The adipocyte-derived protein adiponectin is highly heritable and inversely associated with risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) and coronary heart disease (CHD). We meta-analyzed 3 genome-wide association studies for circulating adiponectin levels (n = 8,531) and sought validation of the lead single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 5 additional cohorts (n = 6,202). Five SNPs were genome-wide significant in their relationship with adiponectin (P< or =5x10(-8)). We then tested whether these 5 SNPs were associated with risk of T2D and CHD using a Bonferroni-corrected threshold of P< or =0.011 to declare statistical significance for these disease associations. SNPs at the adiponectin-encoding ADIPOQ locus demonstrated the strongest associations with adiponectin levels (P-combined = 9.2x10(-19) for lead SNP, rs266717, n = 14,733). A novel variant in the ARL15 (ADP-ribosylation factor-like 15) gene was associated with lower circulating levels of adiponectin (rs4311394-G, P-combined = 2.9x10(-8), n = 14,733). This same risk allele at ARL15 was also associated with a higher risk of CHD (odds ratio [OR] = 1.12, P = 8.5x10(-6), n = 22,421) more nominally, an increased risk of T2D (OR = 1.11, P = 3.2x10(-3), n = 10,128), and several metabolic traits. Expression studies in humans indicated that ARL15 is well-expressed in skeletal muscle. These findings identify a novel protein, ARL15, which influences circulating adiponectin levels and may impact upon CHD risk.
Association between SNPs near ARL15 and adiponectin levels.(A) βLog(P-value) measures for association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and chromosomal position. (B) Linkage disequilibrium in GOLD heat map Haploview 4.0 color scheme, CEPH (Centre d'Γtude du Polymorphisme Humain) population. The x axis represents genomic position in Mb (A) and in kb (B). All P-values are derived from the discovery meta-analysis of CoLaus, TwinsUK, and Genetic Etiology of Metabolic Syndrome (GEMS) cohorts, except that for the lead SNP, rs4311394 (in red), which is derived from the combined P-value from the CoLaus, TwinsUK, GEMS, Framingham, InCHIANTI, Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging (BLSA), Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC), and European Prospective Investigation of Cancer-Norfolk (EPIC-Norfolk) cohorts.
