Journal Article
An epigenome-wide association study of metabolic syndrome and its components
2020
Overview
The role of metabolic syndrome (MetS) as a preceding metabolic state for type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease is widely recognised. To accumulate knowledge of the pathological mechanisms behind the condition at the methylation level, we conducted an epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) of MetS and its components, testing 1187 individuals of European ancestry for approximately 470 000 methylation sites throughout the genome.

associated both with serum triglycerides (
P

−9
) and waist circumference (
P
= 5.21 × 10
−9
). The previously identified type 2 diabetes–associated locus cg08309687 in chromosome 21 associated with waist circumference for the first time (
P
= 2.24 × 10
−7
). Furthermore, a novel HDL association with cg17901584 in chromosome 1 was identified (
P
= 7.81 × 10
−8
). Our study supports previous genetic studies of MetS, finding that lipid metabolism plays a key role in pathology of the syndrome. We provide evidence regarding a close interplay with glucose metabolism. Finally, we suggest that in attempts to identify methylation loci linking separate MetS components, cg19693031 appears to represent a strong candidate.
