Rare variants at KCNJ2 are associated with LDL-cholesterol levels in a cross-population study.
Leveraging whole genome sequencing data of 1751 individuals from the UK and 2587 Qatari subjects, we suggest here an association of rare variants mapping to the sour taste-associated gene KCNJ2 with reduced low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C, P = 2.10 × 10-12) and with a 22% decreased dietary trans-fat intake. This study identifies a novel candidate rare locus for LDL-C, adding insights into the genetic architecture of a complex trait implicated in cardiovascular disease.

期刊介绍:
npj Genomic Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing the most important scientific advances in all aspects of genomics and its application in the practice of medicine.
The journal defines genomic medicine as "diagnosis, prognosis, prevention and/or treatment of disease and disorders of the mind and body, using approaches informed or enabled by knowledge of the genome and the molecules it encodes." Relevant and high-impact papers that encompass studies of individuals, families, or populations are considered for publication. An emphasis will include coupling detailed phenotype and genome sequencing information, both enabled by new technologies and informatics, to delineate the underlying aetiology of disease. Clinical recommendations and/or guidelines of how that data should be used in the clinical management of those patients in the study, and others, are also encouraged.
