In this study, we aimed to investigate five known HUT2 genetic variants with metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its related traits in the Stanford Asia-Pacific Program for Hypertension and Insulin Resistance (SAPPHIRe) study cohort. Methods: Five HUT2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected and genotyped among 1791 subjects in the SAPPHIRe study cohort. We first computed allele frequency and performed Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) test in controls for each SNP. Next, we tested genotype associations with metabolic syndrome using multiple generalized estimating equations (GEE) models with covariate adjustment. Furthermore, multi-marker and multi-trait association tests were carried out using FBAT program. To account for multiple testing, Bonferroni correction was applied in this study. Results: Among those 5 HUT2 SNPs, SNPs 1, 2 and 3 were significantly associated with MetS in the total sample and females, separately (9×10-4?p?0.04), but only the association between SNP 1 and MetS in females remained statistically significant after Bonferroni correction. When testing 5 SNPs simultaneously, significant associations were found with triglycerides (TG) (p=0.04). Likewise, significant multi-trait association (combining the data of waist circumference, TG, high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol and fasting glucose together) was found with SNP 2 (p=0.04), but both results of multi-maker and multi-trait associations did not remain significant after multiple testing correction. Conclusion: The results have provided evidence that the HUT2 gene may play a certain role in developing MetS and its related traits in Asian population. Further investigation of the HUT2 gene influencing MetS and its related traits will be warranted. ? 2010 Elsevier B.V. |
