Description:
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified many risk loci for complex diseases, but effect sizes are typically small and information on the underlying biological processes is often lacking. Associations with metabolic traits as functional intermediates can overcome these problems and potentially inform individualized therapy. Here we report a comprehensive analysis of genotype-dependent metabolic phenotypes using a GWAS with non-targeted metabolomics. We identified 37 genetic loci associated with blood metabolite concentrations, of which 25 show effect sizes that are unusually high for GWAS and account for 10-60% differences in metabolite levels per allele copy. Our associations provide new functional insights for many disease-related associations that have been reported in previous studies, including those for cardiovascular and kidney disorders, type 2 diabetes, cancer, gout, venous thromboembolism and Crohn's disease. The study advances our knowledge of the genetic basis of metabolic individuality in humans and generates many new hypotheses for biomedical and pharmaceutical research.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3832838/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉 〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3832838/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Suhre, Karsten -- Shin, So-Youn -- Petersen, Ann-Kristin -- Mohney, Robert P -- Meredith, David -- Wagele, Brigitte -- Altmaier, Elisabeth -- CARDIoGRAM -- Deloukas, Panos -- Erdmann, Jeanette -- Grundberg, Elin -- Hammond, Christopher J -- de Angelis, Martin Hrabe -- Kastenmuller, Gabi -- Kottgen, Anna -- Kronenberg, Florian -- Mangino, Massimo -- Meisinger, Christa -- Meitinger, Thomas -- Mewes, Hans-Werner -- Milburn, Michael V -- Prehn, Cornelia -- Raffler, Johannes -- Ried, Janina S -- Romisch-Margl, Werner -- Samani, Nilesh J -- Small, Kerrin S -- Wichmann, H-Erich -- Zhai, Guangju -- Illig, Thomas -- Spector, Tim D -- Adamski, Jerzy -- Soranzo, Nicole -- Gieger, Christian -- 091746/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 091746/Z/10/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 1R01HL103931-01/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- HL087647/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- MOP172605/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- MOP77682/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- MOP-82810/Canadian Institutes of Health Research/Canada -- N01-AG-12100/AG/NIA NIH HHS/ -- N01-HC-55015/HC/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- N01-HC-55016/HC/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- N01-HC-55018/HC/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- N01-HC-55019/HC/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- N01-HC-55020/HC/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- N01-HC-55021/HC/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- N01-HC-55022/HC/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P01 HL098055/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P01HL076491-06/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- P01HL087018/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL087647/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01 HL087676/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- R01DK080732/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01HL089650-02/HL/NHLBI NIH HHS/ -- Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council/United Kingdom -- British Heart Foundation/United Kingdom -- Cancer Research UK/United Kingdom -- Intramural NIH HHS/ -- Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- England -- Nature. 2011 Aug 31;477(7362):54-60. doi: 10.1038/nature10354.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Institute of Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Helmholtz Zentrum Munchen, German Research Center for Environmental Health, Ingolstadter Landstrasse 1, 85764 Neuherberg, Germany. karsten@suhre.fr〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21886157" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
