Mutations in PCSK1 cause monogenic obesity. To assess the contribution of PCSK1 to polygenic obesity risk, we genotyped tag SNPs in a total of 13,659 individuals of European ancestry from eight independent case-control or family-based cohorts. The nonsynonymous variants rs6232, encoding N221D, and rs6234-rs6235, encoding the Q665E-S690T pair, were consistently associated with obesity in adults and children (P = 7.27 x 10(-8) and P = 2.31 x 10(-12), respectively). Functional analysis showed a significant impairment of the N221D-mutant PC1/3 protein catalytic activity.
前蛋白转化酶枯草溶菌素1(PCSK1)基因突变会导致单基因肥胖。为评估PCSK1对多基因肥胖风险的影响,我们对来自八个独立病例对照或家系队列的总共13659名欧洲裔个体的标签单核苷酸多态性(tag SNPs)进行了基因分型。编码N221D的非同义变体rs6232以及编码Q665E-S690T对的rs6234-rs6235,在成人和儿童中均与肥胖持续相关(P值分别为7.27×10⁻⁸和2.31×10⁻¹²)。功能分析表明,N221D突变的PC1/3蛋白催化活性显著受损。
