-impact variants on lipid traits is complicated by complex genetic architecture. Although genome-wide association studies (GWAS) successfully identified many novel genes associated with lipid traits, it was less successful in identifying variants with a large impact on the phenotype. This is not unexpected, as the more common variants detectable by GWAS typically have small effects. The availability of large familial datasets and sequence data has changed the paradigm for successful genomic discovery of the novel genes and pathogenic variants underlying lipid disorders. RECENT FINDINGS Novel loci with large effects have been successfully mapped in families, and next-generation sequencing allowed for the identification of the underlying lipid-associated variants of large effect size. The success of this strategy relies on the simplification of the underlying genetic variation by focusing on large single families segregating extreme lipid phenotypes. SUMMARY Rare, high-impact variants are expected to have large effects and be more relevant for medical and pharmaceutical applications. Family data have many advantages over population-based data because they allow for the efficient detection of high-impact variants with an exponentially smaller sample size and increased power for follow-up studies.

A Comprehensive In Silico Analysis of the Functional and Structural Impact of Nonsynonymous SNPs in the ABCA1 Transporter Gene. CHOLESTEROL 2014; 2014:639751. [PMID: 25215231 PMCID: PMC4156994 DOI: 10.1155/2014/639751] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/30/2014] [Revised: 07/07/2014] [Accepted: 07/24/2014] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Disease phenotypes and defects in function can be traced to nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms (nsSNPs), which are important indicators of action sites and effective potential therapeutic approaches. Identification of deleterious nsSNPs is crucial to characterize the genetic basis of diseases, assess individual susceptibility to disease, determinate molecular and therapeutic targets, and predict clinical phenotypes. In this study using PolyPhen2 and MutPred in silico algorithms, we analyzed the genetic variations that can alter the expression and function of the ABCA1 gene that causes the allelic disorders familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia and Tangier disease. Predictions were validated with published results from in vitro, in vivo, and human studies. Out of a total of 233 nsSNPs, 80 (34.33%) were found deleterious by both methods. Among these 80 deleterious nsSNPs found, 29 (12.44%) rare variants resulted highly deleterious with a probability >0.8. We have observed that mostly variants with verified functional effect in experimental studies are correctly predicted as damage variants by MutPred and PolyPhen2 tools. Still, the controversial results of experimental approaches correspond to nsSNPs predicted as neutral by both methods, or contradictory predictions are obtained for them. A total of seventeen nsSNPs were predicted as deleterious by PolyPhen2, which resulted neutral by MutPred. Otherwise, forty two nsSNPs were predicted as deleterious by MutPred, which resulted neutral by PolyPhen2.

Abstract
Linkage analysis of complex traits has had limited success in identifying trait-influencing loci. Recently, coding variants have been implicated as the basis for some biomedical associations. We tested whether coding variants are the basis for linkage peaks of complex traits in 42 African-American (n = 596) and 90 Hispanic (n = 1,414) families in the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Family Study (IRASFS) using Illumina HumanExome Beadchips. A total of 92,157 variants in African Americans (34%) and 81,559 (31%) in Hispanics were polymorphic and tested using two-point linkage and association analyses with 37 cardiometabolic phenotypes. In African Americans 77 LOD scores greater than 3 were observed. The highest LOD score was 4.91 with the APOE SNP rs7412 (MAF = 0.13) with plasma apolipoprotein B (ApoB). This SNP was associated with ApoB (P-value = 4 × 10(-19)) and accounted for 16.2% of the variance in African Americans. In Hispanic families, 104 LOD scores were greater than 3. The strongest evidence of linkage (LOD = 4.29) was with rs5882 (MAF = 0.46) in CETP with HDL. CETP variants were strongly associated with HDL (0.00049 < P-value <4.6 × 10(-12)), accounting for up to 4.5% of the variance. These loci have previously been shown to have effects on the biomedical traits evaluated here. Thus, evidence of strong linkage in this genome wide survey of primarily coding variants was uncommon. Loci with strong evidence of linkage was characterized by large contributions to the variance, and, in these cases, are common variants. Less compelling evidence of linkage and association was observed with additional loci that may require larger family sets to confirm.

