Variants associated with blood lipid levels may be population-specific. To identify low-frequency variants associated with this phenotype, population-specific reference panels may be used. Here we impute nine large Dutch biobanks (~35,000 samples) with the population-specific reference panel created by the Genome of The Netherlands Project and perform association testing with blood lipid levels. We report the discovery of five novel associations at four loci (P value <6.61 × 10(-4)), including a rare missense variant in ABCA6 (rs77542162, p.Cys1359Arg, frequency 0.034), which is predicted to be deleterious. The frequency of this ABCA6 variant is 3.65-fold increased in the Dutch and its effect (βLDL-C=0.135, βTC=0.140) is estimated to be very similar to those observed for single variants in well-known lipid genes, such as LDLR.
与血脂水平相关的变异可能具有人群特异性。为了识别与该表型相关的低频变异,可以使用人群特异性参考面板。在此,我们利用荷兰基因组计划创建的人群特异性参考面板对九个大型荷兰生物样本库(约35000个样本)进行基因填充,并对血脂水平进行关联测试。我们报告在四个基因座发现了五个新的关联(P值<6.61×10⁻⁴),包括ABCA6中的一个罕见错义变异(rs77542162,p.Cys1359Arg,频率0.034),预计该变异有害。该ABCA6变异在荷兰人群中的频率增加了3.65倍,其效应(βLDL-C = 0.135,βTC = 0.140)估计与在知名脂质基因(如LDLR)中的单变异观察到的效应非常相似。
