  • Association between a polymorphism in the carboxyl ester lipase gene and serum cholesterol profile

    • Carboxyl ester lipase (CEL) is involved in the hydrolysis and absorption of dietary lipids, but it is largely unknown to what extent CEL could be involved in determining the serum lipid levels. The C-terminal part of CEL consists of a unique structure with proline-rich O-glycosylated repeats of 11 amino-acid residues each. The common variant of the human CEL gene contains 16 proline-rich repeats, but there is a high degree of polymorphism in the repeated region. While the biological function of the polymorphic repeat region is unknown, it has been suggested that it may be important for protein stability and/or secretion of the enzyme. Given that the polymorphism in the repeated region may affect the functionality of the protein, this study aimed to investigate whether the number of repeated units is correlated to serum lipid phenotype. Comparison of CEL repeat genotype and serum lipid phenotype revealed an association between the number of repeats and serum cholesterol profile. Individuals carrying at least one allele with fewer than the common 16 repeats had significantly lower total and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol levels compared to individuals carrying two common alleles. This gives support to the notion that CEL may be involved in determining the plasma lipid composition.

  • The (in)famous GWAS P-value threshold revisited and updated for low-frequency variants.
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Human Genetics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1476-5438 .- 1018-4813. ; 24, s. 1202-1205

    • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have long relied on proposed statistical significance thresholds to be able to differentiate true positives from false positives. Although the genome-wide significance P-value threshold of 5 × 10(-8) has become a standard for common-variant GWAS, it has not been updated to cope with the lower allele frequency spectrum used in many recent array-based GWAS studies and sequencing studies. Using a whole-genome- and -exome-sequencing data set of 2875 individuals of European ancestry from the Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes (GoT2D) project and a whole-exome-sequencing data set of 13 000 individuals from five ancestries from the GoT2D and T2D-GENES (Type 2 Diabetes Genetic Exploration by Next-generation sequencing in multi-Ethnic Samples) projects, we describe guidelines for genome- and exome-wide association P-value thresholds needed to correct for multiple testing, explaining the impact of linkage disequilibrium thresholds for distinguishing independent variants, minor allele frequency and ancestry characteristics. We emphasize the advantage of studying recent genetic isolate populations when performing rare and low-frequency genetic association analyses, as the multiple testing burden is diminished due to higher genetic homogeneity.European Journal of Human Genetics advance online publication, 6 January 2016; doi:10.1038/ejhg.2015.269.

  • NordicDB : a Nordic pool and portal for genome-wide control data
  • 2010
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Human Genetics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1018-4813 .- 1476-5438. ; 18:12, s. 1322-1326

    • A cost-efficient way to increase power in a genetic association study is to pool controls from different sources. The genotyping effort can then be directed to large case series. The Nordic Control database, NordicDB, has been set up as a unique resource in the Nordic area and the data are available for authorized users through the web portal (http://www.nordicdb.org). The current version of NordicDB pools together high-density genome-wide SNP information from similar to 5000 controls originating from Finnish, Swedish and Danish studies and shows country-specific allele frequencies for SNP markers. The genetic homogeneity of the samples was investigated using multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis and pairwise allele frequency differences between the studies. The plot of the first two MDS components showed excellent resemblance to the geographical placement of the samples, with a clear NW-SE gradient. We advise researchers to assess the impact of population structure when incorporating NordicDB controls in association studies. This harmonized Nordic database presents a unique genome-wide resource for future genetic association studies in the Nordic countries.

  • Codon 72 polymorphism (rs1042522) of TP53 is associated with changes in diastolic blood pressure over time
  • 2012
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Human Genetics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1476-5438 .- 1018-4813. ; 20:6, s. 696-700

    • p53 is involved in stress response, metabolism and cardiovascular functioning. The C-allele of rs1042522 in the gene encoding for p53 is associated with longevity and cancer. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association of rs1042522 with changes in blood pressure, BMI and waist circumference using a longitudinal approach. Rs1042522 was analyzed in two longitudinal studies; the Doetinchem Cohort Study (DCS) and the Botnia Prospective Study (BPS). Changes in quantitative traits over time were investigated according to rs1042522 genotypes. An association between rs1042522 and changes in diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in the DCS over time was observed (P=0.004). Furthermore, a borderline significant association was detected with changes in waist circumference over time (P=0.03). These findings were also observed in the BPS (P=0.02 and P=0.05). The C/C-genotype (Pro/Pro) showed the most moderate time-related increase for the studied endpoints. Furthermore, data from the BPS suggested that the C/C-genotype protects against increases in glucose levels over time at 30 and 60 min during oral glucose tolerance test (P=0.01 and P=0.02). In conclusion, we found an association between the C/C-genotype of rs1042522 and changes in DBP and waist circumference over time. This might contribute to the longevity phenotype observed for the same genotype by others.

  • Harmonising and linking biomedical and clinical data across disparate data archives to enable integrative cross-biobank research
  • 2016
  • Ingår i: European Journal of Human Genetics. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1018-4813 .- 1476-5438. ; 24:4, s. 521-528

    • A wealth of biospecimen samples are stored in modern globally distributed biobanks. Biomedical researchers worldwide need to be able to combine the available resources to improve the power of large-scale studies. A prerequisite for this effort is to be able to search and access phenotypic, clinical and other information about samples that are currently stored at biobanks in an integrated manner. However, privacy issues together with heterogeneous information systems and the lack of agreed-upon vocabularies have made specimen searching across multiple biobanks extremely challenging. We describe three case studies where we have linked samples and sample descriptions in order to facilitate global searching of available samples for research. The use cases include the ENGAGE (European Network for Genetic and Genomic Epidemiology) consortium comprising at least 39 cohorts, the SUMMIT (surrogate markers for micro- and macro-vascular hard endpoints for innovative diabetes tools) consortium and a pilot for data integration between a Swedish clinical health registry and a biobank. We used the Sample avAILability (SAIL) method for data linking: first, created harmonised variables and then annotated and made searchable information on the number of specimens available in individual biobanks for various phenotypic categories. By operating on this categorised availability data we sidestep many obstacles related to privacy that arise when handling real values and show that harmonised and annotated records about data availability across disparate biomedical archives provide a key methodological advance in pre-analysis exchange of information between biobanks, that is, during the project planning phase.