Abstract
Although numerous genes are known to regulate serum lipid traits, identified variants explain only a small proportion of the expected heritability. We intended to identify further genetic variants associated with lipid phenotypes in a self-contained population of Sorbs in Germany. We performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) on LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C), and triglyceride (TG) levels in 839 Sorbs. All single-nucleotide polymorphisms with a P value <0.01 were subjected to a meta-analysis, including an independent Swedish cohort (Diabetes Genetics Initiative; n = ∼3,100). Novel association signals with the strongest effects were subjected to replication studies in an additional German cohort (Berlin, n = 2,031). In the initial GWAS in the Sorbs, we identified 14 loci associated with lipid phenotypes reaching P values <10⁻⁵ and confirmed significant effects for 18 previously reported loci. The combined meta-analysis of the three study cohorts (n(HDL) = 6041; n(LDL) = 5,995; n(TG) = 6,087) revealed a novel association for a variant in THOC5 (rs8135828) with serum HDL-C levels (P = 1.78 × 10⁻⁷; Z-score = -5.221). Consistently, the variant was also associated with circulating APOA1 levels in Sorbs. The small interfering RNA-mediated mRNA silencing of THOC5 in HepG2 cells resulted in lower mRNA levels of APOA1, SCARB1, and ABCG8 (all P < 0.05). We propose THOC5 to be a novel gene involved in the regulation of serum HDL-C levels.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE There are several known monogenic causes of high and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels, but traditional sequencing studies have had limited success in identifying mutations in the majority of individuals with extreme HDL-C levels. The aim of this study was to assess the power of a targeted high-throughput sequencing strategy to elucidate the genetic basis of extreme HDL-C phenotypes. APPROACH AND RESULTS We sequenced 195 genes with either established or implicated roles in lipid and lipoprotein metabolism plus 78 lipid-unrelated genes in patients with HDL-C <1st (n=40) or >99th (n=40) percentile values, and the results were compared with those of 498 individuals representative of the Dutch general population and 95 subjects with normal HDL-C (between 40th and 60th percentile values). The extreme HDL cohort carried more rare nonsynonymous variants in the lipid geneset than both the general population (odds ratio, 1.39; P=0.019) and normal HDL-C (odds ratio, 1.43; P=0.040) cohorts. The prevalence of such variants in the lipid-related and lipid-unrelated genesets was similar in the control groups, indicative of equal mutation rates. In the extreme HDL cohort, however, there was enrichment of rare nonsynonymous variants in the lipid versus the control geneset (odds ratio, 2.23; P<0.0001), and 70% of the lipid-related variants altered conserved nucleotides. The lipid geneset comprised 4 nonsense, 10 splice-site, and 8 coding indel variants, whereas the control geneset contained only 1 such variant. In the lipid geneset, 87% and 28% of the patients carried ≥ 2 and ≥ 5 rare variants. CONCLUSIONS This study suggests that most extreme HDL-C phenotypes have a polygenic origin.

Abstract
Background In a marker-trait association study we estimated the statistical significance of 65 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in 23 candidate genes on HDL levels of two independent Caucasian populations. Each population consisted of men and women and their HDL levels were adjusted for gender and body weight. We used a linear regression model. Selected genes corresponded to folate metabolism, vitamins B-12, A, and E, and cholesterol pathways or lipid metabolism. Methods Extracted DNA from both the Sacramento and Beltsville populations was analyzed using an allele discrimination assay with a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry platform. The adjusted phenotype, y, was HDL levels adjusted for gender and body weight only statistical analyses were performed using the genotype association and regression modules from the SNP Variation Suite v7. Results Statistically significant SNP (where P values were adjusted for false discovery rate) included: CETP (rs7499892 and rs5882); SLC46A1 (rs37514694; rs739439); SLC19A1 (rs3788199); CD36 (rs3211956); BCMO1 (rs6564851), APOA5 (rs662799), and ABCA1 (rs4149267). Many prior association trends of the SNP with HDL were replicated in our cross-validation study. Significantly, the association of SNP in folate transporters (SLC46A1 rs37514694 and rs739439; SLC19A1 rs3788199) with HDL was identified in our study. Conclusions Given recent literature on the role of niacin in the biogenesis of HDL, focus on status and metabolism of B-vitamins and metabolites of eccentric cleavage of β-carotene with lipid metabolism is exciting for future study.
