Gene-based genome-wide association study identified 19p13.3 for lean body mass.
Scientific Reports 2017 March 22
Lean body mass (LBM) is a complex trait for human health. To identify genomic loci underlying LBM, we performed a gene-based genome-wide association study of lean mass index (LMI) in 1000 unrelated Caucasian subjects, and replicated in 2283 unrelated Caucasians subjects. Gene-based association analyses highlighted the significant associations of three genes UQCR, TCF3 and MBD3 in one single locus 19p13.3 (discovery p = 6.10 × 10-5 , 1.65 × 10-4 and 1.10 × 10-4 ; replication p = 2.21 × 10-3 , 1.84 × 10-3 and 6.95 × 10-3 ; combined p = 2.26 × 10-6 , 4.86 × 10-6 and 1.15 × 10-5 , respectively). These results, together with the known functional relevance of the three genes to LMI, suggested that the 19p13.3 region containing UQCR, TCF3 and MBD3 genes was a novel locus underlying lean mass variation.
