genetics of common diseases
• rarely monogenic• most often (i) polygenic and (ii) multifactorial
a phenotypic trait determined by (i) interaction between several genes/loci, each with a small additive effect (ii) influence of environmental factors

Genetics of ‘common diseases’
• family studies
• increased incidence of a disease in particular families• ‘common environment’: check not related individuals (spouses)
• twin concordance studies
• dizygous (DZ) vs monozygous (MZ) twins• ‘common environment’: twins raised in different environment concordant: both affected or neither affected
genetically determined: MZ similarly affected, DZ notenvironmental: MZ=DZ
• adoption studies, population and immigration studies

Genetics of ‘common diseases’
Evidence for multifactorial inheritence
Sufficient evidence is obtained for geneticsusceptibility for a given common disorder
Which strategies for disease gene identification can be followed?
Example of CHD: what causes do we know for the disease?

linkage
• genes are on chromosomes and thus assumed to be linked during transmission from one generation to another • in reality linkage only holds for relative small distances due to meiotic crossing over
• linkage analysis: follow the pattern of inheritance of polymorphic markers in pedigrees in which a disease phenotype segregates
• 1% recombination = 1cM
• RFLP, minisatellites (VNTRs), microsatellites or (CA)n repeats
![Page 11: 2002 les 4 HMG common diseases.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55578215d8b42aa3378b4598/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
linkage
odds of linkage = likelyhood for linkage/no linkage
LOD: logarithm of the odds ratio for linkage
LOD score >3 = significant linkage <-2 = no significant linkage

association studies and LD
• linkage disequilibrium: combination of closely linked alleles, referred to as haplotypes, originating from a single ancestral chromosome
apparently contradictory with the expected random association assuming the occurrence of random CO over many generations
• cause: ‘founder’ mutations, recent mutations
• studied by polymorphic markers (RFLPs, CA repeats , more recently SNPs)
• study of ‘inbred strains’ of mice or rats

Association studies for detection of disease genesusing linkage disequilibrium
Can we use SNPs for association studies in man• SNPs common and rare• SNPs coding and non coding
• analysis of haplotypes and LD using SNPscomputer simulation and experimental datasuggest that LD extends only a few kb away from SNPs
other data suggest > 100 kb
reasons for discrepanysmall studiesdifferent populations

Association studies for detection of disease genesusing linkage disequilibrium
Reich et al. Nature Genetics May 2001
rather large blocks of LD interspersed with recombination hot spots
![Page 17: 2002 les 4 HMG common diseases.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55578215d8b42aa3378b4598/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Association studies for detection of disease genesusing linkage disequilibrium
Study design (Reich et al. Nature Genetics May 2001)
• 19 different chromosomal regions anchored around a coding SNP• finished sequence for at least 160 kb (North European)• frequent minor (less common) allele
allows cross population comparisonpossible with modest sample sizeuseful in search for common diseases
• resequencing of 2 kb region at 0-5-10-20-40-80-160 kb272 high frequency polymorphismscalculation of allele frequency and LD

Association studies for detection of disease genesusing linkage disequilibrium
Results (Reich et al. Nature Genetics May 2001)
• relatively large blocks of LD• why?• Study of Yorubans, Nigerian population common ancestry with NE around 100.000 yrs ago similar allelic combinations at short distance half length LD is less than 5 kb
Consequences
• genome wide LD mapping probably possible but• limited resolution, choose other populations for refined mapping

Mouse models• history: ~1900 ‘inbred strains of mice’
• until ~1970s: difficulties in finding the responsible defects
• later: linkage analysis, positional cloning, genetic maps of mouse and man al lead to identification of ‘single gene mutants’
• development of powerful statistical programs lead to ‘quantitative trait locus’ (QTL) analysis
advantages through inbreeding and controlled environmental factors (eg nutrition)• knock out and transgenic mice

