Genome-wide linkage analysis of carotid artery traits in exceptionally long-lived families.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Atherosclerosis develops with age and is partially controlled by genetics. Research to date has identified common variants with small effects on atherosclerosis related traits. We aimed to use family-based genome-wide linkage analysis to identify chromosomal regions potentially harboring rare variants with larger effects for atherosclerosis related traits. METHODS:Participants included 2205 individuals from the Long Life Family Study (LLFS), which recruited families with exceptional longevity from Boston, New York, Pittsburgh, and Denmark. Participants underwent B-mode ultrasonography of the carotid arteries to measure intima-media thickness (IMT), inter-adventitial diameter (IAD), and plaque presence and severity. We conducted residual heritability and genome-wide linkage analyses adjusted for age, age2, sex, and field center using pedigree-based maximum-likelihood methods in SOLAR. RESULTS:All carotid traits were significantly heritable with a range of 0.68 for IAD to 0.38 for IMT. We identified three chromosomal regions with linkage to IAD (3q13; max LOD 5.3), plaque severity (17q22-q23, max LOD 3.2), and plaque presence (17q24, max LOD 3.1). No common allelic variants within these linkage peaks were associated with the carotid artery traits. CONCLUSIONS:We identified three chromosomal regions with evidence of linkage to carotid artery diameter and atherosclerotic plaque in exceptionally long-lived families. Since common allelic variants within our linkage peaks did not account for our findings, future follow-up resequencing of these regions in LLFS families should help advance our understanding of atherosclerosis, CVD, and healthy vascular aging.
