摘要

Molecular Biology Genetics Genetics (clinical)
Large-scale meta-analyses of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified>175 loci associated with fasting cholesterol levels, including total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), and triglycerides (TG). With differences in linkage disequilibrium (LD) structure and allele frequencies between ancestry groups, studies in additional large samples may detect new associations. We conducted staged GWAS metaanalyses in up to 69,414 East Asian individuals from 24 studies with participants from Japan, the Philippines, Korea, China, Singapore, and Taiwan. These meta-analyses identified (P<5×10 <sup>-8</sup> ) three novel loci associated with HDL-C near CD163-APOBEC1 (P=7.4×10 <sup>-10</sup> ), NCOA2 (P=1.6×10 <sup>-8</sup> ), and NID2-PTGDR (P=4.2×10 <sup>-8</sup> ), and one novel locus associated with TG near WDR11-FGFR2 (P=2.7×10 <sup>-10</sup> ). Conditional analyses identified a second signal near CD163-APOBEC1.We then combined results from the East Asian meta-analysis with association results from up to 187,365 European individuals from the Global Lipids Genetics Consortium in a trans-ancestry meta-analysis. This analysis identified (log <sub>10</sub> Bayes Factor>6.1) eight additional novel lipid loci. Among the twelve total loci identified, the index variants at eight loci have demonstrated at least nominal significance with other metabolic traits in prior studies, and two loci exhibited coincident eQTLs (P<1×10 <sup>-5</sup> ) in subcutaneous adipose tissue for BPTF and PDGFC. Taken together, these analyses identified multiple novel lipid loci, providing new potential therapeutic targets.
