ABCA1 variant rs9282541 is associated with metabolic syndrome in Maya children.
Annals of Human Genetics 2024 January 10
INTRODUCTION: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a metabolic disorder encompassing risk factors for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes (T2D). In Mexico, the MetS is a national health problem in adults and children. Environmental and genetic factors condition the MetS. However, studies to elucidate the contribution of genetic factors to MetS in Mexico are scarce. A recent study showed that variant rs9282541 (A-allele) in ATP-binding cassette transporter A1 (ABCA1) was associated with T2D in the Maya population in addition to low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C). Thus, this study aimed to determine whether the genetic variant of ABCA1 A-allele (rs9282541, NM_005502.4:c.688C > T, NP_005493.2:p.Arg230Cys) is associated with MetS and its components in Mexican Maya children.
METHODS: The study was conducted in 508 children aged 9-13 from the Yucatán Peninsula. MetS was identified according to the de Ferranti criteria. Genotyping was performed using TaqMan assay by real-time PCR. Evaluation of genetic ancestry group was included.
RESULTS: The frequency of MetS and overweight-obesity was 45.9% and 41.6%, respectively. The genetic variant rs9282541 was associated with low HDL-C and high glucose concentrations. Remarkably, for the first time, this study showed the association of ABCA1 rs9282541 with MetS in Maya children with an OR of 3.076 (95% CI = 1.16-8.13 p = 0.023). Finally, this study reveals a high prevalence of MetS and suggests that variant rs9282541 of the ABCA1 gene plays an important role in the developing risk of MetS in Maya children.