Exogenous pathway: dietary lipid absorption and transport
• absorption of fatty acids and cholesterol in intestinal aborptive cell
• esterification to triglycerids and cholesterol-esters, respectively
• transport to lymphatic system and into plasma in the form of chylomicrons (triglyceride rich lipoproteins)
![Page 33: 2002 les 4 HMG common diseases.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55578215d8b42aa3378b4598/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Exogenous pathway: dietary lipid absorption and transport
• chylomicrons are large particles consisting of core of triglycerids and cholesterol-estersapolipoprotein apoB48 and small amounts of apo CI, CII, CIII en E and A-IV
• metabolised (hydrolyse) in peripheral capillaries to fatty acids as energy source for skeletal muscle tissue or for storage in fat cells, through the action of lipoproteine lipase (LPL) and apoCII as co-factor
• following release of triglycerids, apoA en apoC are transferred to HDL by LPL, chylomicron remnants (cholesterol-rich) are removed from circulation by LDL receptor en LRP (low density lipoprotein receptor related protein) mediated pathways in the liver
![Page 34: 2002 les 4 HMG common diseases.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55578215d8b42aa3378b4598/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
• liver synthesises triglycerids and cholesterol, which together with residual dietary fat, fat-soluble vitamins and apoB100 (1 molecule per VLDL partikel) are incorporated into VLDL particles and secreted into circulation
• aim: transport of fatty acids from liver to other tissues
• functional form results through inclusion of apoE and apoCII en CIII from HDL
• hydrolyse and removal of core-triglyceride by LPL
result: VLDL remnants = IDL (intermediate density lipoproteins)1/2 absorbed by liver via apoB (= ligand for LDL receptor)1/2 hydrolysed by hepatic lipase to LDL (cholesterol-ester rich)
Endogenous pathway: hepatic lipoproteins
![Page 35: 2002 les 4 HMG common diseases.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55578215d8b42aa3378b4598/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
- carries 60-70% of plasma cholesterol, delivers cholesterol to peripheral tissues and to the liver for further metabolism and excretion in bile (receptor mediated process)
- 75% taken up by liver via apoB100 (ligand for LDL receptor)
- 24% to peripheral tissues for membrane and steroid hormone biosynthesis
metabolic consequences of cholestrol uptake by cells (1) decreased de novo cholesterol synthesis, (2) increased conversion of cholesterol into cholesterolester (=storage form of cholesterol) (3) decreased expression of LDL receptors
- remaining 1% remains in circulation and can be modified by oxidation, these oxidised LDL particles can attract ‘scavenger’ macrophages which become foam cells as they ingest these particles

DYSLIPIDEMIAS
• familial LPL and apoCII (=LPL co-factor) deficiency- no hydrolysis of chilomicrons and VLDL resulting in hypertriglyceridemia, no increased risk for atherosclerose- 1/mio except in high risk populations (eg Quebec)- low fat intake
![Page 37: 2002 les 4 HMG common diseases.ppt](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062405/55578215d8b42aa3378b4598/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• FH, familial hypercholesterolaemia - defect in LDL receptor gene: no LDL ‘clearance’ from circulation (no r, precursor doens’t reach the membrane, r doens’t bind LDL, hundreds of different mutations) - HoZ (LDLx4-6) not older than 30 yr, HeZ (1/500) 1/2 heart attack before age of 60 yr (LDLx2)
• familial apoB100 defect - one single mutation - no binding of LDL to receptor - HeZ increased LDL 50-100% - 1/1000

leptin-leptin receptor
- leptos = thin
- hormone primarily produced by adipocyt
- belongs to cytokine family of proteins
- is responsible for complex neural respons incl hunger, behavioural changes (search for food), decreased metabolism, infertility...

- communication concerning lon term energy storage
- other effects outside CNS: decreased triglyceride accumulation in tissues other than fat tissue (eg muscle, liver), contributes to insuline resistance
- abscence of leptin signal in the presence of food causes obesitas
- causes decreased expression of NPY/Argp

CART/POMC/-MSH
- CART: cocaine and amphetamine related transcript -MSH: derived from proopiomelanocortin (POMC)- CART and POMC are induced by leptin (anorexigenic)- produced by two neuronal populations within the hypothalamus- POMC: twchildren with HoZ or compound HoZ for loss-of-function mutation

Mc4r
- hypothalamic homologue of MC1R (receptor in melanocytes)- KO: melanocortin obesity syndrome = agouti but without yellow hair color- mutation in humans are responsible for 4-5%of obesity cases (haploinsufficiency, not dominant negative)

Other genes
• neuropeptide processing enzyme
- carboxypeptidase E: exclusively in mouse (fat) - PC-1: discovered in man
complex obesity syndromes in mouse and manprobably as a results of POMC processing
MC3R: obesity in mouse
UCP and BAT (brown adipose tissue)
