Abstract

Adult height is a classic polygenic trait of high heritability (h(2) approximately 0.8). More than 180 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), identified mostly in populations of European descent, are associated with height. These variants convey modest effects and explain approximately10% of the variance in height. Discovery efforts in other populations, while limited, have revealed loci for height not previously implicated in individuals of European ancestry. Here, we performed a meta-analysis of genome-wide association (GWA) results for adult height in 20,427 individuals of African ancestry with replication in up to 16,436 African Americans. We found two novel height loci (Xp22-rs12393627, P = 3.4×10(-12) and 2p14-rs4315565, P = 1.2×10(-8)). As a group, height associations discovered in European-ancestry samples replicate in individuals of African ancestry (P = 1.7×10(-4) for overall replication). Fine-mapping of the European height loci in African-ancestry individuals showed an enrichment of SNPs that are associated with expression of nearby genes when compared to the index European height SNPs (P

Abstract

P06 Genomic regions have been linked to hypertriglyceridemia associated with familial syndromes, such as familial combined hyperlipidemia. However, there is little information regarding chromosomal regions harboring susceptibility genes for more common forms of hypertriglyceridemia. Significant linkage of triglycerides (TGs) was recently identified on chromosome 15 in Mexican Americans (LOD=3.88). As part of the NHLBI-sponsored Family Heart Study (FHS), a genome-wide linkage analysis was done to replicate this finding or to identify other quantitative trait loci for TGs. Multi-generational families were recruited (a) at excess risk of early onset myocardial infarction and (b) randomly selected from Framingham, Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities, and Utah Family Tree Studies. The largest families were selected for genomic analysis (105 families, family size=8.6). Microsatellite markers (n=369), approximately equally spaced throughout the genome (CHLC-10), were typed by the NHLBI Mammalian Genotyping Service. TGs were measured in participants fasting for at least 12 hours. TGs were adjusted for sex, age and age 2 , and log-transformed to normalize the distribution. The search for quantitative trait loci for TGs was carried out using a multipoint model-free variance components method implemented in GENEHUNTER. The mean age was 60 years and 52% were female. The mean triglyceride value in the family members was 146 (±85) mg/dl in men and 155 (±102) mg/dl in women. Evidence for linkage was identified on chromosome 4 (LOD=3.23 (p
