Ítem Variants in ABCG8 and TRAF3 genes confer risk for gallstone disease in admixed Latinos with Mapuche Native American ancestry(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12) Bustos, Bernabé I.; Pérez-Palma, Eduardo; Buch, Stephan; Azócar, Lorena; Riveras, Eleodoro; Ugarte, Giorgia D.; Toliat, Mohammad; Nürnberg, Peter; Lieb, Wolfgang; Franke, Andre; Hinz, Sebastian; Burmeister, Greta; Schönfels, Witigo von; Schafmayer, Clemens; Völzke, Henry; Völker, Uwe; Homuth, Georg; Lerch, Markus M.; Santos, José Luis; Puschel, Klaus; Bambs, Claudia; Roa, Juan Carlos; Gutiérrez, Rodrigo A.; Hampe, Jochen; Ferrari, Giancarlo V. De; Miquel, Juan FranciscoLatin Americans and Chilean Amerindians have the highest prevalence of gallstone disease (GSD) and gallbladder cancer (GBC) in the world. A handful of loci have been associated with GSD in populations of predominantly European ancestry, however, they only explain a small portion of the genetic component of the disease. Here, we performed a genome-wide association study (GWAS) for GSD in 1,095 admixed Chilean Latinos with Mapuche Native American ancestry. Disease status was assessed by cholecystectomy or abdominal ultrasonography. Top-10 candidate variants surpassing the suggestive cutoff of P < 1 × 10−5 in the discovery cohort were genotyped in an independent replication sample composed of 1,643 individuals. Variants with positive replication were further examined in two European GSD populations and a Chilean GBC cohort. We consistently replicated the association of ABCG8 gene with GSD (rs11887534, P = 3.24 × 10−8, OR = 1.74) and identified TRAF3 (rs12882491, P = 1.11 × 10−7, OR = 1.40) as a novel candidate gene for the disease in admixed Chilean Latinos. ABCG8 and TRAF3 variants also conferred risk to GBC. Gene expression analyses indicated that TRAF3 was significantly decreased in gallbladder (P = 0.015) and duodenal mucosa (P = 0.001) of GSD individuals compared to healthy controls, where according to GTEx data in the small intestine, the presence of the risk allele contributes to the observed effect. We conclude that ABCG8 and TRAF3 genes are associated with GSD and GBC in admixed Latinos and that decreased TRAF3 levels could enhance gallbladder inflammation as is observed in GSD and GSD-associated GBC. © 2019, The Author(s).Ítem Variants in ABCG8 and TRAF3 genes confer risk for gallstone disease in admixed Latinos with Mapuche Native American ancestry(Nature Publishing Group, 2019-12-01) Bustos, Bernabé I.; Pérez-Palma, Eduardo; Buch, Stephan; Azócar, Lorena; Riveras, Eleodoro; Ugarte, Giorgia D.; Toliat, Mohammad; Nürnberg, Peter; Lieb, Wolfgang; Franke, Andre; Hinz, Sebastian; Burmeister, Greta; von Schönfels, Witigo; Schafmayer, Clemens; Völzke, Henry; Völker, Uwe; Homuth, Georg; Lerch, Markus M.; Santos, José Luis; Puschel, Klaus; Bambs, Claudia; Roa, Juan Carlos; Gutiérrez, Rodrigo A.; Hampe, Jochen; De Ferrari, Giancarlo V.; Miquel, Juan FranciscoLatin Americans and Chilean Amerindians have the highest prevalence of gallstone disease (GSD) and gallbladder cancer (GBC) in the world.

De; Miquel, Juan Francisco; Gutiérrez, Rodrigo A.Whole human genome sequencing initiatives help us understand population history and the basis of genetic diseases. Current data mostly focuses on Old World populations, and the information of the genomic structure of Native Americans, especially those from the Southern Cone is scant. Here we present annotation and variant discovery from high-quality complete genome sequences of a cohort of 11 Mapuche-Huilliche individuals (HUI) from Southern Chile. We found approximately 3.1 × 10 6 single nucleotide variants (SNVs) per individual and identified 403,383 (6.9%) of novel SNVs events. Analyses of large-scale genomic events detected 680 copy number variants (CNVs) and 4,514 structural variants (SVs), including 398 and 1,910 novel events, respectively. Global ancestry composition of HUI genomes revealed that the cohort represents a sample from a marginally admixed population from the Southern Cone, whose main genetic component derives from Native American ancestors. Additionally, we found that HUI genomes contain variants in genes associated with 5 of the 6 leading causes of noncommunicable diseases in Chile, which may have an impact on the risk of prevalent diseases in Chilean and Amerindian populations. Our data represents a useful resource that can contribute to population-based studies and for the design of early diagnostics or prevention tools for Native and admixed Latin American populations. © 2019, The Author(s).
